Over the last forty years, the California State Parks Foundation along with its 100,000 members has grown into a powerhouse advocacy group on behalf of keeping nature available to us. Now in their 40th year, they are celebrating by producing 40 short podcasts, each with a resident sharing their favorite trail. It all began yesterday with none other than rocker Sammy Hagar who is a fan of the old railroad grade trail going up Mount Tamalpais State Park in Marin County. "You can see the ocean, you can see the city, you can see the bay and just everything. It's gorgeous," he said. The full audio, produced with the help of the locally based LAPodSquad, is here:
If you have a favorite trail in a state park (we're personally big fans of Malibu Creek), you can submit your story and maybe it will become a podcast.
