It's a wonderful place for hikes and nature walks of all kinds. What a venue in which to sip beauty of every kind. With its volcanic mountain, green hill-haloed expanse of 105 mile shoreline, gorgeous lake vistas, and some of the most beautiful untouched land in California, Lake County, depending on the locale or time of day, can suggest the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, or Mexico.
