Fresno... Again... Luckily, this time it is still in SoCal. Fresno Canyon Trail is a less than original name for a canyon. Can't they figure something new out? On the other hand, it by no means reminded me of the city of Fresno.
Located near Corona, CA, the trail is rated as "Hard" on AllTrails. I found it challenging due to elevation gain, but I didn't go that far to consider it hard. The sky was cloudy when I started, a typical morning for "June Gloom" in SoCal (yes, I know, it's not June anymore, but the weather has not got the message yet). It was rather pleasant, and the hills did not feel as difficult.
It started to clear out as I was approaching the second mile. And the hills continued...
I found a few cool plants...
On the way back, the sun was really out, and I was happy to be going downhill. While I could have extended this hike further, I felt 4 miles round trip with 1,100 ft elevation gain was a perfect beginning of July 4th.
As I finished my grocery shopping after the hike, I felt an earthquake swaying my car sideways. What a weird experience in California, and my first one!
