The California State Parks system stands as a testament to the state's commitment to preserving its diverse natural and cultural heritage. Stretching across a vast and varied landscape, from coastal cliffs and redwood forests to deserts and historical sites, the system encompasses over 280 parks, offering an unparalleled array of outdoor experiences. These parks not only provide opportunities for recreation, including hiking, camping, and picnicking, but also serve as vital sanctuaries for the state's unique ecosystems and wildlife. Rich in history, the California State Parks system safeguards historic landmarks, Native American heritage sites, and artifacts, fostering an appreciation for the state's rich past. With a mission to inspire, educate, and conserve, the parks invite visitors to connect with the natural beauty and cultural legacy that define California, making them integral to the state's identity and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
I have visited more than 100 California State Parks in my adult life, and have photographed nearly as many. As a lifelong Californian, the CA State Parks system is one of the crown jewels of our state in my opinion. This California State Parks photography gallery features a selection of my top photos from these state parks and beaches.
