Simple Secrets yo Achieve Fast Weight Loss

By Ricardo d Argence

Take time to consider how long it took to put the weight on, before you start your weight loss marathon. While it would be wonderful to lose weight instantly the only safe and practical way is to take your time. Even so, there are a variety of things you can try to start losing weight. Some of these ideas may work more quickly than you initially thought.

This might seem a little far fetched, but bear with me a minute. Reduce as much stress as possible by meditating, resting, reading, taking time for yourself, or whatever works to help reduce your sensation of stress. Our bodies are designed to slow down the metabolism function when we are stressed because the types of things that typically cause stress are times when food is scarce.

While it is recommended to eat constantly throughout the day, junk food needs to be avoided. At a minimum each day, you should eat six small meals, spaced regularly. This will fool your body into believing that the next meal is running on schedule and thereby metabolizing the last meal resulting into faster metabolism.

Proper absorption and digestion of food is inhibited because human bodies contain toxins, fecal matter, and other unnecessary junk. To quickly reduce your weight, give yourself more energy and a healthier physical appearance, try a complete body cleanse.

I am almost positive that you are not drinking enough water. Do you know how much you should be drinking? Using this calculation, if you weigh approximatey 180 pounds then you would want to consume at least 90 ounces of water each day. The number you get when dividing your weight in pounds by two is equivalent to the number of ounces needed for your daily water intake. Note: tap water is not an option. It is most widely recommended to drink water which has been filtered using reverse osmosis rather than distilled water. If you can't stand the taste of water, then add fresh squeezed lemons, but no sugar or sugar substitutes.

Ideally, engaging in forty-five to sixty minutes of aerobic exercise is ideal, but a brisk walk for thirty minutes to start with will do wonders for your weight.

Most of us do not get balanced nutrition in our diets. It would be hard to eat enough food to give us what we need, so add supplements to your diet. Be careful to not be tempted to get them from Wal-Mart or a chain vitamin outlet like GNC. If you want results, go to a natural health food store and ask a knowledgeable clerk for recommendations.

When you are losing weight and feeling good, you should let everyone know. Don't wait until you have results. Just say it. When you are dieting it is important to focus on the success that you have. While its easy to see the failures and set backs more than the success, if you focus on these things you may not be as successful with your diet. Bottom line: If you can BELIEVE IT, you can ACHIEVE IT!

To lose for optimal health that you wants to figure out how much weight you need. The next step is to find a young child that weights about the same and walk for five minutes while holding that child. If you can't find a child, fill up a gym bag with books until it weighs the same amount that you want to lose. You will be so relieved to finally put it down that you will feel amazing, just think of how you feel when you lose that much of you!

Being overweight is bad for you in so many areas of your life. The biggie is health areas, but your weight can also cause social, psychological, and relational problems. Don't you deserve better than that?

Vineyards and Wineries of Washington State

By Penelope SanMateo

Washington has increased its number of wineries by 400 percent in the last decade. Connoisseurs and the average wine consumer have found a new place to get great wines.

Modern technology has made the process of making wine more sophisticated but the talent to produce great wine is all in the hands of the vintner who uses skills developed over generations of great wine makers sharing their knowledge to have some of the best wines now available at the wineries in Washington.

If you were in France and drinking wine in the regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy you would be at the same exact latitude of the wine country in Washington. With all the positive things going for wine in Washington being designated as American Viticulture Area is certainly a plus!

No crowds, no hurry, no pressure. Isn't that what a vacation should be? You will experience the peace and pleasure of great countryside and great wine on a wine tour in Washington. Find the wine you like by going to the wine tastings offered by the different wineries. Find a great place to stay while in the area and make it the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation you have ever taken.

Full bodied reds and dry whites are both available at the wineries in Washington. Try them all, pick your favorite and enjoy the beauty of the state while you travel from winery to winery.

Swirl it, Smell it and Slurp it! Get your wine glass, pour in your favorite wine, then swirl it around the glass to get the air to it, smell the wonderful aroma of the wine and then slurp (quietly, gently please) a little to add more air to bring out the full flavor of the wine. The experience will be absolutely delightful.

