Mission Trails 12/10/2010

I was making my usual trip to San Diego to pick up my daughter. I left a little early and hiked around the mission trails area which surrounds a section of the San Diego River. First I hiked up the steep trail around 500 feet up onto the ridge of kwaay Paay mountain and took in the views of the preserve to the east, north and west. Then I went down and explored by the river a little. Nice day. Nice fall colors. Slight little workout up the hill and then some nice peaceful moments by the river. San Diego has a lot of small open space areas to check out.

Mission Trails San Diego May 23, 2010

Spring is still somewhat hanging on at Mission Trails. It was my first time hiking there and I really enjoyed it. The plan was to go with my daughter Barbara and my coworker Storm and his friend but they all bailed out on me so I ended up doing the hike solo. The San Diego River flows through this area and it was still flowing pretty good. There were still some flowers in bloom but you could tell they will be baked up pretty soon in the hot sun in these lower elevations. Anyway I got some great pictures. Check em out.
