Another weekend, another hike... Los Penasquitos Canyon trail hike was posted on Meetup multiple times, but I never went because of how easy it appeared to be. It was indeed easy. With less than 300 ft elevation gain (mostly flat), this trail goes through the wooded areas of the canyon for the most distance with a bit of open space close to the so-called waterfall (not really a waterfall, but large rocks with water - stunning nevertheless).
Hiking this trail alone or in a smaller group is best because you get to enjoy the sounds of birds and animals around you. In a large group, this was less enjoyable due to noise pollution.
I actually heard coyotes way in the distance right in the middle of the day, the sound that would make me shiver had it been nighttime.
Parking was rather easy, and while some people on AllTrails mentioned that there is a $3 fee, we were not charged anything.
Everything is so green now in the middle of January after all the rain, so it was really enjoyable to see life unfold all around.
Overall, I enjoyed the hike. I would come back to explore different trails in the future.
