Hiking/Backpacking/Camping in California
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 6:02 pm
Hey everyone, thanks for checking into this thread. My 2 friends and myself are looking for a fun place to do some hiking/backpacking and free climbing. I couldn't find any places on-line that had somewhere that I could input my criteria into, so I'm hoping this forum's knowledge can help find what I'm looking for.
My requirements are, but not limited to the following:
- Places to cliff-jump
- Decent weather (not raining, freezing all the time)
- Lake/river to swim and fish in.
- Trails that lead to scenic views. (High-ish peaks with epic views pref.)
- Intermediate bouldering
- Isolation/Lack of other people
- Any ridiculously cool must-see things like caves or rock formations
We're looking to go somewhere we can be entertained for 3 or 4 days, so any recommendations will be greatly appreciated! Also, it's a huge plus if the locations aren't 12 hours away from my zip code (91301), long drives kill the back!
Thanks!
Kyle
