Outdoors Wednesday....Escondido Creek Style....

Here is a hiking trail we visited with our sons recently. The boys live quite a distance from us and sometimes we will meet halfway between our house and theirs. This is near Escondido, but midway to the coast. It is called the Escondido Creek and there are some nice hiking trails. The one we chose this day went pretty much straight up to the reservoir.
Of course, Lola being part fish, had to take a little swim before the hike got started.

There weren't a lot of wild flowers. By now, it is getting too dry and warm.

This is part way up. This is a water reservoir for the area. We sat by the rest stop and had a snack and a cool cup of water.

Aren't they a great looking group of hikers!

Taking in the view.

This is at the top. Straight out is the Pacific Ocean. It was such a beautiful view. The day was a bit cloudy which is typical June weather. We were happy for the cool weather. The hike was a bit difficult for me and the heat would have made it that much worse. I like walking a lot, and this was a great day, but the trail was quite rocky and I get nervous with a steep grade and a rocky trail. This view and the time with the boys and Anna was well worth it!