If just 1% of the wine grapes of Washington are grown on the eastern side of the Cascades then you would think that it was a poor area for wine growers. In fact, it is a great area where the soil is right, the climate perfect and the growing season long to provide fully ripened, fruit flavored grapes with good acid levels and pleasing aromatics. This area will certainly become more of a draw to vintners in the time to come.

1825 saw the first wine grapes being planted in the state. The German, Italian and French immigrants planted the vines to produce wine for their own use. The commercial production didn't begin until the 1960's and then in the 70's it grew even more. Today there are new wineries opening in the state every couple of weeks.

This allows you to see more detail and gives you a more realistic perspective.

Tattoo artists will usually be willing to personalize artwork that is in their standard repertoire. Some will even design new artwork just for you if you tell them the details of what you are trying to achieve.

How To Halt Hair Loss

By Don Pedro

More and more people want to look younger the more wrinkles they discover on their face, the more they think about hair loss the more they facilitate the loss of hair. Hair loss is one of the key signs of age which most of us don't want to see happening to us.

Its interesting to discover how a hair gets weaker and weaker and then it shed off finally. It maintains a cycle. A special phase in that cycle is called telogan phase where the hair rests till it sheds. The number of hairs resting in this phase increases when there are some mental factors like stress, depression or tension playing from behind. So we should try to avoid all sorts of mental stress.

Chemotherapy is a major cause, which leads to drastic loss of hair. Chemotherapy is given to the patients suffering from cancer in order to reduce the harmful bio molecules in the body. But those ultra active chemicals do great damage to health and cause us to lose hair in a very short period of time.

There are some major causes of hair loss, which we are all aware of, like genetic factors and the aging process. But apart from these, the imbalance in the dihrotestosterone level in male is also responsible for hair loss in mail. DHI or Dihidrotestosterone is a hormone, derived from testosterone, which improves the blood circulation in the hair follicles. So a reduction in the level of DHI causes rapid hair loss.

In case of female hair loss increases during the period of puberty or when they are pregnant. But overall, men suffer more for hair loss than women.

Dihydrotestosterone is a male hormone, which is responsible for male sexual characteristics. It additionally facilitates blood circulation in the body. Any drop in DHI concentration hinders the blood supply in the skull and promotes hair loss.

Hair replacement surgery has also become much popular now a day, where hair from other part of the body or the skin of the body, which has the ability to grow hair, is cultivated and transplanted to cover the baldness. Dermatologists can perform these sorts of surgeries and solve the long lasting crisis for you.

Hair restoration surgeries another good way to get rid of baldness. This is the surgical process to transplant hair. When you decide to undergo such a surgery, you must consult your physician and he will suggest you where to undergo the surgery. Whatever you do, make it sure that you have got the right surgeon and he is a member American Academy of Dermatology.

An Easy Background Check You Can Use To Find Out Anyone's Past

By Glen Pearson

Have you ever needed to check up on someone to see what was in their past? You probably have and it is more than likely that running a background check on that person crossed your mind. A background check is an easy way to learn a lot of information about someone's past.

It once was that you would have to hire a private investigator in order to get a background check on someone. However, the internet has made the process much more convenient as you can run a background check on anyone from your own desk.

People will run background checks for various reasons. They might be checking into an employee's background or maybe you or someone in your family has started dating someone that you are curious about.

Many other people simply do a background check on themselves to see what comes up and to make sure everything is accurate. If any errors are found, you will have the appropriate contact information to make any corrections.

There are plenty of companies which provide this service through their websites. They maintain large databases of information and documents which can be searched.

A background check can turn up information on credit history, previous address, marriages, criminal records and other information. In many cases, you can learn a person's life story through these background checks.

However, these background checks are not usually free. While they are not terribly expensive, these companies charge a fee to recoup the costs of maintaining these databases. However, you can try something else to find some information before paying a fee.

You can try Googling someone first - enter their name (in quotes) followed by the city they live in e.g; "Jane Doe" Boston. Search and you may find some information.

Realistically, you probably won't find much of anything. Unless the person's name is truly unique, you are probably going to find "hits" on several other people that aren't the person you are actually looking for. It's also difficult to find in depth information this way. Nonetheless, it's worth a shot since it doesn't cost anything to try.

