It seems to me I heard somewhere that Patty Winter wrote in article
: In article , Rosario wrote: Hi all, I'm making a road trip from San Francisco and was wondering if anyone could recommend any dramatically scenic California state parks below Yosemite National as I head towards Orange County. If you go to this page: http://www.parks.ca.gov/parkindex/default.asp?tab=2 you can click on the regions through which you'll be passing, depending on which route you plan to take from Yosemite to Orange County. If you're going through the eastern Sierra, Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve is fascinating. Depending on the time of year you're visiting, the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve might be a don't-miss place. (They're at their peak in the early to mid spring.) If you're taking the coastal route, there are a number of fantastic viewing areas. If you're coming down the San Joaquin Valley side via Hwy 99/I-5 you might want to visit Fort Tejon State Historical Park at the top of the Grapevine grade on I-5. It's a Civil war era fort which is partially restored and sometimes has reenactments. Not as great on scenery as on history and atmosphere. teaser It was the western terminus of the army's camel corps. /teaser -- Don |

Thanks guys for all these informative suggestions. I will take them to
heart as I try to somehow encompass most of these areas into my trip. On Sat, 14 Aug 2004 10:09:00 +0100, "Keith Willshaw" wrote: "Rosario" wrote in message .. .

Thanks Kings Canyon and Sequoia NP are the most obvious inland Along the coast you have Pinnacles National Monument near Salinas and too many to mention along highway 1 especially near Big Sur and San Simeon Keith |

Peter,
May I use the pass in the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley as well as in Devi'ls Postpile? Thanks. "PeterL" escribió en el mensaje ... "Rosario" wrote in message ... Hi all, I'm making a road trip from San Francisco and was wondering if anyone could recommend any dramatically scenic California state parks below Yosemite National as I head towards Orange County. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks There are five national parks south of Yosemite, plus a natioanl monument and a national preserve. All of them quite scenic. Take your pick. King's Canyon, Sequoia, Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and Channel Islands. If you want to visit these buy an annual pass when you visit Yosemite. That way one pass gets you into all 6. |

Just make sure you ask for the National Parks Pass ($50), not the Yosemite Annual Pass ($40). The latter is only good at Yosemite. Patty |
