Wow, The California Hiking Map just turned 10! Anyone still putting pins in their map? In other news - I just started up a guided hike service in my hometown of Chico! If you haven't been to Upper Bidwell Park and would like to be shown around, Chico Beyond Adventure can help. 😁 Wildflowers are peaking soon, BTW!

More adventures will be appearing on the calendar throughout the year and we can do private group hikes as well. Chico is only 1.5 hours from the Sacramento Area and 3 hours from San Francisco. These hikes are THAT GOOD. Come on up!

Been quiet on this page but I'm definitely still hiking! Hope you are too. :) Anyone on Bluesky yet? https://bsky.app/profile/californiahiking.bsky.social

If you're in the Bay Area this weekend, I'll be selling prints of the Northern and Southern Editions of the California Hiking Map at the Telegraph Avenue Holiday Street Fair in Berkeley! Come say hi and share some hiking stories!

Another community in need after wildfires - and a few more stacks of the California Hiking Map left in my garage. That means 25% of all sales through November 2021 will go to the Almanor Foundation's Wildfire Relief Fund! I've been known to sneak an extra poster in every now and then too. :) This is just for the Northern and Southern CA Editions. www.californiahikingmap.com

Did you know that National Wildlife Refuges have trails too? There's a bunch of them! Find them here: https://www.fws.gov/refuges/trails/state.cfm?state=CA. Most are on the California Hiking Map as well. :)

Here it is! My full ranking of every County in California when it comes to hiking awesomeness. Tell me why I ranked your county waaaaay too low!

I hope this inspires you to get out and enjoy the great outdoors! Do tread lightly, respect the land & the people that care for it, and check for trail hazards & closures.
