Raptor Ridge hike - (Moderate) hike. Beautiful views, less than 2 hours long. This is not a hike for beginners, as we walk briskly on the flat part and then a Moderate climb out to a lookout point to the East towards Wild Animal Park and back. Hydration, hat, sunscreen and for some, poles are recommended.
We may adjust the hike start time by + or - 30 minutes based on temps, so watch for any changes. Be sure to READ the directions to parking lot below, especially if it's your 1st time joining.

More details - Wear good hiking shoes for descent on the return. Just minutes north of RB off the 15 freeway in South Escondido. This is about a 4.2 mile hike and about 1:45 - 2 hrs round trip. Moderate hike, flat walking in the beginning and rising in elevation in the latter half to a gorgeous view of San Pasqual Valley.

Directions for Raptor Ridge - Hardest part is getting to the parking lot, so please do not be late! I encourage car pools whenever possible. Use the address on your Smartphone (and NOT Raptor Ridge):
If you have an android and use google maps, type this address:
14225 Highland Valley Road.
If you use an iphone and are using apple maps, type in this address:
14219 Highland Valley Road
or use the coordinates:
33.05819, -117.03044

As you head East, Park on right side of street in lot (South side) and we will meet at our cars before walking to trail head - which is further East down the street. A couple of people at previous hikes overshot the parking lot and their smartphones made them keep going. Again, just look for the small sign on right that says "Moon Valley Nursery"; It is AFTER you pass all the Pinery Nursery LLC signs, and it will also show the address on the sign:
14225 Highland Valley Road, Escondido.

Contact Carol if you’re going to be more than five minutes late at 858-449-2779

REMINDERS: Please do NOT sign up without placing it in your calendar, even if you are on the waitlist. Check the meetup posting at least 1-2 days in advance - to check comments, a possible change in start time by 30 minutes, or to change your own RSVP.
