Clikapudi Loop

Shasta Lake from Clikapudi Loop Trail

A fairly long loop, just over seven miles, next to Shasta Lake. Clikapudi means 'to kill' in Wintu and the name refers to an 1800's battle between local traders and the Wintu Indians. Great views of the lake and some pleasant forest sections. Probably could have done with knocking off a few miles of going around inlets but worth the visit.

Waters Gulch Loop Trail

Shasta Lake from Waters Gulch Trail

Short 3.5 mile loop trail next to Shasta Lake. There is a nice spot to have lunch near the water half way round. The final stretch is on a twisty road with no sidewalk but overall a pleasant hike with a range of terrain and views.

Milagra Ridge

Milagra Ridge in Pacifica

Starting from this parking area makes for a brisk walk up to Milagra Ridge and then a nice loop at the top before returning by the same trail. Milagra Ridge used to be a Nike missile site (SF-51), still has some WWII remains (Battery #244) and a reservoir. I thought it looked like a nice enough day to brave Pacifica but by the time I'd loaded the dog and driven down the fog had swept in. Still a pleasant 3 mile hike.

Tunnel Mountain

Tunnel Mountain, Banff

Elk on Tunnel Mountain in Banff

View along the Bow River in Banff

Hike from Banff to the Hoodoos on the Bow River, then around the back of Tunnel Mountain and back to Banff. Clearly you could close the loop but in this case we had some well deserved ice cream and then got the bus back.

Bolinas Point Loop

Marconi Transmitting Station remnants in Bolinas

Short and fairly flat loop above Bolinas in California. Plenty of cows. Comes back past Commonweal which is a retreat center. The area used to be a Marconi Telegraph transmitting station and there are a lot of poles and concrete anchor points dating from that.

Point Reyes - Divide Meadow Loop

Trees on the Divide Meadow Loop in Point Reyes

Five mile loop hike from the Bear Valley visitor center to Mount Wittenberg and back. Great day for it with clear skies and a mini heatwave. Lots of tree cover and a fairly undulating climb although it gets pretty steep towards the top. Some rewarding views over Point Reyes before scrambling back down again.

Philosopher's Way in McLaren Park

Philosopher's Way in McLaren Park

Philosopher's Way is a 2.7 mile loop around McLaren Park in San Francisco. The trail was designed by Peter Richards and Susan Schwatzenberg and opened in 2013. The stone markers are fun to look for and there are various interesting plaques on the route as well. McLaren is the second largest city park in San Francisco. John McLaren is more famous for developing and then becoming the superintendent of Golden Gate Park. He is responsible for the windmills - to pump water to irrigate the park and apparently insisted that there could be no 'Keep off the Grass' signs.

A pleasant loop hike in the Presidio of San Francisco. This is a dog friendly version, many trails are closed to dogs in the spring due to coyote pupping season.

Phantom Falls

Phantom Falls

Phantom Falls

Phantom Falls

We did this four mile out and back hike during a small gap between record breaking winter storms. There was snow, fog, mud, many ordinary cows and one very furious one. The first waterfall, Ravine Falls, was very pretty and the eponymous Phantom Falls lived up to its name. Will try again sometime. This is close to Oroville, California in the North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve.

Short Shell Ridge Open Space Loop

Short Shell Ridge Open Space Loop

A two mile Shell Ridge Open Space loop in Walnut Creek. This follows Fossil Hill Trail to Indian Creek Trail, then loops back via the Briones to Mount Diablo Regional Trail and finally Jeep Trail. The Jeep Trail portion was to avoid getting the dog wet and it failed miserably thanks to a hidden muddy wallow.
