The Great California National Parks

California is a place known for its crazy city life, Hollywood, acting, and all of its remarkable actors and actresses that live there. Even though California is an amazing state that never sleeps many people take some of the natural beauties of the state for granted. The forests in California are mostly taken for granted. There are many forests and National Parks but the most, but some of the most beautiful of these is Yosemite National Park and Redwood National Park.

The Yosemite National Park is one of the most beautiful places. There are several rock formations such as, El Capitan and Half Dome. These natural rock formations are absolutely breath-taking. Since Yosemite is a tourist attraction many people attempt to rock climb the rocks or hike up to the top. Some of the commonly seen animals in Yosemite are the black bears that steal peoples food,  raccoons that are very mischievous and find ways to get into peoples cabins, and deer which are very calm and don’t bother anyone. There are many types of trees there as well. Some of the most common are the Valley Oak, Douglas Fir, California Black Oak, and the Giant Sequoia. Yosemite is a wonderful and mesmerizing place.

Another natural beauty is the Redwood National Park. This National park is known for there giant Redwood trees. This park is 75,452 acres of mostly forest. The Redwood trees that this park is famous for can grow up to around 379 feet tall. Animals that live in the Redwood forest are bobcats that are very aggressive, northern spotted owls which can fly downwards very fast and snatch someones lunch, and little salamanders which crawl around looking for food. The Redwood National Park is a very pretty place with a ton of vastly large forests.

All in all National Parks in California are amazing sites that are great to have a camping trip in or to just visit and hike. The city of Los Angeles and going to Hollywood are very important to visit for some people, but the National Parks are just as spectacular as all the lights that light up Los Angeles. Overall California’s National Parks are pretty, incredible, and a nature filled adventure.
