Spring Hike



There is nothing more serene than hiking through the woods or forests in the spring.  Life is abundant in the sun sprinkled meadows among the old oaks in Blue Sky Reserve near San Diego.  It is so calming to hear the wind rustling through the trees and grasses while the birds chirp and flit from limb to limb.

Sun dappled leaves filter the light and bring an ethereal feel to the wooded floor.


Unfortunately not all is perfect.  Signs of the Witch Creek Wildfire that ravaged many areas in the eastern part of San Diego county two years ago are still prominent throughout the reserve.


Much of the woods were laid to waste.  Thankfully, many of the old growth trees were spared so that we can enjoy them today.  Through the efforts of the community and the Blue Sky Community Foundation the reserve is coming back to life and will continue on for the enjoyment of others.  Please remember to conserve and help protect these natural habitats so that future generations can benefit from the tranquility of this beautiful ecological reserve.
