New Years Pinnacles Loop »

Winter/Spring 2008 Plans

In no particular order, here are some outings I'm considering for this winter and spring.
Additional suggestions welcome, particularly for any place I've yet to hike.

  1. Pinnacles NM, Couterclockwise loop around the Northern Wilderness and High Peaks trail.  (Done clockwise a few years back, doing this to kick off the year on Tuesday)
  2. Big Basin HQ to Butano SP via Gazos Creek Road
  3. Pine Ridge Trail thru-hike w/ overnight at Big Sur lodge
  4. Ventana Double Cone from Bottchers Gap (do this about once a year)
  5. Skyline to Sea (looking for a car swap partner for this, I'll take the uphill variant)
  6. Lost Coast trail (been there twice, but never been south of Jackass Creek)
  7. Henry Coe,  Hunting Hollow to Burra Burra Peak (repeat of the very first hike on the website)
    Will do Bear Mountain instead if they reopen the northern section of the park in the spring
  8. Dick Smith Wilderness, Malduce Mountain and Samon Peak (2 of the HPS Big 4)
  9. Mt. Diablo 4 peaks, Clockwise (Done this counterclockwise)
  10. Ventana Wilderness, Cone Peak from Highway 1

    Let me know when you are heading for Lost Coast Trail. Maybe I could join you.

    And any other of the physically demanding routes.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR.

    Rick, the Lost Coast outing will be toward late spring. I'm also hopefully planning to do either the JMT or the TRT in September. I'll send you a note as my plans firm up.

    Nice list, but a few of those hikes promise little — if any — trout fishing. Rather than publicly ridicule you for your odd choices, we’ll simply ask: what are you thinking?

    I’m thinking that fishing requires patience and the ability to sit still- neither of which are skills that I possess in any great quantity. :)
