On a sunny Southern California winter's Saturday, we hiked the Flint Canyon Trail, a Los Angeles County-maintained trail, to the famed, possibly haunted Devils Gate Dam. This post contains hiking safety and a nice brunch suggestion in neighboring Montrose.
On a winter visit to Indio, we explored the East Indio Hills Badlands. The rocky formations were created by millennia of deposition, geologic uplift, and erosion, and today make a fun low-key adventure not far from desert resorts. In this post, I share our morning adventure, along with some safety considerations for desert hikes.
There are many options for international travel across Europe. Eurostar provides high-speed rail service from London to major cities such as Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam, with connections to cities in Germany. All aboard!
In this first of two posts set in Sacramento, we take a walking tour through the city. Highlights include the Capitol building and the historic Tower Bridge. There is much to see in California's state capital.
After a rainy couple weeks in November, we enjoyed a half-day adventure hiking and wine tasting in Agua Dulce.
