>>2751133Started SOBO on the long trail today. Pretty rainy and brutally humid. I'll check in and post pics every once in a while if there's interest.
>>2753883hmm is that old growth?australia?
>>2751133>mfw i can hear this pictureOut west has more epic mountains and sweeping views but by god do I miss appalachia some times
>>2753934an old pic
>>2753934This waterfall was hell to get to. The shortest way involved a road that rapidly degraded from paved to dirt to big-rutted rocky wide ATV trail, had to turn around, go the other way, which was paved until the last 3/4 mile, then rough dirt road again, then when I got there there were TWO large groups there with kids making tons of noise and I eventually had to ask the kids swimming in the falls to move so I could get a photo.
>>2753934Fellow Appalachian who got dragged out west (I’m going to presume it was for job or family because it was family for me) it feels bad man. I haven’t really gone out being out here because I’m in the SW and I just don’t appreciate the desert that much
>>2753969the desert's a beautiful place but in a harsh way.love the desert sunsets and evenings, there is nothing quite like it. But i really hate going /out/ in the middle of the day with no shadeBack in appalachia I could hike without sunscreen because of all the trees and shade, and if it was a real hot day you just find a nice cool spot next to the brook trout streams to relax. I miss that sometimes
this is supposed to be a road, not a trail
>>2753894It’s the Metropolitan Natural Park in Panama. Not sure if it’s old growth

California has a lot of freedom hating faggots that are the antithesis to all that is good and natural, and they sure are trying to destroy it, but man this state is pretty. Sonoma coast I hiked around today a bit.
>>2754128Redwoods are kino. Always a reminder to look up in the woods it's pretty neat
>>2754129Retarded forgot the pic
Last one from the day hiking back on the trail.
>>2754128Tough to beat the redwoods but SoCal can be nice too
