i already checked out your paradise creek hike and we are going to be doing
that in march, I take middle school kids and do an adventure activity with
them once a month, so I am always looking for new ideas.

thanks

I love you comments about your hikes, i will try to stay up with them. I have a few that you may like too.

panoramic trail from glacier point to the valley, it goes by 2 waterfalls, we saw 2 bears on the trail, was great, about 8 miles unless you want to make it a loop and do the 4 extra miles from the valley back up to glacier point, not for the faint of heartl.

Point Reyes take the Tomales point trail, it is moderate 9.4 miles and you go through wild flowers, deer and herds of Elk

Chilnualna Falls in yosemite, it is over 9 miles but it is a great hike in the spring

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park northeast of Santa Cruz, it is a great grove of redwood trees, just did this one, we did 6.5 miles and had two river crossings, you can go farther easily and up to 4 river crossings, in winter and spring the river is up, and will require water shoes, in early fall, you still may need water shoes, but it is a good hike along the san Lorenzo river, the Salmon are running in the winter.

Wilder Ranch State Park and Ano Nuevo are relatively easy hikes and the two together might be 7-8 miles, but it is along the coast and is great, we went in April and the Elephant Seals were molting at Ano Nuevo.

Trail of the Sequoias starts at the General Sherman parking area and is a loop and is the distance range you are wanting, you go by a couple of large meadows and bears are frequently in the area as we saw two of them. You can also choose to have a second vehicle at Crescent Meadow and then do the hike up Moro rock, not a long hike but worth the effort, great views