If a Google search fails to turn up the information you want, then you can go to a background check company instead. You should look for one which offers a money back guarantee so that if they fail to turn anything up, you won't have to pay.

The other tip is to find a company that charges a one-time membership fee for full access to their database and unlimited searches. This will let you pull-up as many background reports on as many people you want without having to pay for each search. You pay just the one-time.

Doing an online background check lets you feel like a private investigator right from home. It's an easy way to find out complete details on anyone and see exactly what is in their past.

Dating Anniversary Ideas

By Ada Denis

Spending some quality time with your partner on a romantic date should be a memorable occasion for your anniversary. You need dating anniversary ideas that will stimulate the emotions and connection that you have with your partner, while turning your special day into an event that will mean much to both of you. Here are some dating anniversary ideas to help you out:

Give A Memorable Gift

Giving an anniversary gift is one of the dating anniversary ideas that you should prepare in advance. You need to keep this little project from your partner a secret; give a romantic surprise when you he/she is unaware.

For starters, this idea requires that you ask your partner in a subtle way on what he/she wants to get from you.

Go On A Vacation With Your Partner

If you want to give your partner a grand time, then consider going out on a vacation as one of your dating anniversary ideas. Since you and your partner practically spent your anniversaries in restaurants, movies, malls, or even in nature parks in your area, then a different scene should make it an exciting adventure for both you and your loved one. Going out to the beach or touring in another city should be a nice change from the usual settings.

Recreate The First Day You Met

The first day when you met your partner is practically the best moments in both of your lives. In fact, this day is where the love started and is the main reason why you are currently having the time of your life in a stable relationship. Surprise your partner by bringing them to the place where you first met and follow through with the events that led after that.

You need to be a little creative in coming up with dating anniversary ideas if you want to turn the event into a memorable one for both you and your partner. It is common advice to throw your conservatism out the window and do something that you haven't done before - just to give this special occasion a little zest.

Should I Take My Ex Boyfriend Back?

By Maria Tames

Or should I just kill him on the spot? No seriously, a lot of girls ask themselves this question after a breakup.

Of course most girls don't actually want to hurt their ex boyfriend (physically), but they often think about it. Because let's be frank here.. guys can be such idiots!

And if your boyfriend broke up with you, or you broke up with your boyfriend, it doesn't really make a difference.. It is still you who is left wondering if you should take your ex boyfriend back.

You probably know that you have to be on your guard when your boyfriend broke up with you, and then later wants you back.

In a lot of cases, he is just trying to get you to have sex with him again. You know that, right?

It is very probable that you still have some physical attraction to him as well. After all he used to be your boyfriend for a reason, right? This makes it difficult for girls to resist the charms of their ex boyfriend, and even makes them wonder if they should get back together with him.

It's not so easy to give a general advice in these matters. Every single situation is different, and you have to consider the circumstances. Most people would at least suggest to get rid of a guy for good, if they cheated on you.

If your ex boyfriend cheated on you, the chances that he will ever become a trustworthy partner are slim. So if you are considering taking a cheating guy back, then you have to make really sure that he has changed.

If you decide you want to take your ex boyfriend back, it can be wise to read some good manual on how you can change his behavior. Otherwise, your ex boyfriend (and you) are likely to fall back into the same patterns that your relationship used to have. So in other words, you need to know some more about male psychology.

5 Home Remedies for Constipation

By Xylene Belita

Constipation (also known as Costiveness) is a condition in which a person has difficulty in expelling stool. It can be extremely uncomfortable and at times painful to defecate. The causes of constipation are varied.

Here are some natural home remedies for constipation that would help you prevent and stop constipation in its tracks:

1.Drink water regularly. At least 6 glasses of water a day would be very great and therapeutic. Large amounts of water aids quick digestion and enables easier bowel movement.

2.Adding roasted black gram powder to chapatti made of wheat including the husks too can enhance constipation relief.

3.Molasses which have high calorie content are also very good. Beware though as it has a strong taste and you'll want to add fruit juice or milk to it when taking it. All you really need is two tablespoonfuls of blackstrap molasses just before sleeping at night.

