In the sun-kissed state of California, where palm trees sway to the beat of ocean waves and the mountains stand tall and mighty, there exists a special group of kids who are anything but ordinary. These are the 'Horseback Heroes', a troop of adventure-loving, horse-riding kids whose tales of fun and bravery would make even the mightiest cowboy tip his hat! Leading this pack of cowkids is a hilarious character who goes by the name of 'Cowboy Cal'. Cal, with his freckled face, sun-bleached hair, and twinkling blue eyes, is as Californian as the golden sunshine itself. But don’t let his fluffy hair and shiny braces fool you - when he dons his cowboy hat and mounts his trusty steed, ‘Sir Neigh-a-lot’, he's as dashing and gallant as any hero from an old western movie. Cowboy Cal and the rest of the Horseback Heroes spend their days galloping along the golden beaches, racing through the lush vineyards, and exploring the mighty Yosemite valleys. Every day is a wild, winding adventure. And just when you think they might be too tired to continue, they break out into laughter, make funny faces (that only a mother could love), and start a new journey anew. With their unwavering spirit, contagious laughter, and their loyal horses, these kids paint a picture of California that's as vibrant as a Hollywood movie and as warm as freshly baked apple pie. So saddle up, and giddy up, kids! The Horseback Heroes of California are here to whisk you away on an unforgettable ride!

It all began in the late 1930s when this area was part of a booming resort community boasting bathing spas and a fun-filled amusement park. Then, during and just after World War II, the U.S. Maritime Service Officers School, used to train Merchant Marine commanders, was stationed here. The Visitor Center, now standing tall, was the infirmary of the base. Take a stroll down the “Memory Lane” self-guided trail and learn about the history of this place – from the California Indians who lived here first, to the Victorian era and military past. Download the guide to your phone, or pick up a brochure in the Visitor Center itself.
