HIKING
The California Coastal Trail is a network of public trails
for walkers, bikers, equestrians and wheelchair riders that
covers 1,200 miles of California coastline. The trail is almost
complete and will ultimately extend all the way from Oregon
to Mexico! Visit coastwalk.org for more information.
BIRD WATCHING
Bring along your binoculars, field guide and birding checklist.
California is home to 641 recorded bird species, with many living in
protected habitat areas. Find a birding club to get more information
on where to spot year-round dwellers or to find out when migrating
species are passing through.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
No matter your experience or skill level, there are mountain bike trails
throughout California’s parks that promise fun and adventure. Some are
challenging, single-track trails that wind through the mountains, while others
are more gentle double-track trails suited to families or beginners.
GEOCACHING
Many California parks offer this fun, treasure-hunting activity in which hidden containers,
known as geocaches, are found using a hand-held GPS for navigation. Check online sources
for locations and regulations.
FISHING
Whether you prefer fly fishing in a mountain river or stream, fishing from a boat on a lake,
ocean fishing or casting from shore, California has the perfect spot. Always inquire at each
location about fishing licenses and other regulations.
BOATING
Many parks offer boat ramp access, boat campsites and other
amenities for sailing and paddling. Check the grid on the
reverse side of this map to see which state parks offer these
facilities. Always remember to wear a lifejacket.
CAMPING
California has a camping location to suit every taste, from beach to
mountain, from desert to forest. Accommodations run the gamut too,
from primitive sites with no amenites, to rustic cabin rentals, and everything in
between. Visit reserveamerica.com for location listings.
OHV
California’s extensive Off-Highway Vehicle trails can accomodate ATVs, dirt bikes, sand rails,
recreational utility vehicles, go carts, jeeps and 4x4s. Some have obstacle course areas
and professionally-designed motocross tracks. For locations, permits and other important
information, visit ohv.parks.ca.gov.
FUN STATE FACTS
• Sequoia National Park is home to the largest living tree. Its trunk is 102 feet in
	circumference!
• There are approximately 500,000 detectable seismic tremors in California annually.
• The state motto is “Eureka!”, a Greek word that translates as “I have found it!” The motto
	 was adopted in 1840 and relates to the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada.
• The first motion picture theater opened in Los Angeles on April 2, 1902.
• Death Valley is the lowest, hottest and driest place in the United States. An air temperature 		
	 of 134° F, recorded in 1913, remains a record.
• The first official surfing contest took place at Corona Del Mar 1928.
• In 1922, beach volleyball was first played in Santa Monica.
DESERT
Joshua Tree National Park, at almost 800,000 acres, is formed by
the union of two deserts: The Colorado Desert (low) in the eastern
half of the park and the Mojave (high) in the western half. The park
is named for the unusual tree that grows there, which serves as an
important source of food and shelter for birds, mammals, reptiles
and insects. Ancient rock formations throughout the park provide
great climbing opportunities for both experts and novices. Hiking,
camping and stargazing are other popular activities here.
MOUNTAIN
Mammoth Mountain, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, reaches
a height of 11,059 feet. The ski resort has 3,500 acres of skiable
terrain and one of the longest ski seasons, which runs from November
to June. In the summer months, enjoy fishing in one of the lakes,
mountain biking or hiking throughout the many trails, or paying a
visit to Bodie State Historic Park, a genuine gold mining ghost town.
FOREST
Mariposa Grove, located in the southernmost part of Yosemite
National Park, is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park,
with several hundred mature trees. Two of the trees are among
the 30 largest Giant Sequoias in the world. The oldest tree in the
grove is named Grizzly Giant and is somewhere between 1900- and
2400-years-old. The Mariposa Grove Museum is accessible only by
foot, or by the one-hour tram tour of the Grove (open May through
September).
OCEAN
Located in Monterey County at the north end of Big Sur, Point Lobos
State Natural Reserve includes headlands, coves, rolling meadows
and great views of the sea. The rich, offshore habitat is popular
with divers. Tour the Whaler’s Cabin Museum or look for seals, sea lions, sea
otters, seabirds and migrating gray whales (December to May).
