Hollenbeck Canyon Hike

Hollenbeck Canyon Hike

Hollenbeck Canyon Hike    We set off at 8 a.m. because even though it was January, it was supposed to get warm. It is NOT safe to hike with dogs when it gets hot.  Dogs do not sweat.  They pant and they have coats on.  The easily become overheated so we are very careful that this does not happen.  Please watch the weather for any area that you are planning to hike with your pups.     The trail begins on a flat section and within the first .3 mile comes to a T.  We opted to go left at

Kitchen Creek Falls

Kitchen Creek Falls

I can not believe that we have been hiking all over San Diego for 12 years and we have never been to Kitchen Creek Falls.  It is probably because it was dried up for many years.  All of the rain has been awesome for the San Diego hikes.  They are like new hikes!  Kitchen Creek Falls is off of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and you have to know about the secret trail or you will miss it!      We started out on Old Highway 80 near Boulder Oaks Campground. We have been hiking sections of the PCT for

Fisherman's Camp Hike

Mommy, daddy and I started our road trip on a super fun hike in the San Mateo Canyon Wilderness.   Mommy and I drove the RV to Clinton Keith Road and parked it there and daddy picked us up in his truck.  It was a good thing because the road going to the trailhead would not have been very fun in the RV.  It was very narrow and a little rutted.  We drove down Tenaja  road and parked at the trailhead for Fisherman’s camp. ( you need an adventure pass or chance getting a ticket )       We headed down

Chantry Flats Hike

Chantry Flats Hike

How was your Thanksgiving?  We hope that you got some exercise in before you started eating and watching football all day.   Our Leash Your Fitness group started the day with the first peak of our 5 Peak Challenge in Mission Trails. They headed up Kwaay Paay and enjoyed the beautiful views on the crisp morning!      Mommy, daddy and I headed north toward Pasadena and hiked a new trail called Chantry Flats to Hoegees Camp.    Mommy found the hike on the internet and when the man said that it gets crowded, he was not kidding!  We arrived
