Winter hikes in Sonoma County 
For outdoor enthusiasts, one of the best things about living in Sonoma County is the moderate weather. Except for days with heavy rains, hiking here can be a year-round pleasure.
In fact, venturing out in winter has its benefits: Seasonal streams flow, hillsides green, the air is crisp, and the sky is brilliantly clear or painted with clouds. So, to keep you moving this winter, here are some of our favorite hikes. 
West Ridge Trail at Tolay Lake Regional Park: This trail leads to the southern reaches of Sonoma County’s largest park and verdant views of the Petaluma River, San Pablo Bay and Cougar Mountain at Sears Point. And at 8 miles round trip, it’s a worthy workout. Difficulty: Approx. 4 miles one way, 340 feet of elevation gain.
Alta Vista Trail at Foothill Regional Park: In English, "alta vista" means “view from above,” and the reason for the trail name becomes clear when you crest the top. Alta Vista is not a long trail, but it is the park’s most challenging, and it's certainly an invigorating climb on a brisk day. Difficulty: Approx. 3 miles, 600 feet of elevation gain. 
Valley of the Moon Trail at Sonoma Valley Regional Park: The paved Valley of the Moon Trail is one of our favorite wet-weather outings. No worries about muddy crossings when wandering along this corridor of blue and black oaks. Difficulty: Approx. 1.2 miles one way, 60 feet of elevation loss.
Creekside Trail at Shiloh Ranch Regional Park: A hike on the Creekside Trail is like a walk through magical Ferngully. This trail is all about forested solitude along a burbling winter creek. It’s easy to imagine fairies living here. Difficulty: Approx. 1.4 miles one way, 260 feet of elevation gain.
Bluff Top Trail at The Sea Ranch: When you want a moody hike, Bluff Top is your trail (pictured at top). Wind-swept headlands, jagged shorelines, pounding waves, and leaning cypress groves await.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
Please take advantage of the goodwill in the OHV community and ask for help. Ed Stovin - 5/4/2024

To whom this concerns, Please approve this grant application because the horribly underfunded agency need assistance in providing a comprehensive transportation system. This system is important for access to our public lands for many forms of recreation and resource extraction. This agency is dependent on these grants, so please approve them. Greg Weirick - 5/5/2024

Winter Wildlands Alliance (WWA) is in support of grant goals submitted by the BLM, Bishop Field Office that pertain to winter patrols in OHV areas, such as The Tungsten Hills, which has important wintering habitat for deer populations. Protecting wintering wildlife is an important piece of OHV area management, and it is important to have the staffing capacity to patrol these areas. Thank you for your consideration of our comments. We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with public agencies and winter recreation stakeholders to help develop equitable and balanced recreation opportunities. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. For more information, contact Kelly Bessem, WWA California Stewardship Manager OR Hilary Eisen, WWA Policy Director: heisen@winterwildlands.org Kelly Bessem - 5/6/2024

I support this effort to maintain and enhance the OHV areas at Fort Sage and Rive Canyon. Thank you. Kevin C Sevier - 3/6/2024

About Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) | STI | CDC
Mycoplasma genitalium (Mgen)
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Syphilis
Trichomoniasis

Signs and symptoms
Many STIs have no symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms, so people can have an infection but not know it. Therefore, it is possible to have an infection and not know it. That is why getting an STI test is important if you are having sex. If you receive a positive STI diagnosis, know that all are treatable with medicine and some are curable entirely.

How it spreads
STIs pass from one person to another through vaginal, oral, and anal sex. They also can spread through intimate physical contact like heavy petting, though this is not very common.

Related conditions
Some related conditions which are often transmitted sexually include

Chancroid
Lymphogranuloma Venereum (LGV)
Pubic Lice
Scabies

Other conditions are sometimes but not always spread by sexual transmission, such as

HIV/AIDS
Viral Hepatitis

Other diseases, including Zika, Ebola, and mpox, can be spread sexually but are more often spread through ways other than sex.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
For both local and non-local OHV enthusiasts. When tourist recreate on our public lands they don't always use good judgement and respect for our public lands. Monitoring, repairs and maintenance of the roads is paramount to help ensure safe enjoyment of all the Eastern Sierra has to offer. Funding of the Grant will help with repairs and maintenance and ensure the continuation of access and enjoyment on our public lands. Thank you. Raul Hidalgo - 4/12/2024

THIS GRANT COMMENT IS FROM THE EASTERN SIERRA 4X4 CLUB Submitted by Pat Woods The Eastern Sierra 4x4 Club is based out of Bishop, CA. We have over 75 members and are committed to sustainable land use and good off-roading practices. We are active in our community and communicate closely with government land management agencies. We take pride in our volunteer support to the Inyo National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management. The Eastern Sierra 4WD Club takes responsibility for promoting safe and sane four wheeling. Our club is open to anyone who supports our goals and is interested in exploring our wonderful area. We support Conservation with Utilization and TREAD LIGHTLY practices. This proposal should be funded. Our area has experienced a huge increase in the numbers of people who recreate in Inyo and Mono counties and that trend it is going to continue. Many of these visitors recreate with vehicles on public lands. Proper and efficient monitoring, maintenance and repair of level 2 roads is essential for better resource management and they provide a rewarding OHV experience for our visitors. The winter of 2022/23 did a huge amount of damage to many roads in our area and made many roads unsafe, to the point where they were closed by Inyo National Forest. INF did not have the resources to repair the damage, so volunteer groups, like Valley Outdoors, got together to fix the damage and reopen the roads. Now there needs to be consistent maintenance and Valley Outdoors is going to make that happen. As a group of concerned locals who have driven these roads for many years, we endorse the much-needed maintenance and repair work that will be done with this funding. Thanks Eastern Sierra 4X4 Club - 4/13/2024

This project is very much needed for the Inyo National Forest off highway roads.
