One Trail At A Time

Welcome to Outdoor Travels 101!

My name is Ernie, and I have been a hiking enthusiast for over 20 years. I reside in California, where I do most of my hiking. I love hiking in California so much that I wrote a book about it titled “Hiking California,” which details 150 of my favorite hiking trails. I currently run a YouTube channel called OutdoorTravels101, where I post informational hiking trail videos.

Each of my hiking guides is complete with trail maps and guides. I hope the information and experience I have gained over the years can be helpful to other hikers. I hope to see you out on the trails!