4.Half a cup of cabbage juice twice a day is also very effective in treating constipation.

5.If you got access to mango, take one in the morning right after brushing before breakfast, and one at night after dinner. Mangoes are very effective bowel movers. There is a sure guarantee that you'll have to "go" at least twice before nightfall.

How to Prepare Your Place for a Date

By Ada Denis

Quick, what's the first thing a girl notices when you invite her back to your place? Is it the parade of fire ants in the kitchen? Those weird splotches of mold and lichen covering the bathroom ceiling? The dust bunnies under the bed that have evolved fangs and flippers? The answer is all three, which means you have a lot of work to do to prepare your place for tonight's hot date. Here's how to go about it.

1. Clean the bathroom. Most guys tend to think of their bathrooms in functional terms, meaning a toilet (for example) should be no more or less clean than is required to do its job. As a result, what's "clean enough" to the average guy will be "unbelievably, repulsively filthy" to his distaff counterpart. Get a brush and mop and prepare to spend a few hours undoing the damage of the last two or three months (or years, if you've had a really long cold streak).

2. Wash the dishes--not just the dishes in the sink. Run all your plates, glasses and silverware through the dishwasher at least once and stack them neatly where they belong. You don't know who's going to "accidentally" open a cabinet, who will then "accidentally" scream and run out the door when she sees that giant spider putting on a bib and preparing to feast on a tasty fly.

3. Clean the bathroom again. You thought you did a pretty good job the first time, right? All you've done is reduce the filth level from "unbelievable and repulsive" to "careless and unsanitary." Take a toothbrush and scrub the grout between the tiles in the shower, then get down on your hands and knees and scour the underside of the toilet. What's another two hours of work when so much is at stake?

4. Dust and vacuum. If you have a hardwood floor, get out a broom and dustpan and sweep thoroughly. If you have a carpet, get out a vacuum and run it over every square inch (even those hard-to-reach spots that require you to contort your body into odd positions). Finally, get a dust mop and run it over every surface in your apartment, including bookcases, tables and your cat.

5. Clean your bathroom one more time. You really thought you were finished, didn't you? All you've done is reduce your bathroom amber-alert level from "careless and unsanitary" to "barely acceptable and possibly disease-free." Buy the strongest cleaning agent you can find and apply it to every square inch. (Remember to open the door for ventilation, though, lest your date arrive to find you passed out in the tub.)

Find Out About Anyone's Past With An Easy Background Check

By Glen Pearson

Did you know that almost a quarter of a million background checks are performed each month? If you are in search of information regarding someone and you're considering doing such a check, you're certainly not alone! Lets take a look at what it involves.

As the name implies, criminal background checks are carried out in order to recover information regarding an individual's past. This information will include details such as addresses, date of birth, marital status and if applicable, criminal records.

With the rapid expansion and the increasing popularity of the internet, never before has it been so easy to perform background checks on an individual. While you may ask yourself why anyone would want to run a check, you must also acknowledge the fact that it can be extremely beneficial. An example of this would be to check the background of a potential employee or even a new partner, thus giving you more peace of mind.

In the past you would have to go to some type of private investigator or detective agency to have them gather information about someone. This could get extremely expensive. Nowadays you can use an online service that pulls information from government and federal documents and delivers full information on someone in a matter of minutes.

Understandably, there is a fee associated with these services but in most cases it isn't much at all. Of course, simply entering a person's name within quotation marks into Google can also sometimes bring up free information.

Unless the persons name is extremely rare though, you'll inevitably be presented with scores of results all of which you will have to go through in the hope of finding the actual person you're looking for. But hey, it's free after all, so why not?

Including some additional information in your search, such as a city name, may very well help to refine your search to some extent. On the other hand, you may get no results but here again; it's free so it's worth a try as well.

If you've tried the Google approach with little or no success then you should use the services of a professional company. Considering the minimal fee which is required, you'll have the benefit of obtaining immediate results pertaining to the information you require. A professional online service that only charges a single flat rate fee for an unlimited number of searches is by far your best bet. This option means you only pay when you sign up and then you're free to use the service as often as you wish.

