Fall Colors hike, seeking recommendations
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 6:11 pm
Hi Everyone,
I was hoping I could solicit some recommendations for a good fall Aspen hike. I know we're probably still a month away from having any decent color but I am trying to plan a trek that meets the following criteria:
-Proximity to Napa. I'm hoping we can find something decent within a 3 1/2 hour drive of our house in Napa, so I'm looking for options in the Sierras east of Sac or perhaps up north toward Shasta?
-Relatively short distance from trailhead. I'll be hiking with my son on my back, who's 16 months old. He's good for about four miles round trip before he starts to get fussy.
-Class 1 or Class 2 the whole way, for the same reason.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
