Parks Directory of the United States / State Parks / California

Location: 1 mile north of Caspar on Highway 1.
Facilities: Picnic areas, hiking and nature trails.
Activities: Hiking, picnicking, scuba diving.
Special Features: Reserve's "ecological staircase" offers a firsthand look at 500,000 years of California's geological history. A 2.5-mile self-guiding nature trail leads through five wave-cut terraces formed by glacier, sea, and tectonic activity that built the coast range. Each of the terraces was uplifted from sea level about 100,000 years before the one below it. The lowest terrace still battles ocean waves, the third terrace has a unique pygmy forest, and terraces above display more advanced vegetation.
