If you love hiking, and like a lot of people in the US right now, are craving some sunshine and Vitamin D, it’s easy to dream about trips to take in the coming months. I thought the trip I did with Mama Boots in 2019 was a perfect recommendation!

Redwood National Park: Prairie Creek

Mama Boots and I continued our road trip north from Eureka, headed to see more redwoods. It was time to see my twelfth national park!
Avenue of the Giants: Drury-Chaney Loop

During any roadtrip that goes through northern California, the Avenue of the Giants is a requisite stop. This 31-mile highway used to be part of the famous 101 Highway, but now it is a can’t-miss detour.
Quick Hikes at Point Reyes National Seashore

This June, Mama Boots and I embarked on a road trip from San Francisco to Bend. Our first stop was the gem of Point Reyes National Seashore located only about an hour from SF!
Channel Islands National Park: Pelican Bay on Santa Cruz Island

Sometimes, fate gives you a little push. A family vacation in Southern California, just 10 minutes from a boat that will take me to one of the least-visited National Parks in the country? Sold!
