Happy Friday! It’s been raining/flooding ALL wee Happy Friday! It’s been raining/flooding ALL week but it looks like this weekend we can get out safely! I’m hoping these dry river crossings are full of water when we go back! This is Hunting Hallow Road it’s over 6 miles long but we never go that far. The trail crosses over Coyote Creek multiple times, it’s dry from summer til our late winter rains. There are usually newts, frogs, snakes and tadpoles until early summer. It’s a flat trail and we always see something interesting when we go. . . . #castateparks #henrycoestatepark #huntinghallow #gilroy #southbaytrail #hikemore #kidswhohike #1000hoursoutside #adventurekids #adventurefamily #outdoorkids #outdoorfamily #tinybigadventure #raisethemwild #keepthemwild #getoutside #bayareatrails #bayareahikes #themeyerlife #hikingwithkids #adventuringwithkids #familieswhohike #createadventure
Look for the light. This trail was just what we n Look for the light. This trail was just what we needed: tall redwood trees, sun streaming through the forest, woodpeckers and mushrooms galore. This is the Redwood Trail to the Blue Springs Trail it’s a 1.1 mile loop through the middle of a redwood forest. Mount Madonna County Park is full of amazing trails. . . . #themeyerlife #santaclaracountyparks #mountmadonna #mountmadonnacountypark #southbaymoms #southbaytrail #southbayhiking #bayareatrails #bayareahiking #outdoorfamily #outdoorkids #1000hoursoutside #hikingwithkids #kidswhohike #familieswhohike #getoutside #weneedmorewild #keepthemwild #anywherethatswild #tinybigadventure #adventureanywhere #adventurefamily
Another close to home gem of a trail. Harvey Bear Another close to home gem of a trail. Harvey Bear Ranch has so many great trails. This is the Coyote Ridge Trail, the whole loop is about 4 miles but we only did about 1.5 miles. We are working on building up our hiking stamina after we didn’t hike for almost a year because our youngest has juvenile arthritis. . . . #themeyerlife #santaclaracountyparks #southbayhiking #southbaytrail #bayareahikes #bayareahiking #harveybearranch #harveybear #bayareatrails #gilroy #getoutside #outdoorfamily #outdoorkids #adventurekids #1000hoursoutside #keepthemwild #weneedmorewild #anywherethatswild #50mileswithin50miles #tinybigadventure #kidsthathike #familiesthathike #hikingwithkids
Yesterday we played in the rain. Winter in our are Yesterday we played in the rain. Winter in our area can bring rain and we are so thankful when it rains because we are in a drought and need all we can get. I love how my kids love to be out in the rain, they got soaked and cold and then came inside and warmed up with some hot coco. . . . #1000hoursoutside #themeyerlife #weneedmorewild #runwildmychild #raisethemwild #keepthemwild #wildandfreechildhood #getoutside #getoutsidetogether #createadventure #adventurekids #outdoorkids #adventurefamily #outdoorfamily #outdoorfamilyadventures #getoutdoors #getoutside

We have been adventuring locally recently and we h We have been adventuring locally recently and we have discovered so many new and amazing local trails. Sometimes I can get so focused on going to the big fun well known places that I forget about all the beautiful places within 50 miles of us! This is the Loop trail at Mount Madonna Park (which currently has no entrance fee). It had over a dozen mushroom varieties, tons of banana slugs and a few California newts, plus that glorious forest smell! . . . #50mileswithin50miles #mountmadonna #santacruzmountains #southbaytrail #bayareahiking #bayareahikes #bayarea #southbayhiking #southbay #tinybigadventure #outdoorfamily #familiesthathike #kidsthathike #outdoorkids #getoutsidesafely #getoutside #getoutsideandplay #getoutsidemore #adventurefamily #createadventure #anywherethatiswild #raisethemwild #wildandfree
