Hiking -- San Ysidro Trail -- March 1

This popular trail heads up the picturesque San Ysidro Canyon along San Ysidro Creek. A little rain between now and then would give us some cascades! The steep, narrow upper canyon is filled with small waterfalls, continuous cascades and pools. We will pass Gateway Rock, a large eroded sandstone wall, and watch the rock climbers ascend (those of you who want to climb, we promise to take lots of pictures!!).

The hike leads to San Ysidro Falls, a beautiful 60-foot waterfall. Moderate difficulty for 1.5 miles. Then, the hiking becomes more challenging, up switchbacks with steeper ascent, crossing a stream and up to the base of San Ysidro Falls. Going up 10 more minutes on a narrow trail, you can get a view of the ocean. Allow two and a half hours overall. Water, hat, sunscreen and hiking boots are recommended. Camera optional!

Lunch: at Via Vai in the Upper Village after the hike!

When and Where: Saturday March 1 at 8:30 am. Drive on 101 to the San Ysidro Road exit. Turn toward the mountains and drive one mile north to East Valley Road and turn right. Continue 0.8 miles to Park Lane and turn left. Drive 0.3 miles to East Mountain Drive and bear to the left. The trailhead is 0.2 miles ahead on the right. Park along East Mountain Drive. We will meet at the trailhead.

We had a great hike today to San Ysidro Falls - the water coming down the falls was fantastic and the weather was perfect for hiking. The two ladies in the picture made sure Robin and I did not get lost.

After the hike Bob Lilley joined us and we had a feast at Via Vai restaurant in the upper village.
