Sycamore Canyon

February's monthly Leash Your Fitenss hike was so much fun, and boy did we have a great big turnout!

Lots of my regular friends came out, but so did a bunch of new ones! Its always fun meeting new friends!

We did a new trail that I'd hadn't been on before. Mom had mountain biked here a long time ago...but she never took me to hike here. Sycamore Canyon Open Space Preserve is beautiful, and only about 20 minutes from the house. We should hike here more often!!

It was a gorgeous day for a February. A little on the warm side, so we started early to beat the heat.

Guess who I got to see again!?! Snapdragon!! She was adopted by some friends of ours and is thriving! She has a brother & a sister dog, and two sister cats. Here's a picture of her with her big sister Marci...her brother Andi is in the back of Marci but you can't really see him. Doesn't she look great?

Snapdragon (now called Luna) was SO happy to see me (and Mom too). She started yelping and crying like crazy when she spotted me, and when we got to hike off leash she stuck right next to me. It was the sweetest thing!

We had so much fun! Running thru the fields...and there was no one else out there so it was great!

A number of years ago there was a big fire that came thru and burned the old Ranch House that was on the property. They've since build another one, but they are still trying to figure out what to do with the old structure. It was pretty cool.

I got lots of kisses from Luna!

Another fun day, and I was exhausted by the time we got home. I love my Leash Your Fitness family!

Mission Trails Hike with Leash Your Fitness

She's a bad ass. BOL! Every time our friends Anna comes hiking with us, she cracks us up. She an incredible athlete...she does marathons, triathlons and loves to hike. But, she also takes her fashion very seriously, and always looks fantastic when we are out on the trail.

And don't let those little dogs fool ya. They can hike with the best of them, often doing 10-12 miles...on their own, with minimal pick-up-age. If Mom tried to take me on a 10 mile hike, she'd be wearin me on her shoulders in order to get back to the car! 

It was still kind of hot when we did this hike. We were all wondering when we were going to get our fall weather!.

The fog hung in the valleys and looked kind of cool.

We of course were forced to take a group picture.

and then we hiked UP! Up to the top of that ridge in front of me.

and up....

and up....

my tongue was hangin! good thing Mom always brings lots of water!

We made it to the top! What a view we had!

another fun hike with Leash Your Fitness. I love fall & winter...its always too hot to do these during the summer! Can't wait for the next one coming up this weekend!
