National Park
Yosemite National Park encompasses nearly 1,200 square miles of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Park was one of the first wilderness parks established in the United States and ranges in altitude from 2,000 feet to more than 13,000 feet above sea level. Yosemite National Park has a variety of terrain, from picturesque valleys with granite cliffs and spectacular waterfalls to giant sequoia trees and expansive wilderness areas. |

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks is a dynamic landscape of granite, marble and other forms of rock, carved by rivers and glaciers into canyons, towering rugged peaks and miles of underground caverns. Throughout the park, thousands of lakes and ponds and miles of rivers and streams provide a valuable source of water not only to park resources but also to the inhabitants of California’s Central Valley. |

Located in Northern California, Lassen Volcanic National Park is situated at the crossroads of three distinct biological regions: the Cascades range to the north, the Sierra Nevada mountains to the south and the Great Basin desert to the east. Although Lassen is primarily known for its volcanic geology, the park boasts a rich diversity of plant and animal life due to its geographic location and the abundance of habitats that occur there. |

Close to the California mainland, yet worlds apart, Channel Islands National Park encompasses five remarkable islands (Anacapa, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara) and their ocean environment, preserving and protecting a wealth of natural and cultural resources. Isolation over thousands of years has created unique animals, plants, and archeological resources found nowhere else on Earth and helped preserve a place where visitors can experience coastal southern California as it once was. |

Redwood National Park, located in the the North Coast region of California, supports an amazing diversity of life. The ancient coast redwood ecosystem preserved in the park contains some of the planet's most majestic forests. Here, banana slugs, gray whales, Douglas-fir, black bears, and sea anemones are equally at home with redwoods. |
