Morning Hike

San Diego, California

I’m totally new to hiking. It has always been on my Bucketlist but always too scared to go alone and I’ve never had friends that were interested. I recently made a new friend who likes to hike! 😊 So now my Bucketlist is even longer with all these hikes I want to try! 😆 This is the second trail I’ve tried.

The trail from a newbie standpoint: a little difficult with all the elevation changes and walking on rocks. I feel if I had actual hiking boots (not my running shoes) then it would be a little easier. But we took our time, enjoyed the sights, and drank plenty of water.

PS. I slipped a few times from all the little rocks and sand but I didn’t fall 💪🏻

After the hike, we ate at Janet’s Cafe and Deli in Santee, CA. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it was so delicious and quick service.

... Read moreHiking is a fantastic way to connect with nature, enjoy fresh air, and engage in physical activity. For beginners, choosing the right trail can make a huge difference. The Canyon, Grasslands Oak Crossing Loop is a popular choice, showcasing stunning landscapes while providing varying levels of difficulty. When selecting trail gear, investing in good hiking boots is essential for stability and support on rocky terrain. Hydration is also key during hikes; always carry enough water to stay hydrated, especially in California's warm climate. Additionally, before heading out, ensure to check weather conditions and trail closures for your safety. For those unfamiliar with hiking etiquette, remember to respect nature, stay on marked trails, and yield to faster hikers. After the hike, visiting local eateries like Janet’s Cafe in Santee can enhance your hiking experience with great food and relaxation. Keep an eye out for beginner hiking groups in your area as they can be a supportive way to explore new trails and meet like-minded adventurers! Happy hiking!
