  1. After wandering the lower lands of Ocean Ranch, I moved a short way to wander the short (half mile) loop around Lighthouse Ranch. This was the location of the second lighthouse marking Humboldt Bay and there's not much left of it now. But there are views and benches to enjoy them from.

  6. Got in a little bit of snowshoeing on a day hike out to see the canyon along Swift Creek, a popular Trinity Alps Wilderness location in the summer, and finally check around an old cabin.

  7. Off to see another waterfall, this one so great it is called Great Falls! I also experienced a few miles of historic canal tow path, wandered past some mining history, but failed to get going on the particularly rough bit of trail.

  12. We headed out for a bunch of little hikes among the peaks of the Lassics, which tend to feature in the minds of the outdoorsy locals because they can be seen from so many places.