Of course, a sure indication of a company's credibility is a full money back offer, meaning if you don't get what you're looking for you don't pay anything.

A personal background check is a great tool to find out information about a person. It's an easy way to make you feel like a detective right from home!

During these tough economic times many families that struggle to make it on dual incomes cannot afford to go it solo. The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers has recently reported a sharp decline in divorce filings across the United States. Divorce rates have hit an all time low -- it is now cheaper to keep her.

Family law attorneys cite the poor economy as the number one reason that couples are staying together when they would otherwise likely divorce. This makes for a lot of unhappy households but at least a whole lot more children are not caught in the middle of their parents' divorce proceedings

With family law attorney's fees hovering around three hundred dollars per hour in many areas there is simply not enough money to sustain protracted litigation. Maybe some of those folks should invest in marriage counseling and work to improve their respective interpersonal communication skills. It is much cheaper and probably money spent more wisely.

Sometimes though, the economic stressors can put a great deal of strain on the best of marriages. Indeed, there are many ways to interpret the effects of a declining economy. People often divorce because of problems with money, sex and communication. If you are just left with sex and communication, make the best of it.

Practical Information On Child Care

By Don Pedro

Children of today are the future for tomorrow. Needs no telling, we have our dreams and hopes with the children. Parents always pray to have the best children from their blood. But wishing and praying isn't enough. Children need to be taken with good care, because this is the time which determines the future of the child.

Childs health is one of the major concerns for the parents. They need to be kept dry and clean as much as possible. Therefore cleaning the baby and diapering it is one of the chores that every parents needs to do few times a day.

To diaper a child fasteners, diaper swipes and warm water is needed. Warm water is used to clean the baby before diapering. One needs to wet the swipes with warm water and that is then used to clean the kid. After drying the baby diaper should be placed and clipped in position by the fasteners.

Bringing up a child is always a tough responsibility specially, for those who wants to keep closer eye on their child and shape every good nature in the baby. And because the children like to mock up, they will learn from the nearest ones. So the parents themselves need to be disciplined.

Though it's more common to find children taken care of by paid employees or baby care centers, the role of a mother to a child is unmatched and nothing can compensate it. The mother is the first teacher of a child-said the wise. So, mothers care if a must for the proper physical and mental development of a kid.

The first thing that fails the parents from taking proper care of their child is, their lack of knowledge about the major and minor things that have huge effects on the kid. Or often they are found not enough careful to learn, to be precise. But it's the first step to ensure proper care for your child. There are children information services available in almost every locale. Vital information about child health and growth can be found in these centers. However, internet browsing is another way to find all the information one needs to take good care of his/ her baby.

There are several day care centers around the town where parents send their children for the day time when they will have to remain busy with business. These agencies could be run by government entities. Or occasionally they are run by some people who take pleasure in child care. These care centers also provide with baby sitters at home to take care of the kids.

Finally, for parents who take pleasure minding their kids and for those who like to keep in close touch with the babies, its recommended to take some training courses in the vocational schools. By taking those courses they make themselves prepared to assure proper car for their child. -

Yoga - A General Overview

By Gary Pearson

Due to the fact that yoga has been present for more than thousand years it has been seen that many variations of yoga can be found now. This article aims at informing about the general concept of yoga and the different types so that you can figure out which one matches your needs the most.

Postures and breathing are the focus of all yogic disciplines, but some have other foci as well or perform the breathing and postures in a certain way to generate the desired goal or effect. Vinyasa style yoga, for example, flows from one posture to the next with a focus on rhythmic breathing. Quick, focused, and not for the beginner, Vinyasa style yoga includes types like Ashtanga, Power Yoga, Jivamukti, Kali Ray TriYoga, and White Lotus.

Iyengar style yoga, on the other hand, is much slower and focused more on fully experiencing each pose and each breath to its fullest potential. Deep intent on the details of each movement helps the practitioner experience a peace and relaxation throughout the mind and body. Props can be used to help beginners and those with disabilities hold poses.

