Meh Top 50? This app is a start, but by no means very helpful. Good info, but lacks tons of parks. If its only the top 50, narrow it down by no./so. Cal. So. Cal parks are of no use to me right now..

Good but can be bettet I like the different trail maps available for download. But an option to download the entire topo for the park would make it 5 stars.

Great App As a visitor to southern California this summer, this app was perfect. I could be driving down a road, decide I wanted to take a break from driving, and look for the nearest parks with pictures and trail descriptions. Highly recommended.

Crashes on Samsung Galaxy Nexus The app currently crashes when viewing the list of trails effectively making the app worthless at least on my phone (Galaxy Nexus). Submitted error report.

Ok, not enough parks Not enough parks, limited trails. Most of the parks are in southern CA. Please add more parks. Watch out on data load for the related park pics.

This app is awesome! The only flaw is not every state park is on there. It would be great to have links to photo albums of the parks as well.
