Daley Ranch - East Ridge and Boulder Loop Hike

When: RESCHEDULED Tuesday, February 21st, 2023 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

Location: Daley Ranch (Escondido)

Join us for our second (2nd) weekday bi- monthly San Diego ramble to observed birds, animals, and blooming plants. A ramble is a walk taken for pleasure in the countryside. 

East Ridge and Boulder Loop is considered a moderately challenging route. While one can complete this loop in about 2.5 hour with non-stop hiking, we will enjoy nature, comradery, and lunch; so plan on 4 hours. This is a popular trail for hiking, mountain biking, and running.

This is an open invite to members or non-members and requires an RSVP (limited to 15 hikers). Please be sure to mask-up when appropriate and social distance on the trail, which is very easy.

Details: We will begin at the Daley Ranch Entrance Sign (north of the parking lot).
