Stout Grove Hike

 A week ago yesterday, I went on a hike with a parks and recreation tour group of 7 to Stout Grove, located at the Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in northern California.  Stout Grove is very popular with tourists who want to see old growth redwoods.  I took these pictures with my iPhone 13.

A Few Photos from Silver Falls State Park, Oregon

 Yesterday, I went to one of the places on my bucket list, Silver Falls State Park,  near Salem, Oregon.  I hiked the entire Canyon Trail, also known as the Trail of the Ten Falls.  It was worth the visit, but when I hike this area again, I will break it up into two separate excursions. The 8.7-mile hike is really long and very hard on my feet.  My tracker said I went almost 29,000 steps.

 Today I went bicycling down another section of the famed Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes in northern Idaho. This section is one of the most scenic parts of this famed bike path.  A few pictures:
