Sawmill Reservoir

We wanted to hike but wanted a short one so that our son could walk or we could carry him. For some reason he hates the carrier. This one is a 1.3 mile round trip hike to the lake along the creek. It was nice stroll and we sat near the creek to take it…

Vancouver

We took a ferry from Victoria to Vancouver. This ferry ride was so relaxing. I even got to see a whale jump and spray its water all around. It was a good ride. We got off on Horseshoe bay. My 2 year old slept off, so we took a drive along the sea to sky…

Victoria, Canada

We took a 90 minute long ferry ride from Port Angeles, WA to Victoria, Canada. The ferry ride itself was beautiful. We could see the mountains amidst the blue ocean. Victoria is a small coastal town. It was a big change for us coming from a mountain city. The green town with all thee blue…

Olympic National Park

This is our first time visiting Washington state and it was so good. Maybe we were there on a good week? But It did not rain as much as we expected. It had sun and the lush green was very inviting. We loved the bird eye view when we landed. The water and the lush…

Sunset Cliffs, San Diego

This is a beautiful spot. Very romantic and scenic. We saw a proposal while we we hiking this trail. We walked along the coast watching the sun go down. The caves and rock formations were unique. Though it is not really stroller friendly we took the stroller. Walked on the bike path at times. This…

Mueller State Park (Second visit)

I am so not sure why we did not explore this park better the first time around. I guess I did not do my research well the first time. This time around with a 1 year old, the way we look at everything has changed. This park is awesome. Really it is. It has small…

Blue Grouse Trail

I am happy to post something here after a long gap in between. We went to the Golden gate canyon park catch the changing colors without having to drive anywhere far. Due to my son’s nap schedule we went there in the afternoon. It was crowded even then. We choose the smallest trial on the…

Left Hand Reservoir

This Reservoir is located close to Brainard Lake Recreation Area. So I had actually planned to go to Long lakes located in the Recreation Area. Unware of the new reservation rules. We are required to reserve slots for almost every parking lot inside this Recreation area now. So our choices were to either hike from…

Eaglewatch Lake

This one is located in the South Platte park. We have actually been here before as we have visited South platte park a couple of times. It was a sunny hot day and we did try to start our hike early. There were a lot of people with their tubes for tubing in the South…

Baldwin Hills

This is an City view hike. Just stairs to the viewpoint but it was beautiful and good workout.