Huntington Beach, aka “Surf City” thanks to its consistent, year-round swells,
is the quintessential Southern California beach town. If you’re not up for riding
the waves, you can check out the surfers along miles of sandy beach. The U.S.
Open of Surfing takes place in the summer. At the International Surfing Museum
downtown you can learn all about the history of the sport.
The signs in Malibu boast the city’s “27 miles of scenic beauty.” With breathtaking
beaches like Surfrider, Point Dume and Leo Carrillo State Beach and Park, you’ll
understand why. Take in some culture after your beachcombing with a visit to the
Getty Villa; its renowned collection of Greek and Roman antiquities is housed in a
replica of an actual villa.

HIKING
The California Coastal Trail is a network of public trails
for walkers, bikers, equestrians and wheelchair riders that
covers 1,200 miles of California coastline. The trail is almost
complete and will ultimately extend all the way from Oregon
to Mexico! Visit coastwalk.org for more information.
BIRD WATCHING
Bring along your binoculars, field guide and birding checklist.
California is home to 641 recorded bird species, with many living in
protected habitat areas. Find a birding club to get more information
on where to spot year-round dwellers or to find out when migrating
species are passing through.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
No matter your experience or skill level, there are mountain bike trails
throughout California’s parks that promise fun and adventure. Some are
challenging, single-track trails that wind through the mountains, while others
are more gentle double-track trails suited to families or beginners.
GEOCACHING
Many California parks offer this fun, treasure-hunting activity in which hidden containers,
known as geocaches, are found using a hand-held GPS for navigation. Check online sources
for locations and regulations.
FISHING
Whether you prefer fly fishing in a mountain river or stream, fishing from a boat on a lake,
ocean fishing or casting from shore, California has the perfect spot. Always inquire at each
location about fishing licenses and other regulations.
BOATING
Many parks offer boat ramp access, boat campsites and other
amenities for sailing and paddling. Check the grid on the
reverse side of this map to see which state parks offer these
facilities. Always remember to wear a lifejacket.
CAMPING
California has a camping location to suit every taste, from beach to
mountain, from desert to forest. Accommodations run the gamut too,
from primitive sites with no amenites, to rustic cabin rentals, and everything in
between. Visit reserveamerica.com for location listings.
OHV
California’s extensive Off-Highway Vehicle trails can accomodate ATVs, dirt bikes, sand rails,
recreational utility vehicles, go carts, jeeps and 4x4s. Some have obstacle course areas
and professionally-designed motocross tracks. For locations, permits and other important
information, visit ohv.parks.ca.gov.
FUN STATE FACTS
• Sequoia National Park is home to the largest living tree. Its trunk is 102 feet in
	circumference!
• There are approximately 500,000 detectable seismic tremors in California annually.
• The state motto is “Eureka!”, a Greek word that translates as “I have found it!” The motto
	 was adopted in 1840 and relates to the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada.
• The first motion picture theater opened in Los Angeles on April 2, 1902.
• Death Valley is the lowest, hottest and driest place in the United States. An air temperature 		
	 of 134° F, recorded in 1913, remains a record.
• The first official surfing contest took place at Corona Del Mar 1928.
• In 1922, beach volleyball was first played in Santa Monica.
DESERT
Joshua Tree National Park, at almost 800,000 acres, is formed by
the union of two deserts: The Colorado Desert (low) in the eastern
half of the park and the Mojave (high) in the western half. The park
is named for the unusual tree that grows there, which serves as an
important source of food and shelter for birds, mammals, reptiles
and insects. Ancient rock formations throughout the park provide
great climbing opportunities for both experts and novices. Hiking,
camping and stargazing are other popular activities here.
MOUNTAIN
Mammoth Mountain, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, reaches
a height of 11,059 feet. The ski resort has 3,500 acres of skiable
terrain and one of the longest ski seasons, which runs from November
to June. In the summer months, enjoy fishing in one of the lakes,
mountain biking or hiking throughout the many trails, or paying a
visit to Bodie State Historic Park, a genuine gold mining ghost town.
