I’ve never visited Providence Mountain, the first of the two State Parks Huell visits in this episode of California’s Gold, but I’ve been lucky enough to see the Indian Grinding Rock site. It’s a great day trip in a beautiful part of the Sierra foothills, and every time I watch this episode I want to go back and see it again!

Huell explores two of California’s most interesting State Parks: the Providence Mountain State Recreation Area, located in the Eastern Mojave Desert, to see the famous Mitchell Caverns Nature Reserve; and the Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park, in the Sierra Nevadas, where we see a Miwok Indians legacy in a vast rock covered with thousands of grinding pits.
