The California National Parks are great locations to visit and learn about the fantastic wildlife and natural wonders that exist in this great state. Many of our riders have taken up this challenge with camping gear on their bikes and have enjoyed visiting the sites on weekends throughout the year. All agree that they’ve learned a lot after visiting the National Parks and monuments located within California!

California is home to about 35 National Parks and the SCMA has selected 25 of those National Parks for the CA Adventure Series.  You are only required to visit 24 due to limited accessibility.  You are given the option of visiting Devil’s Postpile National Monument or Eugene O’Neill National Historic Site.

The Eugene O’Neil NHS consists principally of guided tours of the playwright’s former home. Visitors are not able to go directly to the home but must schedule a shuttle trip / tour with the NPS from the Museum of the San Ramon Valley.

The NPS does not keep to a fixed opening or closing calendar for the Devil’s Postpile National Monument. That calendar is driven by the weather. The Park generally opens sometime in June after the winter snows can be cleared but can close again, without notice, before the end of October.

To accommodate the partial schedule at these two parks, the California Adventure Series -National Parks requires the rider to obtain the Park stamp and photo certification from only one of these two parks. Satisfactory completion of this challenge then will have 24 validations; 23 of the other parks and then a 24th from either Devil’s Postpile NM OR the Eugene O’Neil NHS.

We highly suggest, before you visit any of the National Parks, that you look at each park’s website for additional information and call the visitor centers to confirm road condition and operating hours. That website can be found at www.NPS.gov

After reviewing and approving your submissions, we will return your passport to you and present you with a CA National Parks Tour plaque in recognition of your accomplishment.
