Hiking In California

Perfect weather in Southern California for a hike. Mid 80’s in the middle of November. We decided to combine our three major hobbies into a single day. Sheep’s Canyon requires that you take a short 4×4 drive up into the valley from Borrego Springs and we took a lot of pictures.

We received some rain here in California (Finally!!) so we decided to head out to Tenaja Falls in Riverside County. This was one of our first hikes when we first started this site.

We decided to combine our hobbies for a day of outdoor adventures. We started out with a Jeep run on Santa Ysabel Creek Trail (check out our jeep adventures at West Coast Jeep) that had a spur called 11S04. You can find the Santa Ysabel Trail by driving up the 78 towards Ramona. Right before you hit Ramona you take W Haverford Rd east. That will dead end into Pamo Rd. Take that North until you see the enterance, there is a picture on the West Coast Jeep entry for the Santa Ysabel Trail. (more…)
