This website is intended to be an extensive and detailed list of hikes in and around San Diego county, including several outside of San Diego within the general Southern California region. I have done everything from local one and two mile city hikes to climbing Mt Whitney in one day. Please feel free to use any of the information I have here, and also being that some of the hikes were completed a few years ago, feel free to provide me with feedback about each of the hikes, whether it's something I've written that's changed, or if it was helpful information or not.
If you would like to publish an article here or a trail review from somewhere, just let me know. If you contribute something I will have no problem linking to your site and giving credit for your contribution.
