Skipping Half Dome to go backpacking to Cloud's Rest in Yosemite
We went backpacking to Cloud's Rest in Yosemite, California in April of 2022. It was mid-spring when we hiked and ice was melting, giving us many running springs along the hike. Along the Mist Trail, the sound of the rushing water from the Merced River was therapeutic. We saw wildlife on the trail. Further up, the booming sound of Vernal Falls, it's size and power were overwhelming. The wind and mist from the cascading water got us completely wet. After Vernal Falls, we reached Liberty Cap and walked through a little patch of forest before reaching another cascading rush of water - Nevada Falls. The view from above Nevada Falls showed us Yosemite Valley. Then we hit John Muir Trail as we headed into little Yosemite Valley were we set-up camp for the night at Little Yosemite Campground. From here, it was a 5.5 mile hike to Cloud's Rest.
While more people flock to the more popular Half Dome, we think that the view from Cloud's rest is even more spectacular!

Hiking to the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley
มุมมอง 8672 ปีที่แล้ว
Hiking the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park is not like our usual mountain hike. There are no established trails due to the ever-shifting sands. There is no canyon to go through. There is no hiking elevation. The highest elevation on the sand dunes is 100 ft from the desert floor. It may seam like an easy hike. But walking on sand exposed to the elements does add a little ...
Hiking to the Natural Bridge in Death Valley National Park

We went on a short trip and hiked to the Natural Bridge in Death Valley National Park. We drove down Natural Bridge Road, a 1.5 mile, well maintained dirt road that leads you to a parking space at the trailhead. Going into the Natural Bridge Canyon, you get a glimpse of the rich geologic and historic past of this region. We hiked the Natural Bridge Trail in February and experienced temperatures...
Hiking to Switzer Falls via the Gabrielino Trail
มุมมอง 2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Hiking to Switzer Falls in the Los Angles Forest gave us a good view of the San Gabriel Mountains and a refreshing trek along the Arroyo Seco River. The trickling of the stream, birds chirping and wind howling were sounds that kept us company throughout the 4-mile loop hike via the Gabrielino Trail. When going to Switzer Falls Trailhead, make sure to drive all the way down to the parking lot by...
Getting to Sykes Hot Springs via Pine Ridge Trail

Solo hiking on Ice House Canyon Trail on Mt. Baldy in the Cucamonga Wilderness located in San Bernardino County, California in February. Soak up the mountain views and relax in the symphony of the birds chirping, the burbling water stream, the snow crunch and the whooshing wind breeze.

    It's very sad what this campground has become since the landslide. The management company that runs it has let it degrade almost to the point of no return. The forest service should definitely do something about it.

    There used to be 3 tubs but the rivers that went through Sykes washed out the 3rd biggest hot tub, it was right next to the river and was 4 feet deep, and 8 feet across, it was amazingly awesome. Thanks for showing how it looks now, I’ve not been since 2016, but it’s still looking as beautiful as ever, great video. Shalom

    I liked your vid. Many people do this hike solo. I did it in May of 1970 when I was about 25 with one other guy. I was in my 1967 VW Bug. I remember the trails were pretty good. The trip in was the toughest because of all the uphill. We got a late start and camped the first night a little over halfway in. We just slept out in our bags and I used my pack for a pillow. About 3am I felt some rustling and it was a raccoon with his paw inside my pack under my head tearing apart a ham sandwich I had wrapped in foil. He didn't get much. We had brought collapsible fishing poles and caught rainbow trout in the streams and Big Sur River near Sykes Camp as the streams and creeks were still flowing pretty good. I remember how much I liked day hiking all over the place with only my canteen. We stayed for about 3 days and the hot spring was really a nice gift to appreciate. It was flowing right out of the base of a big redwood tree like magic. Some solo and group ladies were there and everybody was in the buff but all friendly. We took some mushrooms we had with us in this very lovely, beautiful place. Now in my 70s, I don't think I could do that hike today. And, I'm sure it's overrun with hikers nowadays. But, I recommend it if you're up to it. One of my life's best remembrances.
