Whiting Ranch


Fall 2011

The entrance to Whiting Ranch [nobodyhikesinla.com link] is like crawling through the wardrobe closet or stepping onto Platform 9 3/4; you've got to close your eyes and believe. I'm not going to tell you how to find the entrance to Whiting Ranch. You're just going to have to follow your heart, it knows the way, probably. Seriously though, until you're on the trail and pass through the other side, you'd think it was an elaborate Rainforest Cafe lobby without cash registers.

You can follow your heart or you can trust Dan to lead you to places you've only dared to visit in your dreams. This macho macho man knows fear very well. He respects it, calculates it, welcomes it and in a heartbeat throws it out the window. "The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far is as needed?" [Boondocks Saints].

Whiting Ranch is a hidden treasure. Once on the main trail, it branches off to many different paths which lead to different landmarks. The one time I hiked there, I went the Red Rocks path which is rumored to look absolutely stunning during sunset on a clear day. Unfortunately, I was not present when Dan undertook this hike with Nhi and Mark [not sure what path they took]. I heard good things though, like Dan's disregard for fences and "Do Not Trepass" signs, something like that. Anyways, I have photographic proof thanks to Nhi's camera! Dan cannot escape the truth, which is out there, and on this blog; he loves hiking.

Proof!
