Big Laguna Trail - Laguna Mtn -Cleveland NF

Nice map at the beginning of the Laguna Mountain area

Nice woodsy area on this hike since it isn't very steep of a hill 


Lots of open space in the valley as this hike goes moderately up and down

Cattle grazing from the local farm

Pretty cool trail signs using pictures instead of just words

Elfin Forest Hike

Little sign to let us know we've arrived
High risk, kinda spooky

Gorgeous pond at the bottom

Interesting little guy we saw
Huge spider web on the trail with a mean looking spider in it

A little lounging at the bridge at the bottom

Cuyamaca Peak Hike - Cuyamaca

Fun hike on 4th of July weekend. Ran out of water so there was a bit of a race to get back :)
The first hike with my new Garmin Vivo Active


Beautiful flowers in the valley are a great way to start
We made a wish and it came true at the top, amazing views
Great journey through the lush green

This trail really makes it feel like an adventure in the woods
Taking a little break on a log over a river
You can see the fire damage on the mountain
Found this little gem shaped just like a heart
Great views from the top
We got to go during flower season, it was quite enchanting
