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.

Let your imagination go wild. You have been riding on a dusty, bumpy, hot stagecoach all day from Mariposa. Or perhaps the day is freezing cold and you are bundled up the best you can in that stagecoach with your coat and some quilts. You are approaching Cold Spring Stage Stop and sure are looking forward to the break. You will most certainly stretch your legs while the stage changes out the stock, maybe get a cold drink of water, a hot meal or spend the night before traveling on to visit those Giant Sequoias that you have heard so much about.
