Six Rivers National Forest. Mostly on good trail as we go up to and along the NRT known as Horse Ridge Trail and pause by Waterdog Lakes.
Six Rivers National Forest, California
In the West Salmon Mountains of Trinity Alps Wilderness, day 2 followed better trail. It hardly ever lost us! As we headed up to Horse Ridge Trail along Horse Trail Ridge, tagging Trinity Summit (Guard Station) and North Trinity Mountain along the way.
Six Rivers National Forest. A short backpacking trip on the extreme western side of Trinity Alps Wilderness, starting with the lower part of
Six Rivers National Forest, California
This was just an overnight, but not a quick one, in the West Salmon Mountains of Trinity Alps Wilderness.
Day 1 was winding along Crogan Hole Trail before finding a way roughly along McKay Meadows and Tish Tang Ridge Trails, which could be in better shape.
Klamath National Forest. The final day, descending down Kelsey Creek from snow into spring again. And the rattlesnakes were out. Well, one w
Klamath National Forest, California
3rd day: Heading down Kelsey Creek from Paradise Lake with a lot less snow on the ground than when we climbed.
Klamath National Forest. Through the snow north on the Pacific Crest Trail to a high point with a lovely view, then back through a little le
Klamath National Forest, California
2nd day: Starting off fighting snow, heading north on the PCT as the trail eventually gets to a ridge line walk. We headed up, appropriately, Big Ridge for the day's destination, then returned to Paradise Lake.
Klamath National Forest. Hiking from spring flowers to fresh "winter" snow on Kelsey Creek Trail to Paradise Lake. Start of 3 days backpacki
Klamath National Forest, California
The high country shouldn't be accessible yet, especially just a few days after a storm, but it was already like June out there. We headed up to Paradise Lake on the Kelsey Trail and had the popular spot all to ourselves. Hiking around once there was more limited, but possible.
1st day: Up along Kelsey Creek to Paradise Lake along the Pacific Crest Trail among the Marble Mountains.
Mendocino National Forest. Finishing the ridge walk, including peaks Blue Slide and Horsehead Mountain, then road walk to finish 3 days back
Mendocino National Forest, California
Day 3 backpacking Yolla Bolly: Finishing the circuit with two more named peaks to tag on the way. First Blue Slide by the side of the trail just before everything got dicey. Second Horsehead Mountain where three forests and three major watersheds meet.
Mendocino National Forest. Magnificent ridge walk with a peak in the middle to bag. Just a little snow for the rather dry winter.
Mendocino National Forest, California
Day 2 backpacking Yolla Bolly: Headed up to Buck Ridge and up the yolla bolly (snowy mountains, well, mountain) of Shell Mountain. They really should all be yolla bolly at the moment.
Mendocino National Forest. The first quick day backpacking didn't have much, but the actual Middle Eel (north fork). Good stuff follows!
Mendocino National Forest, California
Yolla Bolly! This time backpacking the area of Shell Mountain for three days, although the plan kept morphing.
The first day, we didn't get far. We didn't get to the trailhead for the downed trees and we didn't get to the planned camp for the fact the newly selected trail connector didn't actually exist.
Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Out in the forest and by the water among the shifting sands under shifting clouds.
Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, California
Just a little hike on shifting ground under shifting weather at the local National Natural Landmark. For more information, check the link above.
Shasta National Forest. Up a canyon on a bit of snow to see a canyon. And back again.
Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California
Got in a little bit of snowshoeing on a day hike out to see the canyon along Swift Creek, a popular Trinity Alps Wilderness location in the summer, and finally check around an old cabin.
Shasta National Forest. Checking out all the little ponds around the upper Deadfall Lake, then down the long way via the PCT to finish 3 day
Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California
The 3rd and last day backpacking around Mount Eddy, we explored the local area a little more before hiking out via the Pacific Crest Trail, the more common route. I liked Deadfall Lake Trail better.
Shasta National Forest. Starting the day with the hike up to the top of Mount Eddy, then a long loop and spur to see Toad Lake and PCT.
Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California
The 2nd day backpacking around Mount Eddy, we headed up to the top of Mount Eddy itself, then wandered the trails south toward Toad Lake before returning north to our camp.
Shasta National Forest. A tour of the various lakes the make up Deadfall Lakes plus observing a few carnivorous plants.
Shasta-Trinity National Forest, California
One last trip to finish off 2025. Headed up Mount Eddy, tallest peak of the coastal ranges, in the rather mild weather of early December. The first day was checking out all the Deadfall Lakes before selecting a camp site for the next two nights.
Klamath National Forest. Hiking out on the PCT under Red Buttes, then a long stretch of road to finish a 3 day backpacking trip to the area.
Klamath National Forest, California
The third and last day backpacking near Seiad on the Pacific Crest Trail had a bit more ridge view, some search for a different short way down, then a long route around passing a pair of waterfalls.
For more information, check the link above.
Klamath National Forest. On trail ridge walking to a small peak at the edge of Red Buttes Wilderness on a clear day.
Klamath National Forest, California
The second day backpacking, there was much ridge views and even a peak to bag (Rattlesnake Mountain) along both the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail and the Boundary National Recreation Trail.
For more info, check the link above.
Klamath National Forest. Up the hill from wet to frozen via some special trees and a little lake.
Klamath National Forest, California
Back in California (barely) with a three day backpacking trip flirting with the edge of Red Buttes Wilderness. High ridge views and a little snow. First, the tough climb up West Fork Seiad Creek to camp among pools with springs in the bottoms.

Pataspco Valley State Park. One last romp around the fall colors near and above the river with some historic notes.
Patapsco Valley State Park, Maryland
One last grand wandering along the thin colored leaves of Patapsco Valley State Park in Maryland that met up with a bit of history here and there.
