Finding Inspiration on the Trails— Hiking & Photography in San Diego & Beyond

Hiking trails in San Diego and beyond can be great areas for inspiration. I love the iconic areas that all us photographers like to take epic photos at, the ones that everyone recognizes, but I also get a kick out of finding a unique scene that has not been over explored. By getting out on to hiking trails you can find a unique perspective on the area where you live. All genres of photography can benefit from this.
