@ashlynerosee: Some of my favorite hikes! Whether you’re just looking for a chill hike or something more thrilling, this list has something for anyone ☺️ #sandiego #sandiegohiddengems #SanDiegoHikes #socalhikes 1. Ho Chi Minh Trail: What to expect: unstable sandstone cliffs, becomes very slick after rainfall. Many rescues have occurred on the trail due to injuries. Climbing required: There are several sections that require rock scrambling and climbing, including a section with a rope and a plank. Physical demands: The hike is short (about 0.5 miles) but strenuous. The round trip can take up to 1.5 hours, and it is significantly more difficult on the ascent. 2. Los Penasquitos Trail What to expect: A scenic hike to a waterfall. The main highlight of the trail is the seasonal waterfall that plunges over volcanic rock. While it's most impressive after heavy rains, the canyon and surrounding boulders are scenic even when the water isn't flowing. 3. Annie’s Canyon: Unique and short hike in Solana Beach, known for its narrow, winding sandstone slot canyon and scenic views of the San Elijo Lagoon and Pacific Ocean. The trail is family-friendly and offers an adventurous experience for those comfortable with tight spaces and climbing. 4. Cowles Mountain: As the highest point within the City of San Diego, Cowles Mountain offers a rewarding and popular hike with panoramic views. You can expect a steady and consistent climb on a well-maintained, but rocky trail that is popular with locals and visitors alike. slide 5 upper left photo by: @Cal.Euphoria 5.Torrey Pines What to expect: stunning coastal views, well-maintained trails for various skill levels, and a preserved habitat for the rare Torrey pine. The trails are mostly exposed, so sun protection is crucial. It is a popular, day-use-only park with parking fees and restrictions on pets and food on the trails.

for ho chi minh, wear proper shoes (good traction) & hike with caution. don’t do it after it rains. it’s a technical hike with small paths that walk above steep slots you can slip off of. surfers hike up & down it barefoot with their surfboards in hand tho 😭

Erica :

Hi chi Minh is soooo eroded the average person cannot hike it
