Pacific Crest Trails: Vasquez Rocks
For a nice hike along the Pacific Crest Trail featuring some other-worldly rock formations, Vasquez Rocks is a fun adventure. Located in north Los Angeles County, this 945-acre county park has a nature center- and scenic views.
The Reopening of Chantry Flat
After a four-year closure, we headed back to Chantry Flat Recreation Area in the Angeles National Forest. While life- and the trail- has changed some, there is still much adventure to be shared in Big Santa Anita Canyon.
Old Pinnacles
Even with inclement weather presenting challenges for a President's Day camping trip, Pinnacles National Park offered up some new hiking adventures. In this post, the Cranky Camper highlights the lushness of the Bear Gulch and Rim trails, as well as a new hike along the Old Pinnacles trail.

While the stay-at-home orders haven't exactly ended, the trails in Los Angeles County are finally starting to open up after over a month-long closure. So with the mountains calling, we must go... along with the rest of Southern California.
