The Cross Hike

I love this hike to the cross. It is fun and isn’t too hard or long so kids can come as well as dogs. There are two different ways you can go. You can start from the tennis courts, which make the hike a little longer, but it is beautiful because all the mountains surround you. Or you can start at another spot where most people do. This way is a lot shorter; I would say it takes about 45 minutes to hike the whole thing. Now if you start by the tennis courts it is a bit longer so maybe an hour or an hour and fifteen minutes. There are some big hills but not many, the hike is very nice and it is so beautiful because you can look out over the mountains and see the city.

When you get more elevated you can start to see the big huge cross.

The cross is white and at night it is lit up so you could even do this hike at night if you wanted. It is fun to get to the top of the hike and see the cross there. I always take pictures here. They also have fun things like a sign in book so you can write something if you want. If you follow the trail the other way and keep going you will get to a spot known as the Ying Yang. This place is fun because it’s square cement where someone painted a ying yang sign on it and then every one writes his or her name on it. This spot is also fun to take pictures at and the view is beautiful! It is even faster going down hill, which is fun haha because it is a short hike with amazing views!
