CLEAR LAKE STATE PARK – Ancient geological forces have shaped Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks into incredible landscapes. Want to see the hoodoos of Bryce, and see the beauty of Zion as scribed through the ages by the sea, broad rivers and desert winds?
Visit these incredible National Parks at 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17, in the Visitor Center Auditorium, as the park continues its film series on the West's national parks.
Bryce Canyon National Park consists of 37,277 acres of scenic colorful rock formations and desert wonderland.
With winter temperatures dropping to single digits, the summers warm to the high 90s and being a desert climate, precipitation averages only 18 inches.
The rock formations exposed in Bryce Canyon began in the Cretaceous Period some 144 million years ago. Bryce Canyon National Park is in a desert climatic area.
Zion National Park is 146,560 acres with elevations from 3,700 feet to 8,726 feet. There are more than 285 species of birds recorded in the area. A species in common with Lake County is the great blue heron. Some of the animal species they share with Lake County are the ringtail, gray fox, skunk and mountain lion.
Although these national parks are very different in geologic history from Lake County, we can always find some similarities.
To give park visitors more opportunity to attend programs and view the museum, the Interpretive Association is opening the Visitor Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Saturday through October. The museum is one of Lake County’s great treasures of natural history.
At this time, there is no entrance fee to Clear Lake State Park for participating in walks, programs or visiting the museum.
The Visitor Center staff is always interested in learning visitors’ reaction to programs and what programs they would be interested in seeing in the future.

Clear Lake State Park is located at 5300 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville.
