National Parks

California is the U.S. state with the most national parks within its borders. It is home to some of the most famous parks in the country, such as the legendary Yosemite National Park, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, as well as desert parks like Joshua Tree and Death Valley. Touring California’s national parks is often part of a broader trip that includes visits to the state’s major cities. Most of these parks are located a short drive from California’s urban centers or from Las Vegas, Nevada.
