Golden State Road Trips
Malakoff State Park
First in a Series –
California, also known as the Golden State, is brimming with places to go and things to do. Also known as the Golden State due to the discovery of gold in 1829, a rich history of sometimes oddly named mining towns remains. Some have survived and are still alive with people and businesses while others have disappeared.
Fewer have become enshrined as state parks.
Welcome to Malakoff State Park, located a forested 26 miles from Grass Valley. While the drive from there takes 45 minutes or more, it forces you to slow down to a more relaxed pace – and a step back in time.

Cyndy Green has been intrigued by news since she got a toy printing press as a six year old. She switched to visual story telling at the age of 12 with her first still camera and moved to broadcasting after an internship in 1974. After 28 years in broadcast news and another 8 teaching broadcasting, she still can’t live without a camera in hand and an editing computer nearby, so in retirement she continues creating visual stories.
