| Granite Lake is an easy short hike / beginning backpack. It begins off Highway 88 near Silver Lake in Northern California. The hike is slightly more than a mile (one way) in length, but you experience a variety of the Sierra Nevada biotic zones. From scrub Manzanita, Aspens, rushing creeks, a waterfall, open granite expanses to a mirror lake - this trail has it all. It can serve as a great base camp for day hikes. | Granite Lake Map | (Coming Soon) |
| Pyramid Peak via Rocky Creek trail is a moderate to advanced day hike from Highway 50 near Strawberry, CA to the top of Pyramid Peak, a nearly 10K peak in Desolation Wilderness near Lake Tahoe. From the top, on a clear day, you can see up to and over 100 miles. Views of the Sacramento Valley, Desolation Wilderness and even South Lake Tahoe can be had. The trail ascends about 4400 feet over a 3.5 mile one way (7 miles round trip). Best done in late May or Early June - easily accessible trail head for anyone in Northern California. | Pyramid Peak via Rocky Creek | |
| Morning Sun trail to loop trail around Rodeo Valley in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. This 6.2 mile day hike is North of San Francisco, just across the Golden Gate Bridge. On clear days, it offers clean air and great views of San Francisco City and Bay, Alcatraz and Angel Islands. Looking West you get sweeping Pacific Ocean views even out to the Farallon Islands. Plenty of wildlife, in fact on January 3, 2009, the author of this guide spotted a Mountain Lion on the trail and had to retreat to an alternate trail (look on the map at right for the dead end stub that goes up the middle of the loop, that is where the big cat was spotted). Trail is easy to get to and can be cut short, via many side trails if you want a shorter hike. | Morning Sun Loop Map | Morning Sun to Loop Trail |
