Hiking Mistakes You Don’t Want To Make

Don’t Make the Same Mistake I Did on My Last Hike

Exploring the Vanalden Cave in Tarzana has been on my bucket list for ages, and I was so excited to finally check it out-but things didn’t go quite as planned! I didn’t research the trail as well as I should have and ended up getting lost trying to find my way there. After a bit of wandering, I decided to head back to my car empty-handed.
But this adventure isn’t over! I’m determined to come back, better prepared after studying the map and other hikers’ videos, and I’ll see that cave soon, I promise!