FOREST
Mariposa Grove, located in the southernmost part of Yosemite
National Park, is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park,
with several hundred mature trees. Two of the trees are among
the 30 largest Giant Sequoias in the world. The oldest tree in the
grove is named Grizzly Giant and is somewhere between 1900- and
2400-years-old. The Mariposa Grove Museum is accessible only by
foot, or by the one-hour tram tour of the Grove (open May through
September).
OCEAN
Located in Monterey County at the north end of Big Sur, Point Lobos
State Natural Reserve includes headlands, coves, rolling meadows
and great views of the sea. The rich, offshore habitat is popular
with divers. Tour the Whaler’s Cabin Museum or look for seals, sea lions, sea
otters, seabirds and migrating gray whales (December to May).
Huntington Beach, aka “Surf City” thanks to its consistent, year-round swells,
is the quintessential Southern California beach town. If you’re not up for riding
the waves, you can check out the surfers along miles of sandy beach. The U.S.
Open of Surfing takes place in the summer. At the International Surfing Museum
downtown you can learn all about the history of the sport.
The signs in Malibu boast the city’s “27 miles of scenic beauty.” With breathtaking
beaches like Surfrider, Point Dume and Leo Carrillo State Beach and Park, you’ll
understand why. Take in some culture after your beachcombing with a visit to the
Getty Villa; its renowned collection of Greek and Roman antiquities is housed in a
replica of an actual villa.

EXPLORETHEGOLDENSTATE!
We thank our sponsors for their generous
support in producing this map.
KEEP IT CLEAN: A garbage bag will prevent clutter from accumulating at your
feet. Keep wipes and paper towels handy for those inevitable spills and messes.
Create zones in the car to keep things organized and easy to find.
STAY HEALTHY: Keep a cooler filled with ice, water and fresh food, or stop at a
local farmer’s market so you don’t rely on fast food. Get out of the car and do
some physical exercise every day.
MAP IT OUT: Record your journey on an atlas or map. This is a great way for kids
to learn an important skill and GPS isn’t always available!
WISH YOU WERE HERE: Write a blog from the road or post travel updates on
social media to share this special experience with your friends and family.
...ON THE ROAD
COVER UP: Make sure your auto insurance and
registration are up-to-date. Visit geico.com for a free
quote and to enroll in their Emergency Road Service plan.
BEFORE YOU GO...
STAY IN TUNE: Take your car for a thorough
check-up and make sure everything is in working order.
THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT! Numerous apps designed for
the 21st-century road trip can help you save money on gas
(Gas Buddy), avoid traffic and tolls (iExit), teach you how to
fix a flat tire (Breakdown Lane) and find the best local
attractions and restaurants (Roadside America).
THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT: Burn DVDs with music, comedy,
podcasts and books so you don’t use up the power on your
electronic devices. Subscribe to a satellite radio station for
even more choices.

EXPLORETHEGOLDENSTATE!
We thank our sponsors for their generous
support in producing this map.
KEEP IT CLEAN: A garbage bag will prevent clutter from accumulating at your
feet. Keep wipes and paper towels handy for those inevitable spills and messes.
Create zones in the car to keep things organized and easy to find.
STAY HEALTHY: Keep a cooler filled with ice, water and fresh food, or stop at a
local farmer’s market so you don’t rely on fast food. Get out of the car and do
some physical exercise every day.
MAP IT OUT: Record your journey on an atlas or map. This is a great way for kids
to learn an important skill and GPS isn’t always available!
WISH YOU WERE HERE: Write a blog from the road or post travel updates on
social media to share this special experience with your friends and family.
...ON THE ROAD
COVER UP: Make sure your auto insurance and
registration are up-to-date. Visit geico.com for a free
quote and to enroll in their Emergency Road Service plan.
BEFORE YOU GO...
