A Zonkey, a camel & trail, oh my! 👇 If you’ve ever driven I-680 between Walnut Creek and Danville, you’ve probably spotted something wild—literally. It’s time to solve this mystery with one of the Bay Area’s most unique, lesser-known trails! This month, I’ve tackled 24 hikes and 87 miles across California—and this one is a must for your list. Follow @outdoorwiseliving for even more hidden gems and trail guides across the Golden State! Trail Guide: Las Trampas to Mount Diablo Regional Trail, Danville 🥾 Trail: Easy but steep (1.5–3 miles)
 📍 Location: Park under I-680 by Hap Magee Park (trailhead is free!)
 ⏰ Best Time to Visit: Now—wildflowers are starting to appear!
 🌄 Elevation: ~350 ft gain
 👧👦 Family-Friendly: Perfect for kids—don’t forget binoculars!
 🦮 Dog-Friendly: Dogs on leash
 ♿ Accessibility: Not ADA accessible 🚽 Restrooms: Hap Magee Ranch Park, less than 0.5 miles away The Backstory: A private company leases parts of this land, using exotic animals like camels, llamas, and even a zonkey to keep the grass trimmed! Hike 1/3 mile up the hill and look for a small path on the right—it leads to a prime viewing spot where the animals often graze. Want more? The trail continues to a bench with breathtaking views of Mount Diablo. Quick Tips: * Ticks Alert: Stay on the cleared paths; tall grass is a hotspot for ticks. * Wildlife: Bring binoculars or a zoom lens for spotting animals. * Leave No Trace: Pack out everything you bring in to preserve the trail.

The I.B.M. is proud to announce we now have a podcast. The International Brotherhood of Magicians official podcast will release twice a month and will focus on discussions about the art of magic, interviews with both celebrity and I.B.M. magicians, and all sorts of fun I.B.M. things.

In the first episode, magicians and I.B.M. podcasters Jason Michaels, Scott Cantrell, and Ben Young introduce themselves, introduce the podcast, and get into a discussion on whether or not it is okay to use "moth-eaten jokes" and questionable language in a magic show.

Make sure to subscribe so that you get notified every time a new episode is released. Listen on Spotify, YouTube, I Heart Podcasts or Apple Podcasts. The first episode is live now and the second episode is scheduled to go live on February 15th.
