Trail: Eagle Rock Hike (On Pacific Crest Trai)
Date: April 23, 2023
Time: Start the hike at 0930
Brief Description:
The Eagle Rock hike, near San Diego in Warner Springs, is an easy hike on the legendary Pacific Crest Trail. The hike is 6.2 miles long (Est 2.5 hours), without too much altitude gain. It is an out-and-back trail. The hikes are through meadows and streams, if we are lucky there will still be loads of flowers blooming. At the end of the trail, we come to Eagle Rock, a rock formation that (you guessed it) is shaped like an eagle.

Address/Parking:
Trailhead/Parking Lot:
The trail entrance is across the street from the fire station. I will send trailhead directions, but ideally, we can carpool, we can save gas, and make friends! The trailhead is a little over an hour away from Central San Diego.
What to bring?
Must haves:
Sturdy shoes and at least 1L of water you can carry during the hike. A snack for the trail (we will take a short break a the top).
Wear layers, it will 3000Ft elevation it could be colder than in San Diego.
Optional Items: a Camelback or small backpack to carry water. A camera (or your phone). Trekking poles if you need/want to use them.
What NOT to bring?
1. Pets. Sorry, I love to hike with my dog and although dogs are allowed on this trail, no dogs on the group hike for the comfort of everyone
2. Kids. Again, love my kiddo but this is your time. Please no children or spouses, future hikes might be open to children or spouses but this first hike is just for spouses.
These group hikes are a get way to try out some area trails to hike with your family in the future!
