We found this site to be tremendously helpful while visiting San Luis Obispo. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with all of these details and photos! Your site really did make our trip so much more fun.
Any chance you’ll be adding any hikes in eastern Nor Cal – Mt. Shasta, Lassen Volcanic NP, Lake Tahoe, etc?
Hi,
There are now several trails around Mount Shasta in the Northern California section (and hopefully more soon).
So cool that you’ve done all 600 of these hikes!! Total inspiration to all of us. Thank you for sharing all of these experiences.
I’m about to hike the Thousand Island Lake Loop for my 44th birthday. Thanks for the great documentation of mileages, elevations, sights, etc…it’s very well done and definitely got me excited to do this hike. First time I’m spending 2 nights backcountry…hope my old legs hold up!
