  Quite a unique place somewhat off the beaten path. Visitor's center and areas are well maintained and done.

  Really neat national park. My favorite are the petrified redwoods. Great walking trails through a high mountain meadow. Don't bring the dog though. They are not allowed on the trails except for the designated area.
