There are slot canyons (think 127 Hours), badlands and breathtaking wildflower blooms if you go during the right season, i.e., right now! I have never witnessed the wildflowers but I have heard incredible reviews and seen photos that look unreal.
There also may have been a stop at an Irish bar off the highway (not so sure about the Irish part, but they were playing Irish music and called it Irish night). The following day consisted of a dip in the nearby hot spring, chats with the locals who built the hot spring 30 years ago and a few hour drive to the outskirts of the park. My faithful driver, who didn’t nap the entire way, might think otherwise. We didn’t make it all the way to the state park on Friday night but the five hour drive to Kern County was not all that bad. on Friday rolled around, and I threw my already packed bags (this, a rarity a proud moment indeed) into the car.

It’s the best-kept secret that I have discovered recently and I am writing about it in a printed AND online publication-what’s wrong with me? Apparently I really have faith that you Submerge followers are some down-to-earth, cool fucking people.
