Round Valley Regional Reserve

Hello Trailblazers! Welcome to the Round Valley Regional Reserve in Brentwood California! This low level mountain area is a real fun wintertime day trip for a moderate to easy hike.

Right now is probably the perfect time to go since most of the grass is beginning to turn green on the hills, the temperature is still pretty nice, and the views here are very relaxing. There are a lot of picture perfect moments in this area as you can see above. No need to worry about bugs, overcrowded trails, or scorching hot temperatures. There is plenty of shade when walking through the trees, and several of the creek beds are dried up. So if you want to go off trail and explore them go right ahead! I took my picture above in a dried out creek which took us right in between two mountains.

This was a fun hike and the best part was we didn't have to go too far to see some beautiful scenery. Have fun!

YOSEMITE!!!

Today Trailblazers we feature the BIGGEST and BEST park of them all! I am referring to the wonderful Yosemite National Park! This park is filled with some tremendous and wonderful sights to keep you awe struck for hours and hours.

I decided to include an old black and white photo to capture the true rugged essence of Yosemite. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, it doesn't matter. Yosemite's beauties are enhanced by all the seasons. If you are really itching for a great hike this winter break, grab a buddy and drive up to Yosemite for some snow shoe hiking. If you have ever wanted to experience a true winterwonderland with ice capped mountains, white valleys, and cool crisp air you should go to Yosemite.

So do it now, what are you waiting for!?!

Until the next trail calls!
