    The AMAZING oak tree was the highlight of this fantastic trail. So peaceful there as well, just a beautiful day my friend. Appreciate you sharing these moments with us 😊🌲

      The Oak was huge, and a great surprise to come across on this trail. Park of this park was burned during the California fires. Glad this area didn't burn, it would have been a great lose to loose this tree. Have a great weekend Natureman.

    400 feet of gain in half a mile sounds like an incredible incline to conquer! Thanks for sharing this trail!

    • @adventureswithLK
      @adventureswithLK  3 роки тому +1

      It was really steep in the first have and and then started to tapper off some. Definitely gave my ankles a good stretch if I didn't walk on the balls of my feet. I think coming down was a bit harder trying to keep from speeding up. This would be a great trail to hike in spring when everything is green and blooming.

      Funny you should say that, because I was expecting to see a cowboy come riding out of the trees at anytime. The weather was perfect for hiking that day. Not hot and not cold and clear sky's.

      No. One group of ladies and that was it. This was the first weekend the park was opened after all the fires we had, so I dont think a lot of people realized it was open again, so lucky me. Have a great week Matt.

    • @adventureswithLK
      @adventureswithLK  4 роки тому +1

      When I did this hike most of the park was still off limits, and only the area around the visitors center was open to the public. I could not see any areas that were burned. I believe most of the burn area is on the east back country side.
