Piedras Pintadas and Bernardo Bay
Cappie’s Scoop: There are a lot of trails around Lake Hodges and I’ve been on a mission to explore all of them! This time we headed to the Piedras Pintadas trail which has a great view of the lake. I can see lots of birds…
Peters Canyon Loop
Cappie’s Scoop: This is another roller coaster hike! Just check out the pictures. Last time I hiked here, it was very green and mom was getting upset that I kept pulling over to eat the grass. I couldn’t help it. Again, look at the pictures….
Agua Caliente Hill
Cappie’s Scoop: Stay on the trail! There are very sharp things on the sides that can poke you in the nose if you smell them too close. Mom told me to be careful and stay on the trail, she was right! We watched the sunset…

McGinty Mountain
Cappie’s Scoop: I like this hike because we usually have the trail all to ourselves. Except when the people in the big jackets, big hats and carrying lots of stuff are there. Mom says they are firefighters and this is the spot where they train….
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…
Santa Ysabel Preserve East
Cappie’s Scoop: We celebrated our 50th Meetup hike of 2018 at this preserve! All I can say, there were a lot of cows near the trail. Mom thought my poop was big and I told her, look at that cow poop! We did a loop…
