Thanks for checking out my blog. As a person who takes her dog hiking everywhere she goes, I do have suggestions on where you can take your dog! Wildflowers aren't quite out at MiWuk yet, but when they are in about a month, the railroad grade trail off of Southfork/Confidence Road, heading towards Lyons Dam is nice. Lower on the mountain right now, go to Table Mountain off of Shell Road in Jamestown. There is a great hike you can take through the oak trees if you park right at the gate, and then you can make your way up on top of Table Mountain where there are great views and flowers. Round trip from the gate is maybe 3 miles. The Red Hills BLM area right by Chinese Camp has great trails and the flowers are in peak right now! The Westside Rail Trail out of Tuolumne City on Cottonwood Road is an epic wildflower spot, and in about one-two weeks will be really worth the trip. All of these spots are dog friendly. Let me know if you want specific directions to any of them! Cheers, Julia Hey Daniel!

Thanks. Anyone have suggestions for a dog hike with wildflowers along 108 or not too far from Miwuk? Daniel Hi Julia, Looks gorgeous! Thanks.

I don't think we'll get to round about 500 inches. Six inches looks good at my house, makes nice avalanche snowballs flow off my steep roof. take care, Steve Perreira Dear Heather:

Living in the foothill regions of Southern California (at different times both south and now north of the San Gabriel Mountains) -- I have seen and even hiked some in and around Chaparral ecosystems -- in some areas, paths through Chaparral have been made. Loving all wildlife and wild plants, I enjoy it, too -- though I am more well known for my love of trees and forests. But we need a variety of ecosystems for Biodiversity in our wild lands.

Mosquitos were HORRIFIC everywhere above 7,000' even on the passes above 10,000'. Just in case they are still out in force be prepared with repellent and head net. Have fun! Karen.
