Hiking
This is a good trail to get away from the crowds in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Unlike most of the park the focus here isn't on the Giant Sequoia trees, but on the volcanic history of the area. Along the way you'll be on an exposed hill so bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat. This trail is also great for wildflowers in the spring, but poison oak is abundant in some sections so be careful to stay on trail.