Yoga initially began as a form of religious exercise which had its motive on complete relaxation and peace and even today there are some forms of yoga can be found which can be used to achieve this same motive and attain spirituality. Different religions have different forms of yoga. Non-Denominational forms can be found in exploring certain forms such as Integral, Ananda, Kundalini, ISHTA, Kripalu, Anusara, Sivananda Yoga and Tibetan.

'Hatha' on the other hand is an amalgamation of some or any of the afore mentioned forms of yoga with more to it. It is the correct form for the beginners as it focuses on encouraging equilibrium between meditative and strength posture. It is a very popular form of Yoga in the Western countries.

But don't stop there! So many different styles of yoga abound that there's no need to settle with the first kind you try. Instead, take classes in as many as are available in your area and choose the one that suits you best.

Pick the Best Honeymoon Holiday

How to find Heaven on Earth for Honeymooners-The Four Most Popular Honeymoon Spots

Nothing brings a couple closer together than sharing a wonderful honeymoon after the wedding. If a couple is lucky enough, one or both of their parents may give them the honeymoon as a wedding gift. Most couples, however, have to plan their honeymoons themselves and they should start on this process early. A honeymoon is usually a one or two week vacation and can be the perfect beginning for a married life together. Most travel agencies have specialized packages just made for the honeymoon couple, but with all of the information on the internet today, the couple can also plan their own honeymoon very easily. There are so many incredible locales for the perfect honeymoon, it will be hard to choose one. If the couple has decided that they would rather spend their honeymoon in the United States, here are the most popular ones that newlyweds choose:

1. The beautiful state of Hawaii has traditionally ranked as the most desired destination for honeymooners. It is beautiful and romantic with an incredible array of wonderful hotels, top notch restaurants and exotic beaches. The beaches in Hawaii are the real drawer, and it offers small, uncrowded beaches where a couple can stroll hand in hand and sniff the bougainvillea, or they can sail, snorkel and surf on pristine waters surrounded by spectacular nature, if they are the sporty type. Waikiki and Maui are the most popular islands, but there are many more that a couple can visit; each of them offers the unique culture and beauty of Hawaii as well as the incredible choice of hotels and resorts. Try the Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hawaii, the Hyatt Regency or the Halekulani for a honeymoon to remember.

2. Niagara Falls has been a traditional honeymoon choice for over 100 years, which places it in the number two ranking for honeymoons. It is an affordable attraction and the beautiful wonder of the falls makes it ideal for a romantic backdrop for a romantic vacation.

The "Maid of the Mist" is the famous boat that takes tourists and honeymooners around the falls and there is an interesting IMAX film that outlines the history of the Falls and their popularity as a vacation spot. Because of the popularity of the Falls, a lot of entertainment features have popped up in the area, such as The House of Frankenstein, The Haunted House, the Mystery Maze and the Guinness World of Records Museum. Many honeymooners combine a visit to Niagara Falls with a trip to New York City to see the sites and catch a Broadway show.

3. Even though Florida placed third in the honeymoon category doesn't mean it doesn't have a lot to offer honeymooners. It is almost always warm, with a lot of activity both on and off the beaches. The west and east coasts have their different personalities, and, with Disney World in the middle, there is no end to the entertainment. From Orlando to Key West, a couple could find many spots to stay and enjoy the sun and excitement. Palm Beach, Daytona, Miami and the many beautiful areas on the west coast offer sightseeing and water sports, or just plain relaxation. Florida offers a wide range of accommodations from luxurious to budget, so there is no reason for a couple short of cash to skip a honeymoon.

4. Las Vegas has a special appeal, but if a honeymoon couple loves glamour, excitement and gambling, it is the place to go. As the fourth most popular honeymoon spot, it is clearly popular, even though it can be a bit expensive. Las Vegas is always open for any kind of activity. Whenever you arrive in LV, you can start partying, or go to sleep. Days are nights and nights are days. And don't forget that even your honeymoon can be compressed into a day, and you can get married at one of the many wedding chapels and then spend your honeymoon in Las Vegas!

