Mission Trails Holiday Hike Dec. 21

Mission Trails Holiday Hike
Saturday, Dec. 21

Join the Hiking Ministry family from the Rock Church as we close 2019 with an easy-to-moderate holiday hike at Mission Trails Regional Park. It will be a fun time of fellowship while enjoying the beauty of God's creation in the middle of the San Diego City Limits! We will hike both the Grasslands Loop and the Oak Canyon Trails. With the recent rains, Oak Canyon Creek should have lots of water. Hope to see you all there!
