On the Hike

We enjoyed our trail mix on the Sunset Trail in the Laguna Mountains, which is located in east San Diego County, California. It was a hot day, so we welcomed the chance to sit on a shaded rock and enjoy the trail mix and plenty of water. Our view as we ate was Big Laguna Lake, where water birds swam and the breeze blew across the open pasture. These are the peaceful and serene moments that I crave as a hiker.
