As I approached the dunes driving down Highway 120, I could see off in the distance a very large dune, several hundred feet high, shaped like a pyramid, which seemed to be several miles from the road. I sort of had made up my mind, I had to get there, and have a closer look.
I decided to check out the tidepools along the beachside cliffs of La Jolla. It's a scenic and beautiful hike which can be enjoyed year-round, but is best enjoyed at low tide. There are sea caves, and plenty of sea life all along the way.
I would be hiking to Cucamonga Peak in the Angeles Forest. This is a scenic and beautiful 12 mile hike, with about 4000 feet of gain, past Icehouse Saddle. There is a creek running through Icehouse Canyon. There were lots of beautiful cascading waterfalls here.
