Anyone planning on vacationing in California this year?

From now through July 6, residents and tourists alike can download the California State Parks Historian Passport for free, allowing them access to more than 30 state historic parks across the state through the end of 2026. 

The pass typically costs $50 and allows unlimited entry for up to four people to state historic parks and museums that charge a per-person admission fee or a vehicle day-use fee. 

To download a free pass, visit ReserveCalifornia.com and click “Passes” in the upper main menu. From here, you’ll be prompted to either create a new account or log into your existing account. Once logged in, you can use the dropdown menu on the page to select “Special Edition Historian Passport 2026 - $0.00.” You can then check out with your pass and will quickly have it added to your list of passes within your account. 

I just did it.  Quick and easy.

Tom has gone on vacation for an unspecified period of time.

That is not a reason to hijack this thread asking why.

Hey Rob, thanks for this. 

Though, when I do visit, rarely anymore, I am more a west coast kind of Californian.. and looked and was sorry to see not many in my haunts listed.. so wasn’t as attracted to inventing a trip around the opportunity. But hey, if you ever get to the further reaches of Highway 1/101 there’s a kick ass stretch of coast.. say from Humboldt Bay up to Crescent City.. that one could get lost in a timeless adventure in.. with a few state parks, my fav being what was called when I was young Patrick Point State Park.. and is now Sue-meg State Park. That, the redwoods, and the beaches in the area.. are really an otherworldly experience.

Anyways.. thanks for the thoughts.. and encouragement.
