More hiking!

Okay, it might be a little too hot these days to do this hike unless you start at 6am. Still, this is a hike worth googling: Sandstone Peak. Besides all the amazing vistas, you'll be able to say you were at the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains. Pretty cool.

"Take another hike."

It was hike #2 for my buddies Kevin, Ryan and me. This week we went on a 9-mile hike on the Santa Anita Big Loop Trail. We saw waterfalls, crossed creeks, climbed up peaks and dodged falling branches. The thick, soupy fog added to the excellent adventure.

We had a special guest this week: Coda!

"Take a hike."

At the risk of sounding like a tree-hugging, hippie, I'd like to say go back to nature. I went with friends on a great 3-hour hike near San Diego. 

Los Penasquitos Canyon (meaning "little cliffs") is a nature reserve hidden in the backyard of an encroaching suburban development. 

It was absolutely beautiful. Even more than that, life seemed to revert back to a simpler time – a time when the iCal schedules and excess spam didn't exist...

Saw this mellow-dude riding his horse with three dogs in tow. I thought to myself, someday I want to be this man. (Although, I'd probably wear a shirt or tank top.)
