California Through My Lens

Hikes

There’s no more diverse place to hike than the Golden State. Whether you’re looking to trek through vast desert-scapes or lose yourself in lush forests, California has some of the best hiking available. From Death Valley to the Redwoods, you can explore charcoal kilns, hike among giant trees and even see a shipwreck. Here are some of my favorite hikes in California.
