What it is: I just posted this hike. But seeing as how this has become our Sunday ritual, I had to post again because we were gifted an AMAZING version of this hike thanks to an intense storm that dumped snow down to nearly 2,000 feet! The trail looked completely new (despite the many, many times we’ve done this hike) and very wonderland-ish. We were stunned, and thrilled, and so were the dogs. However, after lots of bushwhacking fallen trees, the novelty wore off. Nonetheless, it was a magical day, and brought about much more inspiration than usual.
Please DO: This hike after a gnarly early spring storm.
Please DON’T: Wear shoes that aren’t waterproof if you do this after said storm.
What you need to bring: Waterproof boots, and probably a saw to cut down the millions of trees that give way under the heavy snow.
What you want to bring: A camera.
How to get there: Take the 210 and exit Lake Ave. Go left on Lake and take it all the way until it ends. Park here. Head up the obvious trail at the end of the street.
