Arches
The quickest geology lesson for a child and an adult alike can be learned right here. The arches are in various stages of formation ageing between 100s of years to 10s of 1000s giving us a glimpse into entire geological life cycle in one small region. Travel recommendation: Please take the time to visit visitor centers in all NPs. There is wealth of knowledge than changes your perception no matter your level of previous learning. |
Catalina Island
There are few better snorkel friendly habitats in the world so close to a large urban sprawl like Los Angeles. This is not a NP but included for its rich bio diversity and outdoor adventure. Downhill biking along sheer cliffs overlooking the beautiful marina is a surreal experience. Fun fact: There is some steep uphill biking before downhill biking:) |
