Bridle trail via April

A nice little urban hike, we extended it some by starting at the canyon in Hillcrest at Richmond st and Cypress ave. Right before you walk into the 163, follow the trail left and you'll soon come to a bridge you may remember if you've ever been on the Haunted Trail around Halloween. (In other words, don't do this hike in October.) Though the sounds of vehicles are never far away, overall it's a pretty shady hike w/ a few hundred trees including some redwood.



April giving our faithful companion Copper a water break.



A sweet little flower chain left abandoned on the trail.



The puddle only covered a small portion of the path but Copper new just what to do! I like to soak my feet when given the opportunity hiking, too.



In sight of El Prado bridge connecting the West and middle portions of Balboa Park. For being in such an urban place we still only saw a handful of other people on a Sunday. This trail is easy enough to do for the toddler we saw and ends at the Redwood Circle near the lawn bowling just North of the El Prado bridge on the West side. Made for a very relaxing Easter.
