Get Your Hike On - California Coastal Trail

I’ve been avoiding anything coastal for the past few weeks because it has been really hot and it seems like everyone and their brother has been heading to the beach. However, I just read about the California Coastal Trail and now I am feeling ambitious enough to brave the crowds for this great hike. One of the coolest things about the hike is that it is more like a project, since it runs the entire length of the state and would be impossible to do in a day or even a week. I like the fact that I can hike it in sections, eventually completing each section so that one day I can say, “I hiked the entire California Coastal Trail!” For now, though, I will be content with checking out the Los Angeles and Ventura County sections. Especially with all the wildfires raging up north.

I would love to take Big Old Dog, because I am totally inspired by this article about Hiking with Dogs on HikingForums.net, but I am not sure if he is actually allowed on the trail. I wouldn’t even mind if they required dog leashes for the trail (although I am sure Big Old Dog would be a little disappointed!) I guess I will research that a little more before heading out.
