Wilderness is the best thing and the endless layers of conservation organizations in California are great (regional parks, state parks, national parks, BLM, national forests, etc) Pinnacles National Park is pretty cool (except really hot in the summer) and small; technically new after its recent upgrade to full park status, and way less crowded than most parks. There are talus caves too (they were flooded out when I went  )  Also they have these great bastards hanging out there  Lava Beds up north is good too; can go crawl around some lava tubes and an ice cave    Calaveras Big Trees SP will let you see some giant sequoias without having to go down to Sequoia NP areas  Point Reyes National Seashore also great    Even as crowded as Lake Tahoe gets its pretty nice on the south side

The trick is to go out of season, on weekdays, and/or not go to the 4 anyone actually remembers Also hike out more than a couple miles and most people will disappear

Did they finally get that all cleaned up and reopened? This winter was a washout/widowmaker nightmare
