Now is the best time for ‘demanding’ Bay Area waterfall hike on Mount Tam
The burn in my legs is real. No, really. I still feel it as I type this. My calves and quads, more specifically, but I think you get the unflattering picture. The Cataract Falls Trail in Mount Tamalpais State Park is a must for lovers of waterfalls (and who isn’t) and now is the time to be there. As Bill Hader’s Stefon would say: "This place has everything." Marin County’s hottest club has surging waterfalls, green moss and lots of steep staircases. I once did this trail with my wife a couple years ago during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. To say that the trip was muddy, slippery and crowded would be an understatement. Even with the extraordinary rains that just dumped on California, this most recent trip was only somewhat muddy, and the fact that I visited on a weekday morning helped with competing hikers. A weekend visit will absolutely be more crowded, so plan accordingly. This level of water hasn’t been seen in the watershed since February 2019. "The early … [Read more...] about Now is the best time for ‘demanding’ Bay Area waterfall hike on Mount Tam
Sierra snowpack is largest it has been in 28 years
California state water officials tramped through the snow in the Sierra Nevada on Wednesday to take official measurements of the snowpack. They stuck their instruments into the snow at Phillips Station off Highway 50 near Lake Tahoe and took a series of measurements, determining that the snowpack at this location was 193% of normal for the date. The state has conducted snow surveys at Phillips Station since 1941. It's mostly a ceremonious exercise that draws attention to one of the state's key sources of water. The daily readings from stations across the entire length of the Sierra provide a more complete picture of the snowpack's status, and as of Feb. 1, these show the statewide snowpack is 205% of average for the date, according to the California Department of Water Resources. "That’s the biggest since 1995, when it was 207% of average for February 1," Jason Ince, a spokesperson for department told SFGATE. This is a carousel.

Registration to hike California’s Mount Whitney is now open
This spring, experienced hikers might score the chance to cross the tallest mountain in California (and the lower 48 states) off their bucket list. The Mount Whitney lottery opened on Feb. 1 for the 2023 season, and the competition will likely be fierce. The window to hike Whitney is from May 1 to Nov. 1. Before entering the lottery, you’ll need to create an account on Recreation.gov . The Mount Whitney Trail starts in the Inyo National Forest at Whitney Portal, 8,300 feet above sea level. The trail gains over 6,200 feet of elevation before reaching the summit in Sequoia National Park at the southern end of the John Muir Trail. In 2021, Recreation.gov fielded 25,005 applications requesting trips for 108,576 people, but only 28% won the chance to reserve a slot. Even if you're lucky enough to get a date, the summit success rate is less than 50% every year, according to park officials . The 22-mile round-trip hike on the Whitney trail can take up to 14 hours, and in … [Read more...] about Registration to hike California’s Mount Whitney is now open

Groundhog Day weather report controversy over killing deemed ‘an insult to Royal Family’
It's Groundhog Day , again, as that infamous Bill Murray feature of the same name marked, and Americans are preparing for yet another weather report . But that same weather report that was pushed to the forefront of culture in Harold Ramis' Groundhog Day has an odd origin at the heart of it and served as an "insult to the Royal Family". A groundhog predicting whether the town of Punxsutawney will have six more weeks of winter holds an odd connection to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her late husband Prince Philip .
