<\/a>Take a Halloween Hike! And “Spooky Trails to You.”<\/p><\/div>\n
Halloween always makes me think of the large number of California locales with deathly and devilish names that I\u2019ve hiked to over the years. In Southern California, trails lead to the Devil\u2019s Punchbowl in the Mojave Desert and Devil\u2019s Canyon in the San Gabriel Mountains. For a devil of a time, follow Devil\u2019s Slide Trail into the San Jacinto Mountains or the Devil\u2019s Backbone Trail up to Mt. Baldy.<\/p>\n
California\u2019s national parks have their share of trails to scary-sounding places. Take a hike in Devil\u2019s Postpile National Monument or trek to Bumpass Hell and Devil\u2019s Kitchen in Lassen Volcanic National Park.<\/p>\n
Death Valley National Park is likely the nation\u2019s best place for a Halloween hike. Hit the trail to the Funeral Mountains, Skull Mountains, Coffin Peak, Deadman\u2019s Pass, Dante\u2019s View, Devil\u2019s Golf Course or Hell\u2019s Gate.<\/p>\n
Here’s wishing you Happy Halloween and Happy Trails.<\/p>\n
Hike On,
