California National Parks
Every NPS unit in California — national parks, monuments, recreation areas, and preserves — with live alerts, entrance fees, and links to our trail reviews.
California is home to more National Park Service units than any other state — 34 in total, from the granite peaks of Yosemite to the coastal bluffs of Point Reyes. This page pulls live data directly from the National Park Service, so what you see reflects current alerts, entrance fees, and operating status.
Every park listed here links to the official NPS page. Where HikeATrail has trail reviews for that region, you will find a direct link to our coverage. Use the filters to find hiking parks, check for active alerts before you leave the house, or browse free-entry sites if you are planning a budget trip.
Data is refreshed regularly. Always verify conditions with the ranger district before heading out — especially in spring when snow closures and permit requirements change fast.
