Brian and Ashley-
I recently found your blog in my “hiking Los Angeles area” google
search and I wanted to say – awesome work. As a fairly recent
resident of Los Angeles (3 years) I often find myself kicking (myself)
for failing to venture out—saving my outdoor experiences for long
summer backpacking trips or short hikes back in my hometown-San
Francisco. Your blog is clear and well organized with great pictures
showing the views on your adventures without taking up huge chunks of
the page. Your categories (Directions, Description, Further Thoughts)
make your blog easy to navigate and hard to resist exploring the site
myself- so thanks for the push! I especially like the maps detailed
with the hikers/picnic area/bathrooms.
Not only are your links plentiful and helpful, but I also appreciate
how your posts are not confined to hikes you have taken. As you
include information about fee free days, special events, and contests
involving wilderness and national parks.
Further, I a lit lover (especially travel books) I enjoy the “good
books” section as well as your links to hiking information (i.e.
snakes and survival necessities) and the list of other helpful
websites and blogs. You inclusion of science/wildlife is great too-I
wish I had time to do all of these hikes!
I really miss getting outdoors – life can get pretty demanding as a
college student (especially as that social-I mean academic- calendar
fills up) and motivating roommates to get outdoors is nearly
impossible (somehow Fraternity Row tends to take precedent) but I
think I have finally convinced my friends to get outdoors so I will
definitely be frequenting your helpful blog.
