A forum for discussing hiking and backpacking in and near the Sacramento area, including the gorgeous river canyons of the Sierra foothills. Other discussion topics: snowshoe hiking; hiking and backpacking gear; hiking and backbacking guide books; hiking and backpacking safety; hiking photography; birds and wildflowers that we see on our hikes; and trail foods. Discussion of points farther afield--for example, the Sierra Nevada Mountains or the Klamaths--is also welcome. This is also a forum for finding hiking and backpacking partners, and for setting up group hikes.
Some of our hikes and backpack trips are beginner-friendly. Questions are always welcome.
