Agua Dulce Loop
Cappie’s Scoop: I love a loop hike! You get to see something different around every turn. I remember this hike a lot because in the middle of hiking, I was jumping around with a pine cone and I managed to trip over something and hit my chin. I started bleeding but mom had my bandana with her and quickly cleaned me up. I didn’t really feel anything and was ready to keep hiking! Mom worries too much sometimes. It was only a scratch! This is a very nice trail but keep your eyes open for mountain bikers who also love this trail too. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: Keep your eyes open for mountain bikers on the trail.
