Clevenger Canyon North
Cappie’s Scoop: Clevenger Canyon has a north and south side and I’ve hiked both! If I had to pick which one was my favorite, it would be the north side. Maybe it was because when I hiked there, the grass was green and lots…
Volcan Mountain
Cappie’s Scoop: I like this hike in the spring and in the winter time! I don’t always get to the hike in the snow but when I do, I love it! I turn into a happy snow dog and looking for sticks is even more…
Eagle Rock
Cappie’s Scoop: I once hiked another trail called Eagle Peak and the whole time, I’m looking around for an eagle. No eagle. This time I was surprised to see some huge rocks on the trail that looked like an eagle! Finally, a bird dog…
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….

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…
Garnet Peak
Cappie’s Scoop: When I go camping in Mount Laguna, there are two hikes I like to do, Garnet Peak and Monument Peak! It’s a tradition now to hike Garnet Peak to see the sunset. We like to start at a small trailhead that you…
Devil’s Bridge
Cappie’s Scoop: I didn’t know what I was in for when we started to hike this trail. I should’ve known when mom said the “devil’s bridge” that it would be scary. We walked out onto the bridge and I looked at mom thinking we…
Boynton Canyon
Cappie’s Scoop: All I wanted to do was zooooooom on this trail! Maybe there really is an energy vortex out there like mom says. The trail through the canyon had some shade and lots of leaves to crunch. Then when we went to the…
