Paradise Falls
Cappie’s Scoop: This is a cool waterfall to see but it would’ve been better if mom let me swim in the water. I didn’t get a chance to jump in the water this time but we had a nice long hike and I got…
Coronado Island Loop
Cappie’s Scoop: I love to hike but sometimes I don’t want to sit in the car for a long drive to a trail. So mom picks out an urban trail close to our house for us to hike. This time I hiked around the…
Palomar Mountain Observatory Trail
Cappie’s Scoop: Into the forest I go! This trail had rocks to climb, creeks to cross, acorns to chew and huge scary pine cones to ignore. It’s a fun trail with lots of trees and shade. Can’t wait to go back again! Don’t hesitate…
South Fork Trail 2E17
Cappie’s Scoop: This trail surprised us! I didn’t expect much because we parked on the side of the road but once we started hiking, we were deep in the mountains with cool forest views! Then we passed over a running creek which was fun…

Cappie’s Scoop: Spring is a great time to visit this canyon! Lots of flowers to smell, sticks to crunch and of course green grass to eat. Yummm! We did a big loop around the canyon and even took a small side trail to see some…
Obsidian Dome Trail
Cappie’s Scoop: This is a fun snow hike! Since this is a closed road covered in snow, it’s like a huge hiking trail! Mom can snowshoe and I can zoom around in the snow. We also saw lots of hoomans cross-country skiing. It was…

Cappie’s Scoop: This is a fun snow hike! Mom can snowshoe and I can zoom around in the snow. But even though the road was covered in snow, it wasn’t closed. There were two trucks that came by doing some off-road driving for fun….
