NO HIKE IF RAINING. Remember to take water.  No need to register, just show up.

SAN YSIDRO FALLS – 8:30 AM The trail heads up picturesque San Ysidro Canyon. This steep, narrow upper canyon is filled with small waterfalls and pools, ending at a 60-foot waterfall. (“Day Hikes SB”, R. Stone) Hiking Distance: 3.7 miles round trip; Elevation gain: 1200 feet; Hiking Time: 2.5 hours (go at your pace).  Difficulty: Moderate- strenuous.  At the falls, the usual stop point, several hikers usually extend the hike up towards east Camino Cielo Rd.  This is an option for anyone interested.    Co-leader sweeps the trail, Hikers look out for each other, No one left behind. DIRECTIONS: Meet at the San Ysidro trail head on Mountain Drive just east of San Ysidro Ranch. From either direction, exit Fwy 101 at San Ysidro Rd and turn toward the mountains. Go 1.0 mile to East Valley Rd (CA 192) and turn right.  Continue 0.9 miles to Park Lane and turn left. (Park Lane is easy to miss.  As you get near, you’ll see a “San Ysidro Creek” sign on your right, then look for nine closely spaced Eucalyptus trees on your left.  You’ll turn left after the last one.) Go 0.4 miles and as Park Lane turns right, you veer left onto East Mountain Drive. The trailhead is 0.2 miles ahead on the right.  Park on East Mountain.  HIKE LEADERS:   Bo Kite, roykite2004@yahoo.com, Richard Haro richardharo@icloud.com  Deborah Rodgers, Donna Haro,  Neil Polans, & Susan Wong.

If you are uncertain about the difficulty of our hikes, you might want to begin with Jesusita Trail to Moreno Ranch.  It is the easier of our hikes, with less elevation gain.  But all of our hikes have significant stretches with uneven footing.  Happy Hikers events are open to graduates of Newcomers, visitors of Newcomers, and members of the general public.  Our hikes feature good conversations and the opportunity to make new friends.

Hope you will join us!
