The Hike
My hikes are slow paced (1.5-2 mph) and the end time is approximate only. We take breaks, we explore, and we don't leave anyone behind. If this hike isn't for you, please find another that suits your needs.
You are in for a treat on the Vista Del Mar trail with amazing views of the ocean, a different perspective of Boney Mountain, pretty scenery around the neighborhoods, and ponds.
