Bernardo Mountain Hike

Join us on a new adventure as we journey to Bernardo Mountain in Escondido. The 6.7-mile hike will cross Lake Hodges, walk a segment of the Coast-to-Crest Trail, view a riparian environment and take on a challenging climb to great 360-degree views at the summit.

This hike is rated difficult! Please self-evaluate your hiking and fitness levels before going on this hike. You are welcome to hike at your own pace, however, if you fall behind, it is your responsibility to complete the hike.

Afterwards, we can go out to eat and continue fellowship.
