Complete Lost Coast
I joined Joel Lanz for a fantastic tour of the entire Lost Coast from the mouth of the Mattole River at the north end to Usal Beach at the south end. The Lost Coast is the most undeveloped stretch along the entire West Coast of the United States and is characterized by steep and…
Mount Diablo
A couple weeks ago I helped out at the Pacific Coast Trail Runs (PCTR) Mount Diablo event. It was a great time and I got to run some of the trails on the north side of the mountain in the early morning hours. Despite being early June, the wildflowers were everywhere and water was still…

Edgewood is a wonderful mixture of oak woodland and serpentine grassland with grand views of the San…

It’s one of my most frequented trail running destinations. The only way to reach the park is by trail through Huddart County Park along Richard’s Road Trail. Six miles of trail are…
