8:09 "this hike should only be taken at low tide"
Oh yeah, I learned my lesson on that one, I hiked from the Torrey Pines parking lot up into the bluffs then came back down to walk the beach back and about halfway back on the beach I realized the occasional set that came in seemed to bring the water a bit too close to the cliffs. Just a few minutes later a set brought the water all the way up to the cliffs and I had to jog back to my car soaked from the waist down haha.
OMG! But the silver lining is your hiking shoes have never been cleaner. There is a hike I want to take near this called The Ho Chi Mihn trail. It looks pretty intense.
@@RockessentialTim I think I may have hiked Ho Chi Minh Trail once but that was a long time ago so I don't really remember it that well, pretty much any hike up there in the bluffs that take you down to the beach is a fun one, hiking down from the gliderport to Blacks Beach is really fun too. I mostly stick to the east county mountains nowadays, there are some real rugged hikes out here that are good training for mountaineering, class 3 scrambling is everywhere.
Any recommendations? I have the eastern end on my radar for fall. Thanks.
@@RockessentialTim we've got hikes in all sorts of varieties, cuyamaca peak is about 6 miles round trip and on an access road like the main trail of Woodson, stonewall peak is across the highway and is a really cool 4 mile trail, you've got El cajon mountain as well with what is supposedly the hardest hike in San Diego at about 13 miles and 4000 ft elevation gain, but my personal favorite goes to the south ridge of El cajon mountain, it rises straight out of El Monte Valley and climbs very steep up 3200 ft over 3 miles, it involves a decent bit of 3rd class scrambling, around 1000 ft of it with some pretty crazy exposure on the last rock slab, I don't know if you're interested in that sorta stuff but that's what I like a lot. We also have a few waterfalls, three sisters is a local favorite, I think the hike is around 7 miles round trip, cedar Creek falls is really cool and a popular cliff diving spot, it got so notorious for cliff diving that now you need a permit. We also have kitchen Creek falls and green valley falls but I haven't really been to them so I can't really give my input on em.
Thanks! I know some of these hikes, El Cajon sounds cool but its a bit of a challenge at my age. I try to stick to 5 or 6 miles and no more than 1500 elevation change. I absolutely would like to check out Cedar Falls though and possibly 3 Sisters.
love this video, your energy is amazing.. now i want to go hiking . 😂
Well now you know where to go to find one! SD has literally hundreds. Thanks for the comment!

Love your intro and humor with a random people to pick a destination👍
It seemed like a good idea at the time😀
Hey Tim. Wow, what amazing sites. I particularly like your scientific approach to choosing hikes!! Hahaha
Nice to know that all those years in school weren't wasted!
@@RockessentialTim hahaha. Isaac Newton eat your heart out!!!
I love the "You do realize you're taking hiking advice from someone picking them out of a hat" part...
Awesome ! Lived just north of Fletcher's Cove in Solana Beach from 85 - 95... thanks for such a fun trip ! ✌️

Once again Tim..as always..the videos great and the music is awesome!
Sometimes I wonder if doing these videos is just a lame excuse for writing music. In any event, thank you!
@@RockessentialTim Your production values are stellar mate!
If you had asked me to pick them I would pick all the waterfall hikes. Lol. I know there is a lot more in San Diego area. As for potato chip, I’m just glad the rock did not crumble beneath your feet. Ha ha.
Ha!! Seriously though, San Diego has some incredible waterfall hikes but being its July, most of them are not running until winter. We'll have to get together one day and walk somewhere, maybe if I get up your way one of these days.
beautiful !! I want to take a hike there this weekend.Thank you for sharing
Right on. San Diego is so beautiful!
Love this list! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great video Tim if i am ever in those areas i will definitely visit them.
San Diego is one of the most beautiful places in the US. In my opinion the best beaches anywhere.
Annie's Canyon is a really cool walk.
Nice seeing the new videos.
Rock On
H.L.
Right back at ya. Rock on!
I am going to shamelessly subscribe! Thank you for the great videos :)
Right on, thank you!
Thank you!! My husband and I are traveling from Utah to San Diego next week and I’m looking forward to trying a few of these. Love your commentary.
Have a good time. If you were here now it is in the 80's!
@@RockessentialTim that’s what I heard. It’ll be in the 60s when we arrive. I’m a little jealous as we’re freezing here in the mountains! Stay cool!
Love it!
Thank you so much for a very informative video, especially appreciated the addresses for the hikes. Going to SD for a family vacation and found your video very useful and entertaining🙂
Have fun!
Hi Tim! Another amazing video! I love how you included the public by asking them to pick a hiking trail out of the hat! That was cool! These were some amazing hikes you shared! The first one, oh man, that was narrow but beautiful! I would have to wait some months before I tackle that one, lose a few pounds! LOL! I loved them all, San Diego is beautiful! I love the poatao chip cliff, looked just like one! Looked a little scary to me, but fun! I'm so happy you all enjoyed yourself. I was waiting for this video when I knew you said you were visiting Sand Diego! Good job, my friend! You're a Rock Star! Thanks for sharing, Have a lovely rest of your week! God bless!
Thanks, Char. This one was, no pun intended, quite a journey! I saw your vid last night and good luck with the 1200 a day! Best to you and the fam!
@@RockessentialTim LOL! Thank you! Already lost 2.5 pounds since last week!
Have a blessed day
The hiker dressed in black shorts in front of the camera at 00:54 seconds in is Aaron Rodgers (who has a house in Solana Beach.
Wow, was too busy to notice. I filmed this in July of last year so I don't know if training camp was underway yet so it is possible...
Subbed. Great video !
Nice upload sir 🤙
Hi Tim! I should thank you fot the always great stuff you produce, as a brazilian i love love this californian way of life, i would like you come to Brazil to check out our style anda maybe make some videos down here.

Thanks!
Tim those locations are great. Loved seeing Potato Chip Rock again. Some absolutely beautiful scenery on those hike. Thanks for sharing these
I want to go back to this area in the winter. Its too hot to hit some of the more inland places I want to see.
PS: Heading out to Michigan next week to see family. Going canoeing on the AuSable.
Have a great time Tim, and be sure to shoot some video
Other great hikes: Iron Mountain Trail, Ho Chi Man Trail, any hike in Cuyamaca State Park, and Don't forget Anza Borrego Park...
Never been to Anza Borrego but I think we'll wait til fall. Wanna do that Slot canyon out there. Thanks!
Nice bodiddley reference
Thanks. I'd have quoted Jerome Green but he only spoke with Maracas.
She didnt seem so sure that she was from Florida.
Hi! I know this is an older video and you may not see this, but as far as sunset cliffs goes, do you think this is safe for a 5 year old? If we skip the caves?
If you walk along the road as I do in most of the video, then yes probably so.
Sunset Cliffs, Oh yeh always something interesting going on there. Like people slipping off the cliff and falling 30 feet to their death. Seriously, that is not a hike its a death path.
