We have a few camping trips, as well as a couple new Day Hikes to write about : Ohlone Wilderness Trail to Murietta Falls, Elderado National Forest, Desolation Wilderness, Mendocino Coast, to name a few. We are even more behind than usual, because like something out of a comedy, I slow motion slid into a…
I am a huge fan of this trail and project, I only have about 100 miles done so far, but plan to get to all 550 one day when it is done. Often times when I’m hiking, I do think about the people who make and maintain the trails, why a particular path was chosen,…
Great chance to get out there and check out a new park if the fee was holding you back before! Here are the places on this list that allow dogs on some trails, a few allow dogs on all trails. Some that I searched on the linked article didn’t say anything about dogs. Henry Cowell…
If you live in Northern California, the Toxic algae is also found in streams and rivers, and not always marked. This isn’t just a NorCal thing either, while on our road trip we found warning signs in Wisconsin and South Dakota at a couple small public lakes. I just don’t allow Chico in anything but…
And I have been working non stop. I do plan on writing about the trip, reviewing campgrounds, a how to for reserving or choosing an actual campground, safety, and reviewing all our budget gear–which worked out great! Until then, we have made a few short posts to our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/hikingwithchico ! Happy Trails!
The first leg of our trip. We made a short pitstop in Reno to see my old buddy Steve. He works in an awesome place with trails right behind his office, so we took a short hike and saw a scary huge spider! Our first scheduled night of camping was in Wendover, Nevada. This place…
This is a last minute trip, and we’re doing it on a budget! 12-13 days to and from The Midwest/California. Our Coleman Green Valley Sleeping Bag arrived today, it is a 30 degree bag and has high reviews on Amazon. I chose it because I wanted a a cotton flannel lining, and I don’t think…
I have to admit, at the time I was there, I didn’t really like it , and thought it would be a great place for my friends to shoot one of their short horror films. But looking back at the photos, it did have it’s own beauty. The Herrier Loop Trail is only 1.1, and when…
We just fostered our first Dog, well actually, 8 month old puppy. It was only for one night, but it was quite the insight, as I have been thinking about getting a companion for Chico. My friend found the lost puppy, and needed an emergency place for “buddy” for only a night, as a foster…
**Foxtail PSA** If you live in The Bay area Foxtails are out of control more than ever, and they are turning brown earlier because of the drought. They are everywhere, not just on the trails, but neighborhoods, and dog parks too. Many people I’ve talked to while hiking have no idea about these buggers. When…
