November Coed Hike
Good morning hike-aholics of San Diego! The weather is finally starting to cool down. While some people associate fall weather with football season, I think of hiking! The crisp air in the morning is just perfect for an outdoor activity. Join me on Saturday, November 16th to hike Lake Hodges Overlook trail at Elfin Forest in Escondido. This is one of those hikes that’ll leave you saying “I can’t believe this is in San Diego.” The stunning views of the surrounding reservoirs come at a hefty 1,400 ft of elevation gain. Not for the inexperienced!
