𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 🥾 ➖ Waking up at 4am to arrive at the trail at 6:30 IS always worth it, despite how sucky it seems. ➖ The one’s willing to do this with you without even knowing you, ARE the one’s who are the go-with-the-flow, find-joy-in-everything, just-happy-to-be-outdoors kinda people you were hoping for. ➖ Do a group intro and some kind of ice breaker to start conversations pre-hike. Also share any helpful tips about the hike (mine was about not approaching the cows and looking out for cow pies, being careful not to twist your ankle on the rocks, packing out our trash, and obv not picking or stomping through any flowers). ➖ Take breaks and continuously check in with your group (“Do we wanna keep going or are we ready for margaritas?”) ➖ Bring extra TP, sunscreen, and group snacks for everyone to share (will do this next time)! ➖ Make a little recap video or photo collage for fun memories. Also offer to take photo’s of them while on the hike. ➖ Organize a brunch or a sit-down event afterwards for those that would like to stick around and chat without gasping for air. This also allows you more time to get to know each hiker (and what their zodiac sign and food order says about them lol). ➖ Have everyone share their socials afterwards if they’d like to, and connect! What’d I miss? Put some more hosting tips in the comments! 🎒 📍: Kojomk’awi land Location : North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve (fee) 1st Photo Credit : @damoreuknow #northtablemountain #phantomfalls #oroville @woshgroup (at North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbno1t7vzBy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lost in Paradise (don’t send help). 💦 In March last year, Mike and I hiked North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve, surrounded by wildflowers (and halfway through our hike, a ZOO of a crowd and then the craziest parking chaos I’ve ever seen). A couple weekends ago, I took my friends @sarahsodysseys and @rebecca.wes.photo (a month before the busy wildflower season) and led us to the iconic Phantom Falls, passing Ravine Falls and pit stopping at Hollow Falls on our way out. This month still had some flowers, flowing water, and no crowds! 🌼 North Table Mountain is an area you should research before going. It requires a less than $5/person CDFW Land’s Pass to be purchased online before recreating, and trails are not clearly marked. It’s easy to get lost. It’s home to ancient lava flows so there’s a lot of loose rocky terrain. Over 15 waterfalls cover the reserve! This is such a stunning area and it’s quickly become one of my favorite NorCal hiking destinations. 🥾 I’ll be leading a group hike back here sometime in March to come back for more flowers! Who wants to chase waterfalls with us?! 📍: Kojomk’awi land #phantomfalls #northtablemountain #oroville #visitcalifornia (at North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZlfKVgrS0C/?utm_medium=tumblr

💦 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮 💦 Phantom Falls looks like it should be in Ireland or Iceland, but it’s actually in Oroville, CA. The North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve (where Phantom Falls is) was created by ancient lava flows and has over 15 seasonal waterfalls, tons of spring wildflowers, and a rare type of vernal pool. Save this post if you wanna hike here! 𝙎𝙤 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝘿𝙤 𝙄 𝙂𝙚𝙩 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 : After you’ve purchased your pass (more on that later), head to the parking lot area near 2488 Cherokee Rd. 𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙏𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙏𝙤 𝙂𝙤 : SPRING! Or after it rains. However, it gets incredibly crowded during this time of year. If you plan to go now, go EARLY! 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝘿𝙤 𝙄 𝘽𝙪𝙮 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨 : You need to buy a CDFW Land’s Pass for the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve location, if you’re 16 or older. We bought a day pass online (https://www.ca.wildlifelicense.com/internetsales) for $4.89 each. Print the pass and have it on you while hiking! There are a couple other ways to buy it, but online is the most popular. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙠𝙚 : It depends on if you’e just doing Phantom Falls or if you wanna see other falls here too. Parts of the trail don’t exist, so having a GPS or downloading a GPS track will be super helpful. Most of the “trail” is easy-moderate, but there are a lot of rocks, so watch your footing. Also cow pies. Lots of domestic cows wander about — don’t approach! 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙨 : ➖Again, go EARLY in the AM to avoid the insane crowds. ➖Leave no trace! Pack it in, pack it out. Including masks, trash, toilet paper, and fruit peels. ➖There are often portapotties in the parking lot (but not always), and no potties anywhere else. Bring your own toilet paper and a ziplock to pack it out in. ➖Pack water and sunscreen. There’s no shade! Also sturdy shoes for mud and rocky trails. ➖DO NOT stomp through or pick the flowers. They’re protected by the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife, and it’s illegal to pick them! ➖Respect the locals and their property. #phantomfalls #northtablemountain #visitcalifornia (at North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNBOPdvAzSK/?igshid=1keo7q03019gk
