Sugarloaf State Park-Canyon Trail Hike


Sugarloaf State Park is close by and we try to get out here as much as we can. With saying that, it literally has been over 2 years since the last time we went (New Year's Day hike in 2010!). It is such a beautiful area, Zippy actually did some work here when he worked at the University in the GIS lab to do some mapping of Sudden Oak Death. He used to know the the park really well as he had to stare at maps of it all day long! We were looking forward to camping there this summer but it is uncertain whether or not there will be funding for the park so the campgrounds are closed as of now. I hope the state budget gets straightened out soon or else we are going to lose some beautiful parks!!

Grey had a blast climbing on all the rocks and jumping off any that he could find!

 Zippy makes me so nervous climbing with Zoe in the backpack
 It was a nice hike down to the bottom of the canyon and a long hike back up (especially when Grey didn't want to walk anymore!) He ended up in the back pack while Zippy and I took turns carrying Zoe in our arms!)




 Zoe wanted to climb the rocks like everyone else
 This one was the perfect size for her, she was so proud she could stand on it!
 my little guy is getting so big!
