NHL - Coso Rock Art District


The Coso Rock Art District, a 
National Historic Landmark deep in the U.S. Navy's testing station at China Lake, contains one of America's most impressive petroglyphic and archeological complexes. The 20,000 images already documented surpass in number most other collections, and the archeological resources are remarkably undisturbed.




The pictures here were taken by my Dad during our years in China Lake, long before the area became a National Landmark.  I feel certain I saw some of these areas, but we left China Lake when I was six and I can't be sure.  I do remember day trips in caravans of Model As that probably were in search of the art works.

CSHP William B Ide


 

This was a stop on the way to Portland.....but then I lost the pictures so I stopped a second time.  It's a pretty area right along the river with some historic buildings a adjacent hiking paths...well worth going a few miles out of the way.

CSP - Richardson Grove




Located at the southern end of Humboldt County, Richardson Grove State Park is the home of 300 foot Redwoods.  Established in 1922, it is one of the oldest Redwood Parks in the system and in my view one of the prettiest that I've visited.  Be sure to take a walk on the nature trail if you visit.
