California's most scenic and most well-known natural park is the Yosemite National Park. The massive park is overlooked by the Sierra Nevada, an impressive mountain range. Just don't visit during the winter to be on the safe side. The winter storms here are both daunting and dangerous, directly and indirectly.
There are lots of things to do around the park. Hiking across virgin dirt trails and off-road, fish in the clear waters of the lakes and streams, go rafting in the exquisite Toulumne River and explore towns inspired by the last-century gold rushes. And if camping and tents and roughhouses aren't your thing, you can always go to a nearby motel for your overnight stay.
The park is lush with everything. From rock climbing mountain faces (of note are El Capitan, Half Dome, and Sentinel Rock), to some of the most beautiful of meadows like the Toulumne Meadows (same name as the river) and the Dana Meadows. There are also the legendary Sequoia trees California is famous about, these redwood trees sprouting up as high as 200 feet and even higher.
A lot of things can be done inside the park. Hiking, as mentioned, can be a day trip or a multi-day backpack adventure. Multi-day backpack trips are only allowed during spring up till fall. Biking, is also available through the seasons of spring and fall, and is not allowed during the other seasons, though off-trail biking and mountain biking are all prohibited.
If you are the winter-type of person, Yosemite is available though most of the main roads are closed off because of heavy snowing. They have downhill skiing at the Badger Pass Ski Area, probably the oldest skiing area in Yosemite. They also hold winter events like the Bracebridge dinner. - 20765
