The James Irvine Trail

The trail is a 6-mile one-way path through Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park that ends at Fern Canyon, but it's most popular as part of an 11.5-12 mile loop with the Miners Ridge trail and Gold Bluffs Beach. This challenging loop hike features old-growth redwoods, ferns, and coastal bluffs, with the James Irvine trail itself being a moderate out-and-back hike that includes both flat sections and steep climbs. Located in the heart of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. 6.5 miles north of Orick, CA.

Oregon Wildlife Safari Park

Wildlife Safari is home to more than 550 animals from around the world that wander freely over the 615-acre park, which guests can drive through. Here, people and nature come together in the beautiful hills of Southern Oregon. It’s a place where you’ll find a Garden of Eden, a horticultural wonderland, and Lions, Tigers, Bears, Cheetahs, Elephants, and Giraffes all in one. Open 363 days a year! Closed only on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Overlook Trail

This short, easy connector trail branches off the main Rim Trail in Sue-meg State Park near Trinidad, California. It’s a good spot for birding, hiking, and walking, with a moderate 3.2-mile loop that features coastal views, lush forests, and gives quick access to viewpoints like Wedding Rock and Palmer's Point, which you can combine with the main loop and other side trails for a longer hike.

Sue-meg State Park

The park has meadows and trees on a headland with high cliffs that look out over a beautiful coastline, including Agate Beach and tide pools. Visitors often see deer, sea lions, and seals. During migration season, you might spot gray whales. The park also features a reconstructed Native American Village, hiking trails, and summer programs that offer guided walks and educational activities.

People also enjoy looking for agates on the beach at low tide, searching in gravelly spots for semi-precious stones with unique bands, such as agates, jade, and jasper.

Mount Shasta Ice Rink

The Mount Shasta Ice Rink measures 85 by 185 feet, matching National Hockey League rinks. Skating outdoors here is exciting, with stunning views of Mt. Shasta all around. The rink usually opens from late November to mid-February and offers public skating, skate lessons, camps, hockey programs for adults and kids, tournaments, group sessions, and special events.

Mount Shasta Snowman Hill sits in Shasta Park in the City of Mt. Shasta, at the base of the snow-covered mountain. The area was once a historic ski jump, but today it’s a popular spot for families. You can find it on Highway 89 near Mount Shasta, where free sledding and tobogganing are available for everyone. On some nights, you might even see the mountain lit up by a full moon.

Kayaking in the Falls

The McCloud River Trail leads you past three beautiful waterfalls as it winds through a canyon of basalt lava rock. The path is smooth and well maintained, making it easy to enjoy swimming in the summer, colorful leaves in the fall, and the early spring thaw. The trail is open all year, and many kayakers recommend it for its mix of nature, paddling, and relaxation. Each of the three overlooks also has ADA features.

McCloud Middle Falls

This is the middle of the three McCloud River Falls and stands out as the largest, with a 44-foot drop that offers a great view. At 120 feet wide, it is one of the widest waterfalls in California. In spring, the water forms a white curtain, while later in the year it splits into two even cascades. Visitors often enjoy rock jumping and swimming here. The waterfall is easy to reach by both trail and road.

Big Dog, Big Views, Bigger Adventures

Stormy is our two-year-old Cane Corso. She is an Italian mastiff breed and an amazing companion dog despite her size and power. She positively loves the ocean beaches, lakes, and rivers for play, though her heavy build means supervision is crucial because she struggles with swimming.

This photo was taken last year at Harris Beach State Park in Brookings, Oregon. Stormy attracted many admirers and enjoyed meeting the families who stopped to greet her.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937 and stretches 1.7 miles across the water. Its bright "International Orange" color helps it stand out in the fog. The towers reach 746 feet above the bay. In all its years, the bridge has closed only three times because of strong winds. It was once the world’s longest suspension bridge, but now it ranks 23rd. The two main cables hold 80,000 miles of wire—enough to wrap around the Earth three times. The roadway can rise or fall by up to 16 feet to accommodate wind and traffic. An Engineering Marvel!
