When itโs not raining, Castle Rock State Park offers amazing hiking and rock climbing just under an hour away from Santa Cruz! ๐ฒ๐ฅพ
And when it is raining, you can still get out there and have some adventures! ๐ง๏ธ
We went out last weekend in a break from the rain and sent some climbs at Indian Rock ๐ง๐ฝ
Just remember to bring water, snacks, warm clothes, and plan beforehand as there is no cell service there, adventure on!

Can anyone guess where this iconic Redwood Tree ring is in Santa Cruz? ๐ฒThe canopies of redwood trees support entire ecosystems of wildlife, insects, plants, and they even create soil up there from decomposing leaves ๐. Next time you go mountain biking, running, or hiking, take a glance up and wonder at the marvels towering above you! #hiking #santacruz #adventuresportsjournal
Last season was one for the record books โ when Mammoth Mountain received over 700 inches of snow and stayed open for more than 270 days of skiing and riding. โท๐โ
โ
While skiers and riders played in the snow well into summer, the Mammoth construction teams were hard at work replacing chairlifts, building new activities, and improving Mammothโs already robust snowmaking system. ๐ช๐ฝ โ๏ธโ
