𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 🥾 ➖ Waking up at 4am to arrive at the trail at 6:30 IS always worth it, despite how sucky it seems. ➖ The one’s willing to do this with you without even knowing you, ARE the one’s who are the go-with-the-flow, find-joy-in-everything, just-happy-to-be-outdoors kinda people you were hoping for. ➖ Do a group intro and some kind of ice breaker to start conversations pre-hike. Also share any helpful tips about the hike (mine was about not approaching the cows and looking out for cow pies, being careful not to twist your ankle on the rocks, packing out our trash, and obv not picking or stomping through any flowers). ➖ Take breaks and continuously check in with your group (“Do we wanna keep going or are we ready for margaritas?”) ➖ Bring extra TP, sunscreen, and group snacks for everyone to share (will do this next time)! ➖ Make a little recap video or photo collage for fun memories. Also offer to take photo’s of them while on the hike. ➖ Organize a brunch or a sit-down event afterwards for those that would like to stick around and chat without gasping for air. This also allows you more time to get to know each hiker (and what their zodiac sign and food order says about them lol). ➖ Have everyone share their socials afterwards if they’d like to, and connect! What’d I miss? Put some more hosting tips in the comments! 🎒 📍: Kojomk’awi land Location : North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve (fee) 1st Photo Credit : @damoreuknow #northtablemountain #phantomfalls #oroville @woshgroup (at North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbno1t7vzBy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Lost in Paradise (don’t send help). 💦 In March last year, Mike and I hiked North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve, surrounded by wildflowers (and halfway through our hike, a ZOO of a crowd and then the craziest parking chaos I’ve ever seen). A couple weekends ago, I took my friends @sarahsodysseys and @rebecca.wes.photo (a month before the busy wildflower season) and led us to the iconic Phantom Falls, passing Ravine Falls and pit stopping at Hollow Falls on our way out. This month still had some flowers, flowing water, and no crowds! 🌼 North Table Mountain is an area you should research before going. It requires a less than $5/person CDFW Land’s Pass to be purchased online before recreating, and trails are not clearly marked. It’s easy to get lost. It’s home to ancient lava flows so there’s a lot of loose rocky terrain. Over 15 waterfalls cover the reserve! This is such a stunning area and it’s quickly become one of my favorite NorCal hiking destinations. 🥾 I’ll be leading a group hike back here sometime in March to come back for more flowers! Who wants to chase waterfalls with us?! 📍: Kojomk’awi land #phantomfalls #northtablemountain #oroville #visitcalifornia (at North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZlfKVgrS0C/?utm_medium=tumblr
