Hike Day

Any suggestions for a good Day Trip in Southern California?

I want to go to a good Day Hike in the morning in a place Southern California (Orange County area), but all the sites I've found online are not useful at all or you have to register and give them information credit card. I have a book of hiking, but it is very confusing and I would like to hear more from someone who has actually done up cool Anyone S. California and have a recommendation?

I'm not from S. Cal, but I've been there a few times (our factory is 5 miles from John Wayne Airport). An area I found interesting was that of Big Bear Lake. He had open-pit mines of gold there for many years and have the feeling that at any time a horse or cart would come around the curve (cowboy, as a decoration). I found a trail near Sugarloaf MTN. which began in 7500 and 10,000 feet feet But I started to hike around 11:00 a.m. and 3:30 I suddenly realized I was going to be dark by 5 (autumn), so I ran down.

Selecting the Best Hiking Socks

The hiking boots are possibly the most important piece of equipment, but have you thought about any other footwear, like socks? Believe it or not, selecting the Best Hiking Socks for your needs might be just as vital as selecting the right hiking boot. Even if you have the perfect boot, selecting the incorrect sort of socks, could ruin your adventure. Before beginning a hike, you need to select a pair of socks that is precisely designed to protect your feet.

Hiking socks are available in a selection of styles. Each one is designed for a particular type of hike. They also come in an assortment of materials, each with their own flaws and benefits. When choosing the Best Hiking Socks, thinking about these items is paramount:

Cotton isn’t suggested for any long walks. Cotton is not able to wick (capability to grab moisture and pull it away from your skin) Also, when it gets wet, the socks provide almost no warmth. Finally, the drying process is really slow. So be forwarned, most everyday socks are composed of cotton.

There are four basic kinds of socks to decide on for your next trip:

Liners – These are extraordinarily lightweight and are to be worn inside a thicker outer sock. They have great wicking capacities and add another layer to help keep blisters from appearing.

Lightweight – Choose this type for warmer day short hikes. They’re going to provide some warmth, but they also assist with comfort and wicking.

Mid-Weight – These provide more warmth and cushion than the lightweight type. You may wear this type with a liner on chillier day hikes.

Heavy-Weight – These are the most durable of the hiking socks they are manufactured for long multi-day hikes. They are the thickest available and are usually worn during chillier hikes. They supply the most padding of all the sock styles.

Always remember that it is not sufficient to choose the proper boot, you need to also decide on the proper sock. Having the best hiking socks for your hike could help to save your feet. Don’t wear the right boot and the incorrect socks.
