Who says the start of September has to mean the end of summer? In Murrieta, we make our own rules! As the sweltering summer heat is finally met by a refreshing breeze, those sunny days become even more pleasant; you’ll quickly find yourself agreeing that summer doesn’t have to end quite yet. Don’t worry—there’s still plenty of time to turn September and October into your perfect “second summer” and make it one you’ll never forget! Here are three ways you can embrace a second summer in Murrieta.
Second summer is the time to take on all those trails you meant to try during summer, but missed out on due to the heat or lack of time. Expand your summer vibes with a stroll in the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve or up to the scenic Tenaja Falls, which even ends at a majestic waterfall! Play a round or two at California Oaks Golf Club, The Golf Club at Rancho California, or Bear Creek Golf Club. Ready to saddle up? Try your hand at horseback riding at Susie Q Ranch or Blossom Hill Ranch. There’s no wrong way to soak up the sun in Murrieta!
Breweries provide a great location to enjoy the good weather, whether you’re with a group of friends or flying solo. Check out a few local Murrieta favorites like Garage Brewing Co. or 8 Bit Brewing Company for a good time and lots of unique beers. Don’t worry, be hoppy! If wine is more your thing, don’t miss out on the 3rd Annual Great Taste of Europa Wine & Food Festival on September 15th, where you can sample over 50 different European wines– as well as brews, spirits, seltzers, and a deliciously wide variety of gourmet food options.
If you find yourself needing a little relaxation before jumping into the fall season, look no further than the renowned Murrieta Hot Springs Resort. This healing sanctuary, tucked away amongst the rolling hills and palm lined avenues of Southern California, offers countless opportunities for guests to soak up the rest of summer. Whether you’re coming for a day trip or a longer getaway, treat yourself to a dip in mineral-rich hot springs, refreshing cold plunge, a luxurious spa treatment, a carefully curated meal, and so much more.
Don’t let your calendar tell you summer is over when you can have a second summer in Murrieta! There is still so much to do, from outdoor adventure to sipping on exotic wines. Make the most of the days ahead and turn this second summer into one you’ll never forget.
