Adventure awaits: Celebrate National Park Week at one of Southern California's 5 parks

Fun fact: Did you know California has the most national parks? Yeah, we got nine.

Another fun fact: One of the national parks in California is a group of islands, and you can get there from L.A. in a couple hours or so.

If you can't make it out, sorry. Below are some photos.

The National Park Service has themed days, including National Junior Ranger Day Saturday.
