I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Whatever hiking means to you – a way to get out and immerse yourself in nature, a good physical workout (or a mental one!), etc. – there are endless trails in Southern California to choose from. If you are looking for a mountain trail that will bring out your adventurous side, and reward it with unbeatable views, check out the best – and hardest – hike near Mount Baldy, which also happens to be one of the best hikes in Southern California.
Though the trail is open all year, the best time for this hike is between May and November, as it becomes increasingly challenging, and possibly dangerous, during winter months. In mid-summer, it’s a good idea to start early in the day both to take advantage of cooler temps and to maybe have some time on the trail to yourself.
