Sitton Peak
Cappie’s Scoop: One of my favorite hikes! The trail starts next to the candy store … ahhh the candy store where they have ice cream! The 3,273 ft peak has 360 views of the Santa Ana Mountains, San Diego County, Orange County, and Catalina…
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…
Garnet Peak
