I visited Sequoia Park in July of 2023, and travelled on several scenic trails, staying at Lodgepole Campground. The trailhead to Tokopah Falls begins at Lodgepole Campground in Sequoia National Park, just after crossing over the Kaweah River Bridge towards the rear of the campground.
Are you looking for a fun art walk, right within the central valley of California? Exeter, CA is filled with a total of 31 colorful murals, you would not expect to see, in a small farming town. The murals celebrate farm workers, and agricultural heritage of the area.
Ladder and Painted Canyons are one of the most interesting desert hikes through the backcountry in the Mecca Wilderness in the Coachella Valley. Light paints the desert canyon walls along this hike in many shades of red, purple, green, and gold, depending on the time of day. The tall sheer walls of painted canyon will make you feel so small, in comparison.

I decided to check out the tidepools along the beachside cliffs of La Jolla. It's a scenic and beautiful hike which can be enjoyed year-round, but is best enjoyed at low tide. There are sea caves, and plenty of sea life all along the way.
