With the Regional Stay at Home Order lifted for all regions in the state, below is an update on accessing the State Park System: ✔ Campground sites are reopening for existing reservation holders. ✔ Other state campground sites will be reopened for new reservations using a phased approach starting January 28. Half Moon Bay State Beach will be open for first come, first served camping on January 30. Santa Cruz area campgrounds to open soon, pending winter storm clean-up. ✔ Not all campground sites are open to the public due to the pandemic, wildfire impacts and other issues. ✔ Group campsites remain closed. ✔ Day use outdoor areas of park units currently open to the public remain open. It is critical that Californians continue to recreate responsibly in the outdoors as the pandemic is far from over -- stay local, plan ahead to find out what is open, wear a face covering, practice physical distancing and avoid gatherings with people outside the immediate household.

As we continue celebrating Native American Heritage Month, this week we want to spotlight a very important person in our local history. Maria Ascensión Solórsano (1855-1930) is an ancestor of members of the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band (comprised of tribal families with historic ties to Missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista). She was a healer, collector of tribal lore and traditions, and the last fluent speaker of the Mutsun language. Ethnographer John Peabody Harrington recorded many of her stories and the Mutsun language over the last years of her life. The Amah Mutsun are now drawing on her stories and teachings to re-learn the Mutsun language and to introduce her wisdom to a new generation of tribal members. Without Ascencion’s dedicated efforts to preserving Amah Mutsun culture, much tribal knowledge would have been lost. The Amah Mutsun revere her memory as a guiding force during a critical time in their history. To recognize her social contributions, she was inducted into the Gilroy Hall of Fame in 1995 and Ascención Solóranso Middle School in Gilroy was named in her honor in 2003. To learn more about the Amah Mutsun and their history, visit www.amahmutsun.org. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NAHM #castateparks #portolaandcastlerockfoundation
