National Parks

YUP, I'm situated smack between three of the most visited National Parks in America! Mother Nature blessed California with some of the most beautiful places on earth! JUST GO!!! And enjoy the Magic that will be bestowed upon you! But also please be a good visitor... by: Staying away from all wildlife in the parks (this is their home), you are privileged to visit!! Taking all of your trash out of the park with you or placing in appropriate receptacles in the park. Staying on the marked trails. Obeying all park rules, regulations and speed limits! Safety first! Have a great time and ENJOY our National Treasures!
