Iron Mountain - Poway

Cool starting point with the trees
Ascend quick and get great views in return

Rocky trail

Gorgeous rolling hills
Peak is amazing

Had to move the boulder out of the way

Not a bad valley to see on the way back down

Catalina Island

Landed in Avalon, adventure awaits

Cool walk up the road to the hike

Saw this bird in the nature center

Felt like Halloween already with this guy

Got to the start of the trail

Started hiking up the steep and narrow Hermit Gulch trail

Ascended quick and got rewarded with beautiful views of the ocean

Feeling grateful

Super happy to be here

Gorgeous at the top, but they need to change their biking policies!

Being above the clouds in the mountains 

We bad, we know it

Ate lunch at the top and watched the clouds clear out 
Kinda cool rock formation

Botanical garden had some great succulents

This rare treat

Wild and pokey combo

Bridge of science

Wrigley Memorial, pretty cool that the Chicago Cubs trained here for over 20 years

Nice iron engraved door

Ocean is so crystal clear

Gorgeous view of the city and downtown

Laguna Beach - Laurel Canyon

Ran out of batteries on the phone, so couldn't take many pictures, but this place is beautiful. Some really cool boulders to be seen while walking through the canyon, and a great view of the canyon at the top.



Standing on both sides of the fault

Balboa Park


Unique cactus

A little bridge crossing over the creek

Able to see the Coronado Bridge from a distance

Typically what the trail looks like

Checked out some cool plants on the way out

Cool looking tree
