Big Sur, CA
Hiking | 9.7 miles
It is a trip that in summer month will challenge your sanity for hiking 10 miles to hot springs when during the hike all you can think of is a cold bath.It is a medium to strenuous hike with views to kill for.

Yosemite National Park, California, United States
Hiking | 10.1 miles

Clouds Rest Revisited
by EwaSkB on Aug 16, 2010
Yosemite National Park, California, United States
Hiking | 12.1 miles
This is one of my favorite hikes in Yosemite. This year wild flowers were just magnificent. The views are magnificent. Feet soaking in Tenaya Lake after the hike priceless. We were not acclimatized well to altitude and for some reason that bothered me more than on my previous CR hike. Taking it easy and drinking a lot of water helped.

Glacier Point, Yosemite NP

Yosemite NP, California, United States
Hiking | 9.5 miles
A great hike with magnificent views of the valley and Yosemite Falls. Hint: do it in the morning before sun hits the trail. The trail is quite steep but not technical at all. One of Yosemite must do hikes.
