One of Flagstaff's best hikes, the Inner Basin Trail wanders through an extremely photogenic grove of beautiful white aspens.
Stout Grove Hike — Jedediah Smith Redwoods SP, CA
Grieg-French-Bell Grove - Humboldt Redwoods SP, CA
Wahkeena Falls & Fairy Falls — Portland, Oregon
Rockefeller Loop - Humboldt Redwoods SP, CA
The Rockefeller Loop is one of the best hikes you can do in Humboldt Redwoods - it's easy, short, and gives you everything you could want in a redwood hike - tall trees, an open under story, and both a river and a creek to relax by. The 7,000 acre Rockefeller Forest is also the world's largest contiguous old growth forest of coastal redwoods.
Sunset Trail & Big Laguna Trail Loop - Cleveland NF, CA
North Fork Big Pine Creek (Spring) - Inyo NF, CA
For our first backpacking trip of the season, we decided on the North Fork of Big Pine Creek - a beautiful basin of glacier-fed lakes that I have been eagerly waiting to do. Once we got there, I could see why this was a popular destination - the impressive snow-capped peaks towering above all 9 beautiful lakes, great fishing, and ease of access make the North Fork the ideal Sierra hike.
