Father’s Day in a California State Park

Skip the ties and coffee mugs this Father’s Day and give your dad something he’ll really enjoy: a Sunday in a California State Park. There are dozens of events statewide this Sunday, so you’re sure to find something to fit your family’s interests. Here are just a couple:

Big Basin Redwoods State Park: Father’s Day Walk  Celebrate Father’s Day by honoring some of the remarkable men who lived in, worked in, and fought for Big Basin. Living history re-enactments bring you back in time where you’ll meet pioneer settlers, Big Basin founders and early park rangers  Stroll through the majestic old-growth redwoods on this half-mile, 1.5 hour guided walk. Wheelchair and stroller accessible. Meet at Park Headquarters.Call (831) 338-8860 for more information.

California State Railroad Museum: Diesels & Dads   Treat dad to some rail-related “eye candy” when seven rarely-seen diesel locomotives from the museum’s impressive collection will be on special display for one day only. Dad will enjoy taking a memorable and relaxing weekend excursion train ride that is reminiscent of train travel from an earlier era. Those aboard are treated to a six-mile, 40-minute roundtrip excursion along the levees of the Sacramento River. Same-day general admission weekend excursion train ride tickets are available in-person on a first-come, first serve basis starting at 10:30 a.m.at the Sacramento Southern Railroad ticket office. Tickets to ride the first-class El Dorado are available to book online in advance at www.californiastaterailroadmuseum.org

  1. I was wanting to know if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? It is well written; I really like what you have got to say. But maybe you could include a a bit more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. You have got a great deal of text for only having one or two photographs. Maybe you can space it out better?

    • Thanks for the feedback! We’re always looking for ways to incorporate more images, but time and resources don’t always coincide. We’ll make that a goal in the future. Thanks!

  2. great post
