Hiking is a wonderful activity. It\u2019s a chance to experience nature<\/strong> and to feel a part of it, to get some valuable exercise and to have some fresh air. It can be easy work or hard work, done with children or even older generations. It is a great pastime for solitude if you need to think some things through. But it\u2019s also great doing it in a group or with a partner, as it can be a really nice bonding opportunity for you, with no distractions but whoever you\u2019re with. California<\/strong><\/a> is a great hiking state and has a huge hiking community. Some of its walks are up there with the most famous in the world, whilst others are hidden gems, that only those in the know will have heard about. Whatever you\u2019re looking for, here are 10 incredible hikes in California, in no particular order.<\/p>\n

Yosemite<\/strong> is one of the most famous national parks in the world<\/strong>, with people travelling far and wide to take in its serenity and beauty. Slightly less well known is the fact that Yosemite boasts the US\u2019 tallest waterfall, a fact that you\u2019re unlikely to miss if you go on this particular hike since the main hike ends up at the fall itself. Going all the way to the waterfall is tough, a full day\u2019s hike, but there are variants that are as stunning if you don\u2019t have the inclination.<\/p>\n

Going across Sonoma County this hike takes you out to the cost, just under two hours drive from San Francisco. The amazing thing about this hike is the sheer diversity of landscape, from the redwood forest<\/strong> to rocky coastline<\/strong>. It\u2019s a proper hike at six miles, but the sandy beach destination makes it all worth it.<\/p>\n

Mount Shasta<\/h2>\n

A towering mountain capped in snow, this is a location that offers up a plethora of hikes, all around it. Some might consider heading for the summit. But the Gray Butte Trail<\/strong>, at two hours, could prove more manageable with no less beautiful and spectacular scenery.<\/p>\n
