1. PCH Scuba
My experience with PCH Scuba was about as good as it gets. First off, my fiancee & I bought the Groupon deal for $399 per student, and the value you get for this price is ridiculous. Cannot come close to beating it. Class training, expert advice,…More »
2. Joshua Tree National Park
Twentynine Palms, CA 92277
(760) 367-5500
Categories:
Parks,
Hiking,
Campgrounds
One of the best places to camp EVER!
The stone formations all over the place just give you a prehistoric feel to it. My friends & I went camping here during the New Year for a change of scenery from the partying scene. It was 17 degrees at night. Our…More »
3. Yosemite National Park
This national park is really a treasure. Its one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life. There are multitudes of different activities from rafting, biking, hiking, camping, etc. There are few words to describe it. I suggest the first…More »
4. Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
Las Vegas, NV 89161
(702) 515-5350
Categories:
Parks,
Hiking,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
As long as its not scorching hot, this is the place to be out here. For those outdoorsy types, its beautiful. After spending an entire week in the city, my friends & I got out of a club around 8 or 9 in the morning. We needed a place to recharge, but…More »
5. Hangar 18
Great climbing gym. The various climbs are great for every level of climber. The staff was friendly and helpful with everything. Even when one of my friends locked his keys in his car, they did everything they could to help us out. Their instruction…More »
6. Pasadena Hiking Pacers
I was looking for a group like this to get more consistent outdoorsy activity going on for a while. I finally joined them for a rainy/wet 3.5 mile hike a couple of weeks ago with my fiance. I'm really glad we went. I hit up a 10 mile hike with them…More »
7. Catamount Ski Area
Went here for the Adventure Park. It was a lot of fun for a big group of us. We climbed all over the platforms wires and zip lines. This place is a good spot for beginners and intermediate climbers and such. Most of our group did not have much…More »
8. Rockreation Sport Climbing Center
Nice gym. Helpful staff. Good variety of obstacles. They had a traversing wall, nice bouldering area, lots of different climbs and another wall to practice on the different grabs and techniques.
We liked this gym a lot when we went and since we had…More »
9. Eaton Canyon Natural Area
Pasadena, CA 91107

Summer Camps
Pretty easy hike. Nice coverage over head, so its probably good for the summer months. During the spring is the best time to go, because you get the cooler weather combined with the fact that the waters are running nicely. There are quite a few water…More »
10. Sand Dune Park
I was bummed when this place closed. It was an awesome way to get some burn in your legs and get into shape. I heard rumors that it might have opened again or might be opening again soon, I guess, but these are unsubstantiated as of right now. I…More »
11. Monterey Bay Aquarium
This is probably the best aquarium that I've been to so far.
The place is HUGE. There's so much to see that you really need to set aside a whole day of it. I've been here more than once and each time, I'm always fascinated by everything they have. Its…More »
12. BYOBW- Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race
You know that winding street in SF that you've always wanted to just roll down at full speed? Well every Easter, you get your chance!
Its a great experience, great energy from the crowds. Its just all out fun! There's nothing like a bunch of people…More »
13. Bridge to Nowhere
I like the scenery, and the bridge is cool. Its a pretty easy hike for my tastes, though. Its all pretty much flatland. There are A LOT of water crossings, so be prepared to get wet, unless you are as ninja-like as me and a couple of my companions…More »
14. Chantry Flat Recreation Area
This is a pretty chill area. There's quite a few trailheads that wind around the hills here, so you have lots of options. There's some really easy ones for the beginners, too. If you're walking to the first falls, its pretty easy and from there, you…More »
15. Inspiration Point via Castle Canyon
Fantastic hike. It is both nice in distance and elevation. The hike can be done by beginners, but it will be a challenge for them. This is a great trail to work up the sweat and get the blood flowing. The halfway point of the old ruins is an awesome…More »
16. Escondido Falls
This is a fun hike in a great location. The hike to the falls isn't very long, but its pretty chill. There's a lot of trees to shade you for the most part and being by the beach doesn't hurt the climate situation.
The only downside is that the falls…More »
17. Wawona Campground
I love Yosemite, but I don't like staying in the huts. I like roughing it, or as close to roughing it as possible. This place is away from the crowds. Its a little more secluded than the main valley & you're not that far away from everything. The…More »
18. Irvine Lake Mud Run
July 17th, 2011 Mud Run!
Came to this event with a big group of friends all costumed as characters from Marvel vS. Capcom. The event was bigger than previous times that it was held. The parking and all of that good stuff was very well organized and…More »
