    Lovely views up here...

    These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here's where things grow...but of course, without the top you can't have any sides. It's the top that defines the sides -- Robert Persig After the ridiculous struggle on Koko Crater, it was clear I needed to add more hills to these walking/hiking workouts. I'd lost the hill strength I had when I was hiking every evening in Nor Cal. Miss those Morgan Hill nights hiking Harvey Bear, Coyote Lake, Uvas Canyon, Calero, Santa Teresa Peak and Mt Madonna. What a wonderful area it was to live and work in! Boat Canyon is the perfect add on to hiking the Crystal Cove backcountry or Laguna Canyon trail system. By taking the Bommer Ridge trail from Coastal Peak park, I was able to create a 3.5 hour, 10 mike hike with plenty of hill work. The hike down to the bluffs overlooking the ocean also provides great views although with no shade do this hike in the morning or evening, or on a cooler day like I did. Will continue to add other routes and other hills out here and Boat Canyon is a worthy addition!

    This is such an amazing short hike to get a spectacular view of so much coastal area from San Clemente to Newport you are in the center of the most amazing scenic territory. The hike itself is short but a worthwhile climb up terrain make this spot ideal. No dogs and well groomed trail with parking in a residential area. Live here forever and never came up here. Go the Ranch afterwards a short 5 min drive from this spot and enjoy your day with a nice glass of wine.

    Trail head... first big hill
