Getting to know the mountains of Central CA again. 💗This hike to Corlieu Falls in Oakhurst CA, offers some gorgeous views and nice toe dips into the water.
.
We parked on the south entrance, which took us on a longer hike, it's a traditional uphill hike, vs the north trail head where you start by descending onto the trail.
.
One of my fave parts of the south trail head is the lush fern forest you pass. ❤️ 🌿
.
I have done both hikes, the south trail head offers different views and easier water access right at the beginning of the trail. It is more of a climb as you're going uphill the whole time. It's more of a workout, I'd label It beginner to moderate depending on your skill level.
.
There is a section of the trail missing if you want to go past the little board walk where you view the waterfall. It's nothing major, but does make it tougher to get up the mountain. You can either go into the ditch and climb out of it or hold onto a log and hike over it.
.
Water levels are high right now and the stream is more of a river. Please stay on the trails and leave no trace.

py Earth Day. 🌎 💖
.
There's a lot to be said about Earth and all the ways that we could do better to take care of her. She gives us life. Without her, we don't exist in human form.
.
Without Earth, our mental health suffers. We feel something is missing, but we don't know exactly what it is. The more we truly know Earth, the more we will respect her and protect her. As much as we exploit her for profit, she can not be bought. She will always rise up with or without us.
.
Earth, nature, has brought me healing, freedom, courage, confidence, peace, love, clarity, peace of mind, and so much more. She has given me clarity in times of confusion and despair. She's made my happy days happier. She's helped me form beautiful and deep connections with others and myself.
.
Once I started to dig into me and deepen my understanding of me, I wandered deeper into the forests and healed. I can't explain in words all the ways nature, Earth, has helped me or all that she does for me. I just know when I'm engulfed in her beauties, I feel full, happy, childlike, and I am present.
.
Corporations claimed this day because they don't truly honor Earth, they exploit her daily and try to make up for it on Earth day. Electric cars aren't the answer, I'd like to see real effort from corporations and our politicians.
.
What does Earth mean to you?
