Batiquitos Lagoon
Carlsbad
November 23, 2018
We took part in the REI “Opt Outside” movement, and hiked the Batiquitos Lagoon on Black Friday morning.
The outing gave us a chance to practice with our digital camera, but the photos posted here were taken on Meredith’s iPhone for convenience.
The hike out to the end of the trail, which runs along the North side of the lagoon, is almost entirely flat. The total distance out and back was three miles. We saw a snowy egret and a great heron, and many smaller birds. We stopped in the small visitors center at the West end of the lagoon when we returned, and found good displays about local wildlife and indigenous people of the area.
