Hop in your car and head out to these natural destinations. 1. Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park This park is located on the ancestral lands of the Yokuts and is home to Allensworth, "the town that refused to die."

While the town did not last in the long term, the buildings and surrounding area are now preserved for site-seeing and camping. more 2. Tule Elk State Reserve This park is so named for the herd of tule elk it protects. Tule elk were once in danger of extinction until a local cattleman began efforts to protect them in 1874.
