The Duffel Bag

Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.

Down distant paths for unmapped miles.

Heads forget but hearts remember:

The art of living knows no bounds.

Arcata Community Forest Hike

We got in a 4.5 mile hike early Saturday morning at the Arcata Community Forest.

We have heard a lot of good things about this community park and hiking here has been on our list for awhile. It's a trail system in the redwoods just above the Humboldt town of Arcata and Humboldt State University. It seemed like a very popular spot among the locals and after hiking there we can see why.

If you go, research on-line what trails you want to hike and then download a good map or put the route on your phone or GPS. We found many hiking and MTB trails spurring off the main trail we hiked and can see how it could be confusing for the first time visiting hiker.
