All about Hiking in California
Whether you like the leisurely self-guided hiking from winery to winery or rough backcountry hiking through spotless wasteland, tons of California hiking options wait for the itinerant hiker like you, and should actually be included in your backpacking checklist. But if you want to discover a side of California you have never witnessed before, then begin with the Country's North Coast.
Hiking some 20 miles north of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge will divulge to you a California you never knew existed. Following the Pacific Coast Highway (Route 1), slink past pumpkin patches, Yuletide tree farms, grazing horses, and towns right out of the 1950s and at the end of it all are ancient redwood forests, craggy coastlines, picturesque vineyards, and charming country hotels.
You can take Occidental as your first stop in your long California hiking trip. A love town snuggled in a redwood forest near the Russian Stream, Occidental was once a former lumber and railroad center. Now, the city is famous for its family-style Italian restaurants.
During your layover, you can pass the time watching whales and sportfish at Bodega Bay or take a look at the wineries along the Russian Stream Wine Road. The Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve also offers great California hiking when you become bored with the stationary life.
After Occidental, keep your eyes open as the next city is one of those blink-your-eyes-and-you-miss-it towns. Perched high on a cliff overlooking a mile of picturesque coastline along Route 1, Elk is 20 miles south of Mendocino where migrating whales can be spotted off the coast in December when they head south and in the start of spring when they head north with their calves.
California hiking through this city feels like going back in time to almost 100 years gone when Elk was a busy port with a flourishing lumber industry and a population of 2,000. You may even make some arrangements for horseback rides, whale-watching boat trips or a picnic lunch. And, of course, what is California hiking without a tour thru the wineries? You will find 15 these in Elk inside a 30-minute drive.
Next stop: Mendocino. This picturesque bluff-top village is trapped on 3 sides by craggy coastline. Mendocino is legendary for its ultra-unique architecture, reflecting the town's roots (it's early settlers were from New England).
Mendocino has the distinction of having the most beautiful main streets in America. Each shop in the four block area has a sea view. Shops? Of special note are the Book Flat with a good selection of books, Mendocino Art Center Showcase Studio featuring the work of local artists and crafters, Mendocino Chocolate Company. Feted for its home made truffles, and a couple more.
Feel a bit like in the movies when you go California hiking in Mendocino. The town's charms have not been lost on the movie industry. Beginning in the silent film time, more than 50 films have been shot here, including the six that have received assorted Academy Awards "Johnny Belinda (1948), East of Eden (1955), and The Summer of '42 (1971).
And that ends your California hiking trip thru the North Coast. If you would like to go on, noted parks for California hiking fans include Point Reyes National Shore, Sequoia and Kings Ravine Nationwide Parks, Yosemite Falls, Yosemite Countrywide Park, John Muir National Historical Site, and plenty more.
California hiking hasn't ever been this full of options.
Joseph Robertson is an ardent supporter of developing a smart backpacking checklist before going on an extended hike. Finding the best hikes is undeniably apart of a good backpacker's hiking essentials.
