Aliso Peak
Cappie’s Scoop: This is one of the first hikes I ever did and I got to do it with my brother Mickey! I was only 4 months old when we found this short hike to an amazing view of the ocean! There were a couple of steep hills along the way but I showed mom that I could do it! After our hike, we stopped at Champagne French Bakery Café where I sat outside to have some victory treats with my brother. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
