Looking to get outside and do something easy the whole family can enjoy? We headed to Buck Gully preserve in Newport Beach to hike the trail. Buck Gully, a hidden gem nestled in the coastal canyon of Newport. A peaceful, fun hike with small streams cascading from the side with birds & frogs chirping along the way. The trail is open from dusk to dawn, it's used for hikers and mountain bikers. ... Parking: free street parking; it's a residential area so make sure to read the street signs. Trail: starts in Corona del Mar a total of 4.5 miles. It's a single track trail, with a steady climb and a few bridge crossings. The trail is narrow so sturdy walking shoes is recommended. Time: Plan approximately 40 - 60 minutes; depending on your pace and length of hike. Notes: there are no restrooms available on the trail. Make sure to bring water with you; there's shade on the trails. The trail is not stroller friendly; a baby carrier is best. Dogs are not allowed.

We are honored to continue to support and spread the word about Breast Cancer Awareness during the month of October. We teamed up with @smallbatchdoughnuts to create a special doughnut to thank the team at @breastcancerangels for what they do as an organization. Breast Cancer Angels has been around for 20 years. The organization's founder was diagnosed with breast cancer; she noticed during chemo treatments some of the patients were not showing up consistently. It... turned out they couldn't afford their treatments. The founder started asking for donations and giving the cash to the nurses to help the patients in financial need. We are a small business; we support one another and we love growing friendships throughout our community . . www.planadayout.com . . #cancer #breastcancerawareness #cancerawareness #pado #planadayout #doughnuts #healthyliving #nationaldesertday #desertday #instafood #foodie #smallbatch #smallbatchdoughnuts #donuts # #doughnut #breastcancerangels #womensupportingwomen #supportsmallbusiness See more
