Another month, another hike! Recently checked out a new hiking trail with new friends. Checked out Tokopah Falls Trail hidden away by giant sequoias.

In an attempt to hike more, Chris and I decided to head over to Springville, CA to do the Camp Nelson Trail! We found the trail through several Instagram posts and decided it was a pretty place to be.

On the last weekend of January, Chris and I finally headed to the mountains for our first hike of the year. My younger brother got me an annual parks pass for Christmas so we also (finally) got to use it!

Before departing for Oceanside, we stopped by Joshua Tree National Park early in the morning. It was empty; we basically had it to ourselves.

This past week, Chris and I did a new trail in the heart of Pasadena called Eaton Canyon. It’s a rather heavily populated hike that features a waterfall at the end of the trail.

A few days ago, Chris and I hiked up to the abandoned ruins of Big Horn Mine. The trailhead began at the Vincent Gulch Divide parking lot, off the CA-2 highway.