STAY IN TUNE: Take your car for a thorough
check-up and make sure everything is in working order.
THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT! Numerous apps designed for
the 21st-century road trip can help you save money on gas
(Gas Buddy), avoid traffic and tolls (iExit), teach you how to
fix a flat tire (Breakdown Lane) and find the best local
attractions and restaurants (Roadside America).
THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT: Burn DVDs with music, comedy,
podcasts and books so you don’t use up the power on your
electronic devices. Subscribe to a satellite radio station for
even more choices.

We encourage you to practice Leave No Trace
when visiting your park or any outdoor trail
or area. It is easy to do and allows others to
enjoy the park, including animals that call
it home.
THE LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES ARE:
• Plan Ahead and Prepare
• Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
• Dispose of Waste Properly
• Leave What You Find
• Minimize Campfire Impacts
• Respect Wildlife
• Be Considerate of
Other Visitors

HIKING
The California Coastal Trail is a network of public trails
for walkers, bikers, equestrians and wheelchair riders that
covers 1,200 miles of California coastline. The trail is almost
complete and will ultimately extend all the way from Oregon
to Mexico! Visit coastwalk.org for more information.
BIRD WATCHING
Bring along your binoculars, field guide and birding checklist.

on where to spot year-round dwellers or to find out when migrating
species are passing through.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
No matter your experience or skill level, there are mountain bike trails
throughout California’s parks that promise fun and adventure. Some are
challenging, single-track trails that wind through the mountains, while others
are more gentle double-track trails suited to families or beginners.
GEOCACHING
Many California parks offer this fun, treasure-hunting activity in which hidden containers,
known as geocaches, are found using a hand-held GPS for navigation. Check online sources
for locations and regulations.
FISHING
Whether you prefer fly fishing in a mountain river or stream, fishing from a boat on a lake,
ocean fishing or casting from shore, California has the perfect spot. Always inquire at each
location about fishing licenses and other regulations.
BOATING
Many parks offer boat ramp access, boat campsites and other
amenities for sailing and paddling. Check the grid on the
reverse side of this map to see which state parks offer these
facilities. Always remember to wear a lifejacket.
CAMPING
California has a camping location to suit every taste, from beach to
mountain, from desert to forest. Accommodations run the gamut too,
from primitive sites with no amenites, to rustic cabin rentals, and everything in
between. Visit reserveamerica.com for location listings.
OHV
California’s extensive Off-Highway Vehicle trails can accomodate ATVs, dirt bikes, sand rails,
recreational utility vehicles, go carts, jeeps and 4x4s. Some have obstacle course areas
and professionally-designed motocross tracks. For locations, permits and other important
information, visit ohv.parks.ca.gov.
FUN STATE FACTS
• Sequoia National Park is home to the largest living tree. Its trunk is 102 feet in
	circumference!
• There are approximately 500,000 detectable seismic tremors in California annually.
• The state motto is “Eureka!”, a Greek word that translates as “I have found it!” The motto
	 was adopted in 1840 and relates to the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada.
• The first motion picture theater opened in Los Angeles on April 2, 1902.
• Death Valley is the lowest, hottest and driest place in the United States. An air temperature 		
	 of 134° F, recorded in 1913, remains a record.
• The first official surfing contest took place at Corona Del Mar 1928.
• In 1922, beach volleyball was first played in Santa Monica.
DESERT
Joshua Tree National Park, at almost 800,000 acres, is formed by
the union of two deserts: The Colorado Desert (low) in the eastern
half of the park and the Mojave (high) in the western half. The park
is named for the unusual tree that grows there, which serves as an
important source of food and shelter for birds, mammals, reptiles
and insects. Ancient rock formations throughout the park provide
great climbing opportunities for both experts and novices. Hiking,
camping and stargazing are other popular activities here.
MOUNTAIN
Mammoth Mountain, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, reaches
a height of 11,059 feet. The ski resort has 3,500 acres of skiable
terrain and one of the longest ski seasons, which runs from November
to June. In the summer months, enjoy fishing in one of the lakes,
mountain biking or hiking throughout the many trails, or paying a
visit to Bodie State Historic Park, a genuine gold mining ghost town.
