Good morning, it's a Jeffrey Douglas S.D. Rover. It's the middle of June 2020 and I thought today I'd come up to Enjoy one of my favorite hikes in San Diego on Mount Laguna. It's called Garnet Peak You can see the beautiful view of San Diego on Mount Laguna. It's a beautiful view of San Diego on Mount Laguna. It's a beautiful view of San Diego on Mount Laguna.

Beautiful, beautiful day. You can see down into the desert. Pretty clear. Trail comes up this ridge and everything. And we're going to go up and gain some elevation and then we'll actually drop back down. So we're dropping down from the first ridge and we're going to come back down and then start up on the peak. So there is another trail that you can come up that's a little bit more direct and likely that's the way I'm going to go back today. But I really suggest the Pinypines because it's really a beautiful hike and got a lot of exposure down into the into Burego Desert and everything. So definitely worth the trip to do that. Lots of wildfires out today, which is pretty nice to see in June and spectacular day. When I got up at 5 this morning, the weather report was not that favorable. So I almost didn't come. So there was going to be cloudy and overcast. And as many times in San Diego, the forecast wasn't too accurate. So I'm going to go back to San Diego. And then we're going to go back to San Diego. Well, finally made it to the top. I'm getting a little warm. So I'm glad I'm here. Very clear view down into into Burego. And I think pretty certain I can see the salt and sea off there to the distance. And got lucky. There's nobody up here at the top right now, which is which is good. And so we're going to hang out a little bit, take some more video and stuff, and then head on back down. So I'm going to go back to San Diego. Well, I'm back down to the Pacific Crest Trail. And the junction where Garnett Trail takes off, sign is right to my right there. And such a beautiful day. I think I'm going to go ahead and backtrack on the trail. I could go straight. And that's a bit of a shortcut. But then you have a bit of a hike back to your car if it's in penny pines. There is some parking down from penny pines too. So if you want to use the more direct sunrise highway trail, then that's probably the thing to do. I'm going to go ahead this at this point and go left, which is back on the PCT. Well, made it back to the trail head, penny pines. Great, tight today. Here's some tips for you. One is be sure to bring a lot of water. It gets hot, very exposed, not much shade. So definitely want to bring a lot of water. I would recommend some hiking poles, particularly for the upper part of the trail because the rocks are pretty loose and give you some balance. Definitely want to have some sunblock and a hat. And beyond that, I think it's just one of the most enjoyable hikes that I'm aware of in San Diego County. So I highly recommend it. Just be sure to go early. This is Jeffrey Douglas. Remember, get outdoors.
