A Hike Up Mount Calavera~ Carlsbad CA ~
I don't do a great deal of hiking, but every now and then I get the inspiration. Such was the other day when I decided to hike up Mount Calavera in the Calavera Hills area of east Carlsbad, about 4 miles inland.

Basically that means it's solidified volcanic rock that remains in the area that was formerly the vent of an active volcano millions of years ago that eventually eroded … (11 comments)

We took part of the day on Friday (on one of the most beautiful afternoons we have seen in a while, with temps in the low 90s due to the Santa Ana winds) to visit Julian California, about 50+ miles from Carlsbad in the mountains just outside the Cleveland National Forest.
