Closing California Parks

The highlight of Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park is The Diggins, an area of beautiful cliffs exposed by miners as they washed away entire mountains in search of gold. What appears to be natural beauty is actually the result of rather destructive human behavior, but that does little to detract from the beauty of the warm glow of the cliffs in the late afternoon light.
