We visited The Grotto and Lion's Head trails with stunning views of Lake Huron at both locations. "We decided to spend the weekend in San Diego. Although we picked a cloudy weekend and missed the sunsets, we still had a lot of fun. ☀️" - from our Global Ambassador Ciara in LA! "Really enjoying my first months in Hong Kong.
