One of my favorite easy hiking trails is El Dorado Nature Center in my hometown in Long Beach. I've been going there for quite some time, there is a great 4 mile hike with different trails. Nature Center is a very relaxing getaway from the bustle of the city, which is only minutes away! I love how it feels like I'm in the mountains or a totally different state. There is so much nature and the trees are definitely a sight, like the boulevard shaped "tunnel" tree..one of my faves for sure! If you're looking for a nice hiking spot you should totally check out El Dorado Nature Center. It's worth it! 

I can't wait to go on another hike with friends tomorrow before I start school, pictures coming soon! :) 

Happy week loves!

June gloom is here! We also got some light rain in SoCal and I decided to drive up to Palos Verdes' beautiful Point Vicente Lighthouse, a place I've wanted to go for a while. Although the day was muggy, windy and rainy it was still perfect for a stroll  around the lighthouse with an amazing view of the ocean. It was very refreshing and I also got to check out the lighthouse museum, it had so much great history about the lighthouse, marine life, and the Peninsula. 

I'm hoping to go back to do more hiking and exploring around the trails, plus parking and the museum is all free! Definitely a landmark to check out.

 I finally got a chance to go out hiking to  Palos Verdes Bluff trails. This is without a doubt one of my favorite trails for hiking just because of this amazing view! ...Seriously, it never gets old. There's no place like home! I truly missed hiking here, it's been a while and there was no better feeling than just hiking with great company!
