Train town in the mountains - NorCal. rivers, fishing, camping, gorgeous forests. Downtown has few shop and cafes. A nice city park w/ swimming and convenient public restrooms, but you'll need to cross the bridge to find 'em. PORTOLA PARK: Looking for Portola Redwood Park near the Santa Cruz coast?
