Explore Southern California’s National Parks in a Rental Car

The official first day of fall is right around the corner, which means all of the glorious colors of foliage will soon be on full display. This is the perfect time of the year to rent a car and explore the best that Southern California offers. Greenleaf Rent A Car offers fuel-efficient vehicle rental options so you can travel around in an earth-friendly car while appreciating some of Earth’s natural wonders. Make your vehicle reservation and visit one (or all) of these national parks in Southern California this fall.

Joshua Tree National Park

Sitting on 800,000 acres, Joshua Tree National Park is a retreat for hikers and rock climbers alike. You can enjoy the unique rock formations or gaze up at the stars while exploring this true desert wilderness. Make sure to snap some photos of the beautiful scenery!

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

To view a stunning expanse of the largest trees in the world, you will want to visit Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. Between the mountains, foothills, canyons, caverns, and, of course, the colossal trees, these parks will deliver a memorable hiking experience.

Channel Islands National Park

This national park is actually comprised of five islands off the coast of Southern California. You can experience the Channel Islands and their ocean environment by participating in hiking, wildlife observation, kayaking, snorkeling, and more.

Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area

Often described as hidden in plain sight, this park offers a wilderness escape right outside of the city. You can explore the historical and cultural sites of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area or take in the scenic coastal views from the many hiking trails.
