Foothills in the Springtime

Central California offers some of the most splendid Springtime foothill hiking available and the Millerton Lake area, near Fresno, is no exception.

I'm often amazed at how few people I see on these trails. I should be happy, more beauty I don't have to share, right? But I cannot help feeling sorry for those who are missing out. After all, there is almost too much beauty; the Oak dotted foothills are colored with shades of blue, purple, orange, yellow and pink. Eagles circle the skies above and deer sightings are quite common.

There's no better time to start hiking than right now. Grab a friend, some water, add a bit of food to share and enjoy the beautiful world we're spinning on.
