March 6, 2021Nice, basic, easy couple hour hike without much thought to it.
February 12, 2021February 7, 2021Dyar Springs trail badly overgrown with poison oak north of the Juaquapin trail. still some snow.
January 17, 2021December 31, 2020Awesome trail. Better during spring most likely. A bit muddy after the rains but fun to be in the snow a bit. Bring hiking poles for so of the terrain that’s slushy. Otherwise a fabulous hike. We extended it a bit as well. More photos on Instagram at stephanie.sandiego
December 20, 2020October 29, 2020May 6, 2020September 17, 20199/17/19 Early morning hike. Pretty scenery, good amount of shade overall, very quiet (no other hikers seen). Saw turkeys. Harvey Moore trail was rocky, while Juaquapin Trail was very overgrown. Lots of poison oak throughout the length of the trail.
August 6, 2019June 19, 2019Very pretty hike, with nice views at several points and a surprisingly large amount of flowering plants along the route. Dyer trail heavily overgrown. . . hard to see trail at times, so AllTrails map was handy.
June 2, 2019Lots of water in the creek and wildflowers still in bloom all over the meadows.

First to ReviewWe ended up doing a longer variation of the hike mapped out here. The weather was nearly perfect and the hike was beautiful and serene. We only passed 3 other hikers and that was in the last 2 miles of our 8.5 miles day. Would definitely like to do this one again.
