For our first winter Trend Hunter Fun Day, we headed out to the San Diego backcountry to go on an epic waterfall hike.
The beautiful mountains were our backdrop and trail mix was our fuel as we headed out on this sunny January day. Besides falling into a few creeks and having trouble running downhill, everything went smoothly as we arrived at our destination--the waterfall!
Our trail eventually led to a lagoon that was fed by a raging waterfall. We broke for lunch and enjoyed the sights and sounds of nature. Only in San Diego can you go on a winter hike to a waterfall that isn’t frozen.
Life is good when you’re a Trend Hunter.
