Annie's Canyon Trail

For my first post I will be talking about my most recent adventure in San Diego which consisted of taking a hike at Annie's Canyon Trail in Solana Beach. This trail was short but effective and consisted of two options to get to the top. There was both an easy version and a difficult version which both led to the same viewpoint at the top. The "difficult" pathway which I took takes you through the slot canyon. While I would not recommend this to anybody with claustrophobia as the opening was very tight, it was very achievable.

The total time inside the slot for me personally was about 5-7 minutes as there were also others completing the hike as well, but may take shorter or longer depending on how quickly you move. While in the slot you come across a bar ladder that you will need to climb to get to the end of the slot opening. Inside the slot you also see many markings along the walls, but it isn't advised to create any additional markings, there was also a small opening in the slot. This opening appears as a very small cave that you can step into while making your way through. Once at the top of the slot, there is a viewpoint that overlooks to the highway on one side and the ocean on the other. Coming back down from the slot I took what was considered the "easy" path. As someone who hasn't completed many hikes this was a good option as a beginner hike. There was the option to continue onto another path once completing the slot portion, but I opted to end after completing the slot.

After this hike I decided to find a place to relax for the next couple of hours, so I took a short drive up to La Jolla shores beach. This was a great beach to check out as its in a great area and is a beautiful beach. I watched as people surfed and families walked along the beach enjoying their Friday afternoon. If you are in the area I suggest watching the sunset at this beach as well as taking some time to relax for a while, as the surrounding area is very calm unlike some other beaches in the area.

For my next "adventure" in the San Diego area I decided to hike a nearby trail at Mission Trails Regional Park with a friend. This hike will be a little more "intense" than the one at Annie's Canyon trail but is still considered an "easier" trail. I will talk more about this hike in my next post.
