Last summer I hiked near Lake Tahoe.  It is so beautiful there.
Yes, it is nice there. Have you ever hiked the Appalachian Trail?
No I haven't, but it is one of the trails I really want do.
There are so many nice trails to hike in Lake Tahoe. Have you tried Mount Tallac?
Yes - I hiked it many years ago, when I was younger and in much better shape. LOL.  I'm thinking of taking a trip to the Pinnacles in central California.
Great choice! It is interesting how the Pinnacles formed National Park U.S.
Yes - I think it's great that it's now a National Park.  I went there as a kid, when it was just a State Park.  I didn't ever get to see the famous caves though.
There are also famous volcanos as well. Some 23,000,000 years old!
I didn't know that! At the Pinnacles?  That must be why the trails are so amazing - formed on volcanos?
In fact, The San Andreas Fault actually split one in half!
That's amazing.  I do know all about the San Andreas Fault.  I lived in the Bay Area for many years.  I'm much happier here in Virginia.  Not much worries about earthquakes and lots of nice places to hike.
