作为美国人口最多的州,加州拥有

1. 美国本土最高的山 -- Mount Whitney。加州州内有一万英尺以上的高峰达42座,要登高望远,随便挑。

2. 加州拥有,Wait for it,世界陆地最低点,死谷。对,就是那个热得要死(据说录得最高气温)的地方,不过,早春花开,不要太美丽了(当然,你的运气要好嘻嘻)。

3. 加州拥有全美最多的国家公园,多达九个。从上面提到的死谷国家公园,到优山美地,红树林国家公园,甚至还有一个Channel Islands国家公园包罗万象,应有尽有。

Yosemite???s high country, including Tenaya Peak and Clouds Rest, is a breath of fresh air and a sure escape from the crowds at Half Dome. To reach Clouds Rest, often called the "younger brother" of Half Dome, begin at the Tenaya Lake trailhead and keep climbing past massive boulders and a handful of freshwater lakes until you reach the peak. With views of El Capitan, Half Dome and Tuolumne Meadows, it's evident where Clouds Rest gets its whimsical moniker. Photo: Handout

优山美地

Channel Islands National ParkJust off the coast of Ventura lies Channel Islands National Park, a chain of eight islands accessible only by boat. Visitors are treated to a time warp of California's flora and fauna on this chain of eight, largely untouched islands." Photo: MICHAEL MACOR

Channel Islands

Lassen Volcanic National ParkThough Yellowstone is arguably the best-known national park for steaming hydrothermal features, California is home to its own fiery park ??? Lassen Volcanic. The park's jagged peaks hint at its volcanic past, while boiling pools and pits of steaming water continue to enchant visitors and shape the rocky, wildflower-dotted landscape.?  Photo: National Parks Service

The Libbey Tree pales in height when compared to the current reigning tallest tree in the world. That title goes to Hyperion, discovered by amateur naturalists Chris Atkins and Michael Taylor, which measures more than 380 feet high. Photo: Getty Images/Westend61

红木国家公园

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National ParkSequoia is spectacular whether traversed by foot, car or horseback. Massive trees look tiny compared to the park's craggy peaks and granite domes. If you can take your eyes of the green giants and the towering rocks and look down, you'll find rushing rivers and easily accessible marble caverns.?  Photo: Visalia Times-Delta File, Associated Press
