"Anyone who wants a full day of hiking on a reasonably easy trail will be delighted by Big Laguna. This lightly trafficked route is low-incline and relatively low-effort, and your endeavors will be rewarded with scenic pine tree groves and tranquil lakes, as well as wildflowers in the spring. Just note the $5 day pass fee, and be mindful not to venture onto the more difficult Pacific Crest Trail if that's not what you had in mind." - Archana Ram, Claire Trageser
