Great hiking website and blog
I just learned about John Soares’ www.northerncaliforniahikingtrails.com – a great resource for those looking to hike in Siskiyou County and the rest of Northern California. The website encourages viewers to purchase his books, and it also include his blog, where you can read about recent adventures and seasonal hiking options. Scroll down through recent posts to his entry on fall hiking to Seven Lakes Basin, just over the divide to the west of Mt. Shasta. You can read a description of this hike, which is also a very nice, easy overnight backpacking trip for those in the Mt. Shasta area.
You’ll find trip reports from the region – including hiking at Lassen Volcanic National Park and rafting on the Klamath River. Read about other local adventurers, like mountain climber and former multi-sport racer Laurie Bagley. John recently posted photos of folks enjoy the McCloud River Waterfalls this summer as well as photos from the Squaw Valley Creek trail outside of McCloud. You’ll find links to descriptions of those trails too. You can sort through hiking and backpacking tips and other categories of outdoor related information that will certainly add to the quality of your outings.
This is a great resource for anyone looking to get out on the trails with a bit more information and local insight. Enjoy!

Hello Renee!
