California boasts more national parks than any other state, beating out even famously scenic states like Alaska and Utah. And the Golden State s 10 national parks certainly show off the diverse landscapes you can find on the west coast, from the towering redwoods of NorCal, the arid deserts of SoCal, the iconic flora of Joshua Tree and the surreal geologic snapshots of past volcanic eruptions and the movement of glaciers.
From crown jewels of the whole system like Yosemite to remote marine ecosystems like Channel Islands National Park, California s national parks certainly pack a punch. Indeed, not only are there ten parks proper, but a bevy of other protected places run by the national parks service, including national monuments, wilderness areas, seashores, and preserves.

MADERA COUNTY, Calif. Devils Postpile National Monument is technically located on the Easternmost edge of Madera County but only accessible through HWY 395 in Mono county, Devils Postpile is a 60-foot tall geological wonder nestled in the Ansel Adams Wilderness. The odd column-shaped rocks are the main attraction and the hike to the top is actually not that far just a quarter-mile.
