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.
