A Day In The Park: Redwood National And State Parks

Visit Redwood National and State Parks in northern California and you can wander shaded forest trails lit by pale sunlight filtering through mist swirling around the crowns of tall trees while walking alongside forest floors carpeted by feathered fern fronds in varying shades of green. You’ll smell the forest scents and maybe a little salt air from the Pacific Ocean beyond.

A Day In The Park: Lassen Volcanic National Park

Sometimes, it takes a monumental event to spur Congress into establishing a national park. Such a significant event, or rather, series of events, occurred between 1914 and 1915 when Lassen Peak in northern California belched billowing black mushroom clouds of steam, ash, and hot rocks onto the landscape as far as 200 miles (322 kilometers) from the summit.
