Canyon Oak to Desert View Trail Loop

Cappie’s Scoop: It was a really sunny day when I visited this county park. The trail starts near the campground and I was hoping we might stay the night too. But we were only there to hike for the day. We started in Canyon Oak and then found the Desert View Trail. From there, we took a quick side trip all the way up to some view called Glens. I wonder if I can get my own view on a sign, Cappie’s view. Hmmm… Well there was a really cool view finder and mom said she could see Granite Mountain, El Cajon Mountain, the Salton Sea, and Anza-Borrego. I hope one day we visit the Salton Sea. Some of my furiends say there’s a good fish smell there. Sounds great right! After our hike, mom and I stopped in downtown Julian to get apple pie and hang out. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
