Singles Hikes
Hike Los Cielos Trails near Elfin Forest Reserve,
9:00 am, Sat., October 26, 2019
Meet at GPS: 33.07745, -117.15949
Join us for a nice hike along the Los Cielos trails then into Elfin Forest Reserve Botanical trail -- not the Way Up trail. This less used trail is mostly level and parallels the Escondido Creek into Elfin Forest. We need to cross the stream on rocks 3 times to do the Botanical loop and back, which at low water time is easily doable, also with helping hands.
Round trip is about 4.5 miles with a ~150 ft elevation change, time ~2.5-3 hours. Leashed dogs are ok. Port-o-potties and tap water are available in Elfin Forest park.
Meet: 9:00 AM at Harmony Grove Rd and Via Ambiente Rd.
NOT AT ELFIN FOREST PARK.
Parking along Harmony Grove road, South side only. No parking in Via Ambiente which is the gated Olivenhain Water service road.
Directions: From Hwy-78 in Vista / San Marcos; Exit onto Melrose southbound, or Rancho Santa Fe Rd southbound, and follow each to San Elijo Rd. Then left (east) at San Elijo Rd., go into "San Elijo town". (South Twin Oaks Valley Rd becomes westbound San Elijo Rd and arrives there too). Right (south) onto Elfin Forest Rd, miles down at a sharp left bend it becomes Harmony Grove Rd. Follow ~0.4 mi. Look for the via ambiente road and parking on right (south side).
From I-15 in Escondido: exit at Nordahl southbound. Go across W. Mission Rd. and ~.2 mi turn Right (west) onto Country Club Dr. Follow south to Harmony Grove Rd., turn right (west) ~2.2 mi to Via Ambiente entrance on the left (south side) and find a place to park.
What to bring:
Suitable hiking footwear -shoes are ok, appropriate hiking clothing for the weather.
