There are many reasons why I've been terribly inconsistent in my blogging. The key one is that I'm trying to travel as much as possible this year, and in between travels I'm preoccupied planning the next adventure.
The plans for this year are very ambitious. In a week I'll be going to Europe for a month, where I plan to visit Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Poland and Germany. Soon after that trip, I'll be going to
Rocky Mountain and
West North Central States for three weeks, where I plan to photograph nine national parks that I haven't visited before. As soon as that trip is over, I'll be flying to Alaska for more national parks and wildlife photography. And the culmination of my summer will be also its highlight: backpacking the southern half of
John Muir Trail.
After that last trip, I hope to be able to slow down a bit, so that I can have time to process all the photographs accumulating on my laptop, as well as to work on some personal goals that require me to stay put rather than sleep five nights a week in a hotel.
Anyway, the purpose of this blog post is to let all my California friends know that the weather is perfect right now to go hiking on one of many waterfall trails that we have scattered all over the Bay Area and other parts of California. With the snow starting to melt in the mountains and recent rains, all the waterfalls are at their peak, waiting for you to pay them a visit. Don't disappoint them!
If you want my personal recommendation, the Cataract Falls Trail would be it. Take a look at the photos below to see how spectacular it looked just five days ago. Enjoy and let me know if you find some other great waterfall trails that I might not know about.
