Get Out There Sonoma County!

 

                                                                    So what gives?

    What's the big idea?  So the idea I had for this blog, was to throw out different events and adventures each week that people could enjoy in and around Sonoma County. Will this work? Absolutely! 😉  At the very least, at the end of all this I will be better equipped with more knowledge of Sonoma County to take my own level of shenanigan's up a notch. He he.  And at the most, and what I hope for, is that a few of these events and adventures find there way home and into the hearts of the people that seek them. And while were throwing out a wish list, another hope of mine is to form a sense of community or fellowship with all of you, as we explore this area of Sonoma County which I love and choose to call home. 👪

So without further ado.......                                                                 

   

                                             "Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls"

     "Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used to".  Uh NO! ha! If you have never heard this song by TLC it's o.k., were still going to hook you up with the 411 on this Sonoma County waterfall spot.  Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, located at 2605 Adobe Canyon Rd, in Kenwood is the first adventure I feature in this blog. Kenwood is between Sonoma and Santa Rosa about 25 minutes coming from each direction respectively. I chose this spot first because we are still barely in the rainy season and without the rain we got no waterfall!  I personally have never been here and am planning on going next week some time. Man tbh my hike game is a little weak, so if I keep throwing hikes in here I might have to invest in a solid pair of clod hoppers and a fancy water bottle. 😊 

    There are multiple trails to choose from in addition to the 25-foot seasonal waterfall trail. They range from family and accessibility hikes, to timed out 1, 2, and more than 3 hour hikes. In addition to the breathtaking views that include Mount Saint Helena, Mount Diablo, Mount Tamalpais, and the San Francisco Bay, as of January 30th the campground is open as well, while still remaining in accordance with the social distancing protocols. (Camping is only $35 a night, and there are a variety of tents you can rent as well!) Come early or late because of parking ($10), to be sure of entry due to the popularity of parks now days and dogs, (fido) will have to sit this one out I'm afraid. 🐕😒 Park hours are from 6am - 8pm, (but I also see 10pm too??).  Anyhow here is a link to their web page (I hope) Incredible Hiking, Camping, and Family Fun (sugarloafpark.org) to check out for any other information.

   Thanks for reading (don't throw things I will get better, I promise, he he) and have a great time. See you next week!
