P.G. Mayor Nick Smith appears headed for a win; an incumbent and a newcomer lead for council.

About 50 people are gathered in the courtyard of the Kimpton Mirador Hotel in downtown Pacific Grove just after 8pm on Tuesday, Nov 3, sipping wine, munching on French fries and charcuterie while waiting for local election results. Although they are there to support Mayor Nick Smith, running for a second term against former councilmember Luke Coletti in a non-partisan race, they are in a good mood as more Democrats nationally were reported to win seats in the House and Senate.

Outside San Jose Is A California Paradise With Redwoods, Mountain Trails, And Scenic Camping

While California has a record-topping nine national parks and 280 state parks, the Golden State's love for protecting its wild and natural spaces doesn't end there. Counties at the regional level take wilderness preservation seriously, too. This means even those in large metropolitan areas can find scenic parks and outdoorsy joys nearby. Urbanites in San Jose, for example, can drive about 30 to 40 minutes and find themselves on the redwood-covered slopes of Sanborn County Park. Tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this sprawling 3,453-acre paradise is an idyllic retreat where you can hike or bike among towering conifers and then camp beneath their splendor.
