I’m still hiking in Southern California so I headed to Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve outside Julian to hike Volcan Mountain Trail (5,353ft).

While spending time in southern California visiting my family, I looked around for the best San Diego hikes and found Potato Chip Rock Trail on Mount Woodson in the Lake Poway Recreation Area.

If you’re looking for where to hike in Idyllwild, California look no further than Suicide Rock via Deer Springs Trail which offers the best views of the Idyllwild, Pine Cove, Fern Valley. Never heard of Idyllwild? Get ready to fall in love with this mountain oasis just 2.5 hours east of Los Angeles.

Today I’m solo hiking the most difficult hiking trail in Los Angeles I’ve hiked, Echo Mountain via Rubio Canyon. AllTrails rates this trail as Difficult and they aren’t kidding because it’s basically a 1400 foot ascent straight up the mountain.
