Three words: Old Rag Hike!! The park won't let you down. Waterfalls galore, amazing foggy sunrise/sets and awesome wildlife! If you're coming to the park, be sure to camp!
If you're ANYWHERE in Southern California, you NEED to make a trip to these hot springs. The Bowen Ranch owner will charge you $5/person to park at the ranch and $10/person to camp. They tell you not to camp near the springs, but being that it is a footstep off the PCT, many hikers find this a great place to relax for a day (and sleep). So I believe most people camp at the springs. I must warn you, be prepared to see naked people!
There is a BEAUTIFUL 45 minute hike down and about hour hike back. (The hike is backwards, you hike downhill to the springs and uphill back to your car). Contrary to what the ranch owner and other reviews online say, the hike is very simple (other than the hike back, which is very strenuous). There are literally two turns and when you pay to enter, you're provided with a map, just don't hike in flip flops. If I'm every back in SoCal again, I will be returning!
I saw this posted on my Facebook SEVERAL times by Roadtrippers. The location is less than an hour from where I grew up and I had NEVER heard of these ledges! A great place any season, so much to see here!!
Best drive in the city (editing the tunnels east-bound), just prepare yourself for the natives who think the tunnels while eat them (watch out for brake lights!!)
Most underrated view of Pittsburgh. Far enough from the city that you can see stars in the sky on a clear, moonless evening! It's so great to see the rivers split the city, also! Additionally, this is THEE BEST place to view a summer sunrise in Pittsburgh, you get to watch the barges shuffle around the city as the sun rises through the buildings.
Literally one of the wildest places I've EVER been to. Regardless to how far out of the way this is, you will not be disappointed. Great statues, beautiful wildlife & plants (which includes free-roaming peacocks) and strangely friendly locals. The tour is worth the $6 or whatever it costs. Sometimes they give free tours as well - just be sure to remove your shoes!!
Easy to get to, painted on the left side of Kroger - near the drive-thru pharmacy.
