Singles Hikes

Meet at GPS: 33.011160 , -116.954510
Join us for a hike up Mt. Woodson in Poway along the Fry-Koegel trail. This nice but less used trail is easier than starting from Poway Lake and goes through Oak woods and high bush Oak Scrub along the north side of Woodson. Later it merges into the open main trail from Poway Lake to finish 1 mile going to the top passing by potato chip rock.
Round trip; ~6.6 miles with a 1200 ft. gain, time ~4.5 hours. Leashed dogs (with water) are ok.
What to bring: Wear suitable hiking footwear – closed toe tennis shoes are ok, appropriate hiking clothing for the weather, snack, and 1-2 liters of water/drinks (3L if hot - for dogs, too), sunscreen, hat, camera, binoculars.
Meet: 9:00 AM, along Hwy 67 (west side) just south of Archie Moore Rd. Park on shoulder just after the long curved guard rail. Trail access is there.
Directions (2 ways): 1) From South I-15, exit at Camino Del Norte, left, east 4.4 miles to Espola Rd. Right on Espola, go to Poway Rd stop lights, then left (east) and up the hill to Hwy 67. Left at 67 towards Ramona. Follow 67 ~3.4 miles to left on Archie Moore Rd (past Woodson hikers parking). U-turn and come back hwy. 67 to park on shoulder after guard rail.
2) From South I-15, exit West Bernardo Dr./Pomerado Rd. Go right, east, cross bridge off I-15 and left at Highland Valley Rd.

La Orilla Trailhead
Meet at GPS: 33.009760, -117.239750
Come along for an easy 3 mile walkabout on the south side of the San Elijo Lagoon. The trail starts out in a woodsy area and opens up to coastal chaparral with an overview of the lagoon area.

2) Head southwards on S.Melrose or S.Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Where they merge follow S.Rancho Santa Fe. Watch for a big intersection where S.Rancho St Fe goes left (East)(straight becomes Manchester). Cross a bridge then right onto La Bajada. Then right onto La Noria. Follow this which mysteriously becomes El Camino Real again. Follow to La Orilla, right then a left curve and there's the trailhead.
