Weir Canyon- Anaheim, CA


After a couple of very busy weeks, Sim and I were able to finally get out on a trail again. On this Saturday morning, we ended up in Anaheim, CA, home to the "happiest place on earth" aka Disneyland.

This trail was a nice loop, just shy of 4 miles. The rolling peaks and valleys make this what I'd consider a moderate hike.

Being summer, the hills were brown and carpeted with dry brush, spotted with an occasional pop of dark green. There was very little shade along the way, but luckily the morning was cloudy. Nothing seems to soak up the sunshine and heat like a little, black dog. So if you ever decided to visit this trail, rub on some sunscreen, pull on a hat, and pack extra water.

The suburban neighborhoods encase the open area of the trail, but its still a little escape from the real bustle and noise of the city life. Its a great place for some morning or evening exercise and it took us less than two hours to complete the loop at a leisurely pace.
