Hiking Guide: Three awesome California jaunts

Land at LAX, explore from there

So this is the final instalment in my series of favourite hikes around the world.

All of them feature in This One Wild and Precious Life. If you want to catch up on the previous instalments…My Best Adventures in Europe can be found here. And My Favourite UK hikes are here. Plus A Few Great Australian Trails. Most recently I shared Two Destination Hikes:

Hiking Guide: Two "destination" hikes

This series is only available to the subscriber community (although the first one here is free to all.)

Oh, and I’ve now put all the hikes and hiking resources in one spot on the home page (see “Top Hikes” in the navigation bar).

Today I’ll wrap things up with three trips that you can do ex-Las Angeles. I always hike when I’m in LA….it’s surprisingly easy to do. Below are:

• A hike you can do within an hour of downtown (with an awesome lunch stop);

• A guide to Joshua Tree (again, with food experiences included)';

• Plus a multi-day camping excursion in the Sierra Nevada.
