La Jolla Cove, San Diego

A short mile long trail along the shore. I thoroughly enjoyed this walk. We started our trail from seal rock. There were a lot of seals resting on rocks and near by was Children’s pool. It was cool place on its own. We walked along the shore past a park and several spots where you…

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…

Inspiration Point @ Will Rogers State park

This is a lovely hike. Easy and short but rewards with many beautiful views of coast, city and tree bound trail. This 2 mile loop is situated in Will Roger’s State park. State park has a entry fee of $3/hour. We paid for 2 hours and that was just good enough for us to do…

Newport beach

I have been wanting to visit this beach for some years now. Somehow it never materialized. This time it happened totally by accident. We took a stroll and looked at all those stunning beach houses. Wow the luxury and how aesthetically pleasing. Landscaping was meticulous. Each house was so unique, had it’s own character. As…

Stearns wharf, Santa Barbara pier

We went to beach close to the pier. Vidyuth enjoyed playing in the sand. We tried to relax a bit in the beach. There were so many seagulls. The mission creek opposite side of the beach helped the birds stay there. This beach was filled with sea weeds. We have been hopping around so many…

Point dume, Malibu

A beautiful place in malibu. It is a cove, water surrounds you on 3 sides. We saw a lot of surfers in the water. It was fun to watch them fight waves. The trail is a short one. Under 2 miles but so lovely. I loved hiking this one. Vidyuth slept through the hike and…
