    Great job as always, you make the absolute best California videos there are. Beautiful images, great editing by the way, and superb content. I really appreciate your effort on these terrific videos.😊
  • Fantastic collection and videos! Thank you so much. I travel with my dog often, State Parks are iffy. Could you add something in your site to let us know which are dog friendly?
  • This is one of the principal reasons on why I love California 😍 The landscape diversity is amazing 😍😍

    I came across a gem, Patrick's Point state park, a couple decades ago when on vacation. This place has been planted firmly in my head! Great views of the ocean and a beautiful beach covered with multi-colored pebbles. An enchanting place!
  • You left out our CROWN JEWEL: Point Lobos near Carmel! The park boasts gorgeous hiking trails and diverse coastal scenery. It’s my favorite State Park! Thank you for this beautiful video! There are just a few parks I have yet to explore, but most of them I’ve visited and revisited. All of them are worth the trip!
  • @HuckOutdoors
    The Humboldt Redwoods State Park may be favorite out of this list.
  • @evslone
    Great list and wonderful photography. The California travel folks should be enlisting you to promote this great state.

    How about Montaña de Oro. Diverse hiking trails in forestry tree lines to the beach or along the cliffs. Spring flowers and sunsets in spring are gorgeous.
