Empire Mine State Park

There are a lot of different hiking trails near my home, which is really great for Celeste.

I took Celeste to Empire Mine State Historical Park this morning for an easy 4-mile hike. Then I tripped over a metal bar exiting the park and my knee is sad.

If you are ever in Grass Valley, stop by this park. There is 840-acres of hiking trails and a neat historical mining museum that you can pay $7 to check out. I didn't, but you can.

I like the Union Hill loop.

Celeste does too:



I love going on walks with Celeste. She is just so happy. Also, she is not a freak on leash, unlike her older (not wiser) sister.
