SWEET Hike: Mount Soledad Memorial

Hey Hikers! In this Start of the WEEk Trail (SWEET) Hike we will head up to Mount Soledad. On the way, we’ll see the Japanese house that has a modern touch to it’s roof, we’ll walk under the Troll Bridge and head up to see some beautiful houses. We’ll pass the tree house which has a park under it and also see the Munchkin House (named so because of it’s low eves). Ask me on the hike and I’ll tell you where the true Munchkin Houses are. On the way back we’ll head into another gated neighborhood where the Dr. Suess house is located. We won’t see the actual house because it is within a gated area, but we’ll be in the same neighborhood. We will head down a small mountain or some call it a large hill. Please have good gripped hiking shoes.