The other contenders in the "most popular honeymoon spots" are: the wine valley of California, Pennsylvania's lovely Pocono Mountains, the New Orleans region of Louisiana, and the sunny states of the Gulf Coast, such as Alabama and Texas. There are so many beautiful spots for a honeymoon full of romance and beauty; every couple should have a chance to spend some time alone in a romantic hideaway (or an exciting rendezvous, if that is what you prefer). There are so many vacation packages available, or you can just wing it and have a great honeymoon on your on terms, without having the leave the United States.

California Hiking Trails - There are a number of different types

By Penelope SanMateo

Hiking in California during certain times of the year is so fabulous that you will want to go all the time. You may want to take a weekend or maybe a whole week to see the different places to go. There is hiking available around rivers, glaciers, deserts, the coastline and in the grasslands. Take your pick.

Mount Tallac offers you a 9.4 mile round trip hike at an elevation reaching 9.735 ft. The gain on this hike is 3.255 ft so make sure you have lots of water, good shoes and are in good condition for this hike. As probably on of the best trails in the Lake Tahoe region you will enjoy the stunning views from the summit. Even with the best camera you probably won't be able to capture the beauty that your eyes will see and memories will retain. With both wooded areas and mountainous areas the hike gives you the diversity you are probably looking for. You will pass two lakes on this hike. The switchbacks are a steep climb taking you up to the summit which will be very hot, so be ready.

The hike to Upper Yosemite Falls is 7.2 miles round trip. The elevation at the summit is 6,526 ft and an elevation gain of 2,700 ft. You will want to do this hike from May to jUly when the waterfall is at its full force and most beautiful. You will hike through switchbacks in the forested area before coming to the flat area with your first view of the falls. Enjoy the mist from the falls as you get closer to it. You will face another set of switchbacks before reaching the summit. These are the most difficult and very steep so if you aren't in good physical condition you will want to pass on this part.

Enter the wonders of the desert with the heat and lack of water on the hike in Mosiac Canyon. Although the trail is just 2.5 miles round trip you will think you went further due to the climate conditions. After all, this is the hottest place in the US so it's a challenge. Bring plenty of water to rehydrate yourself on this hike, you'll need it. You might see some desert wildlife as you view the stunning designs nature created on the formations of the canyon walls.

Back to the mountains and this time it's the really high hike. Prepare for Mt. Shasta, the most challenging trail in California. The trial is 12 miles round trip and the summit is 14,179 ft with an elevation gain of 7,259 ft. You will work on this trail to see the beauty. The time to plan this hike is from May to mid July due to the unpredictable weather in the spring and the lava rocks and rolling boulders that come crashing down the mountain after the snow melt in the summer. Not only is this more than a hike, you will have issues with altitude sicknes if you are not careful so make sure you go with a partner for safety and practical reasons. Read all you can about this hike before you begin, it's not one for the faint of heart.

Mt. Shasta offers you a different type of hike. You will want to bring your sunscreen, sunglasses, an ice axe and shelter. Since you won't have much warning if the weather is going to turn on you take the shelter to offer protection when, and if, you need it. Bring along your crampons, helmet, summit pass, and winter boots and wear extra layers of cloths, and again, plenty of water. Don't plan on drinking snow melt around Helen's Lake since it is contaminated by human and animal urine...yummy!

The 16 mile round trip hike of Half Dome has an elevation gain of 4,800 ft. It reaches the summit of 8,842 ft. This hike is best between late May and early October. It is a difficult hike which brings people from all around the world to Yosemite National Park. If you aren't in excellent physical shape with lots of hiking and climbing experience behind you don't attempt this climb. The switchbacks are rocky and many ankles are injured here so be super careful. When you reach Nevada Falls you are at the halfway point of the climb. Here you should take the time to assess your strengths and skills to see if you are prepared to continue on. The climb gets tougher so be ready. Not only is the climb tough but the altitude change will require some adjustment of your body so give it a little while. Rest, and then go on. The continuation is very steep, excruciatingly long to reach the back of Half Dome rock. Your body is continually assaulted on the switchbacks during this phase. The Half Dome cables will fill you with shock and fear, they should! Now, assess your ability to continue on and if you are sure you are willing, the success of the climb will give you stunning views of Yosemite Valley below. This hike is only for those that are in good, if not superior, physical condition. If you aren't then don't do this one. There are many other trails that will better fit your ability.