FOREST
Mariposa Grove, located in the southernmost part of Yosemite
National Park, is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park,
with several hundred mature trees. Two of the trees are among
the 30 largest Giant Sequoias in the world. The oldest tree in the
grove is named Grizzly Giant and is somewhere between 1900- and
2400-years-old. The Mariposa Grove Museum is accessible only by
foot, or by the one-hour tram tour of the Grove (open May through
September).
OCEAN
Located in Monterey County at the north end of Big Sur, Point Lobos
State Natural Reserve includes headlands, coves, rolling meadows
and great views of the sea. The rich, offshore habitat is popular
with divers. Tour the Whaler’s Cabin Museum or look for seals, sea lions, sea
otters, seabirds and migrating gray whales (December to May).
Huntington Beach, aka “Surf City” thanks to its consistent, year-round swells,
is the quintessential Southern California beach town. If you’re not up for riding
the waves, you can check out the surfers along miles of sandy beach. The U.S.
Open of Surfing takes place in the summer. At the International Surfing Museum
downtown you can learn all about the history of the sport.
The signs in Malibu boast the city’s “27 miles of scenic beauty.” With breathtaking
beaches like Surfrider, Point Dume and Leo Carrillo State Beach and Park, you’ll
understand why. Take in some culture after your beachcombing with a visit to the
Getty Villa; its renowned collection of Greek and Roman antiquities is housed in a
replica of an actual villa.

Its trunk is 102 feet in circumference! • There are approximately 500,000 detectable seismic tremors in California annually. • The state motto is “Eureka!”, a Greek word that translates as “I have found it!” The motto was adopted in 1840 and relates to the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada. • The first motion picture theater opened in Los Angeles on April 2, 1902. • Death Valley is the lowest, hottest and driest place in the United States. An air temperature of 134° F, recorded in 1913, remains a record. • The first official surfing contest took place at Corona Del Mar 1928. • In 1922, beach volleyball was first played in Santa Monica. DESERT Joshua Tree National Park, at almost 800,000 acres, is formed by the union of two deserts: The Colorado Desert (low) in the eastern half of the park and the Mojave (high) in the western half. The park is named for the unusual tree that grows there, which serves as an important source of food and shelter for birds, mammals, reptiles and insects. Ancient rock formations throughout the park provide great climbing opportunities for both experts and novices. Hiking, camping and stargazing are other popular activities here. MOUNTAIN Mammoth Mountain, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, reaches a height of 11,059 feet. The ski resort has 3,500 acres of skiable terrain and one of the longest ski seasons, which runs from November to June. In the summer months, enjoy fishing in one of the lakes, mountain biking or hiking throughout the many trails, or paying a visit to Bodie State Historic Park, a genuine gold mining ghost town. FOREST Mariposa Grove, located in the southernmost part of Yosemite National Park, is the largest grove of Giant Sequoias in the park, with several hundred mature trees. Two of the trees are among the 30 largest Giant Sequoias in the world. The oldest tree in the grove is named Grizzly Giant and is somewhere between 1900- and 2400-years-old. The Mariposa Grove Museum is accessible only by foot, or by the one-hour tram tour of the Grove (open May through September).

The rich, offshore habitat is popular with divers. Tour the Whaler’s Cabin Museum or look for seals, sea lions, sea otters, seabirds and migrating gray whales (December to May). Huntington Beach, aka “Surf City” thanks to its consistent, year-round swells, is the quintessential Southern California beach town. If you’re not up for riding the waves, you can check out the surfers along miles of sandy beach. The U.S. Open of Surfing takes place in the summer. At the International Surfing Museum downtown you can learn all about the history of the sport. The signs in Malibu boast the city’s “27 miles of scenic beauty.” With breathtaking beaches like Surfrider, Point Dume and Leo Carrillo State Beach and Park, you’ll understand why.
