Big Basin Redwoods State Park, devastated six years ago by the CZU Lightning Complex fires, has been voted the best park in California for hiking, according to the California State Parks Foundation.
Big Basin, California’s oldest state park, now has more than 20 miles of open trails, including fire roads.
Popular hikes include: the 0.6-mile Redwood Loop; the half-mile Opal Creek Loop; and the 4.15-mile Ocean View Summit Loop, among others.
Awards in other categories include: Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park for best camping, Point Lobos State Natural Reserve for best day trips, and Half Moon Bay State Beach for best state beach.
