2019 HIking Recap

December 31 ,2019

Well 2019 is coming to a close and in regards to hiking, it has been a busy and exciting year for us.  We finished the year with more than 100 hikes for over 500 miles - both new personal bests for us.  We also hiked for over 63 miles in one month (March) and did more long distance hikes than any other year.

We also went camping and hiking at Alfred A Loeb SP, Bullards Beach SP, and Carl Washburne SP which included a visit to the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, one of our favorite coastal trail systems.

We did do a number of new hikes this year which included a first time visit to the Spence Mountain Trail System in Klamath Falls.  They have a number of new trail systems and trails in Klamath Falls and we hope to get back there in 2020 to hike a few of the new trails just completed this year.

 We hope you had a chance to get out and hike and enjoy all the beauty of nature.  Hope you will continue to follow along with us as we hike in 2020.  Happy New Year.

Trekking Together,
Glenn & Carol (and Katie)
