Lundy Canyon
Cappie’s Scoop: When I first did this hike, mom was looking for fall leaves and we were both surprised to find a waterfall towards the end of our hike! I love playing in the water. Then the next time we went back, we found…
McGee Creek Canyon
Cappie’s Scoop: The canyon is very big and there are a few trails that you can hike on to see fall colors. We hiked for a while into the canyon and found a few streams crossing the trail which was fun because I love…
Viejas Mountain
Cappie’s Scoop: When mom and I want a quick hike but a kick in the butt, we go here. In only 1.5 miles, we gain a good amount of elevation. The views at the top are great and there is a nice flat area where…
Maple Canyon
Cappie’s Scoop: I’m very lucky because this canyon is down the street from where I live! So mom and I can go anytime which means we see a lot of the changes in the canyon from lots of crunchy sticks to colorful (and sometimes edible)…
Horsethief Canyon

Sweetwater Preserve

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…
Knott Grove
Cappie’s Scoop: Who doesn’t love Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve! The hoomans are hiking, riding bikes, and sitting on big dogs which mom says are horses. So be careful furiends and share the trail. This time we headed through Knott Grove all the way to…
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…
