So there I was, bored on a Saturday afternoon as usual. The dogs were getting antsy, but it was too muddy to play with them in the backyard after the all the rain we had last night. Instead of sitting around watching tv and movies all day again, I decided we would go for a little adventure. We drove 10 minutes over to Yucaipa Regional Park, and decided to go for a nice little hike up to Zanja Peak. It was a pretty easy hike, no more than 20 minutes to get to the top, which is at about 3500 feet. The dogs had a blast running up the trail, chasing birds, and enjoying the view. We didn't do the whole trail loop, which is about 4 miles, but from where we started, I think the trail was about a mile up & a mile back. Next time we'll have to start earlier in the day and do the whole trail. The park closes at 5, so I didn't want us to get stuck inside the park. After we got done with our hike, we walked around the little lake, which looks like it is great fun during the summer - swimming lagoon, water slides, snack bar, little sandy beach, and even a separate fishing pond that is stocked with 1000 pounds of trout monthly! We'll have to go fishing there this spring too, as soon as the weather clears up a little. All in all, it was a great day, and I'm glad we got out of the house!
Here's a few pictures from our adventure today...
