Well, if we're talking about parks that aren't of the Yosemite variety, I think I'll have to go with beaches. I'm not really the kind of person who is into lying on the beach and whatnot, but there's something about looking out at the vastness of the ocean that can be such a powerful experience.

I agree. I remember the first time I was in California, I was 7 years old, and my parents took me down to Manhattan Beach early one morning. I remember standing on the beach with my dad, holding his hand, and we had our feet in the water as we stared out into the Pacific. My mom stood behind us and snapped a picture. As a 7 year old kid who had never seen the ocean before that moment, it was definitely the highlight of my summer. I think back on it now and remember it as a moving experience.
