SD - Hike - Volcan Mountain Trail

Details: Join us on a hiking excursion. This week we will be hiking the Volcan Mountain Trail on Saturday Nov 9 at 10am. It is a 4.9 mile trail located near Julian, California that features excellent vistas. This is a moderately challenging 4.9 mile in-and-out hike with around 1200 feet in elevation change. This is an open invite to members or non-members (and their pups!). Please be sure to mask-up/social distance, as appropriate. We will take the Volcan Mountain Trail near the old mining town of Julian. The trail follows an old road to the summit. This pleasant day hike provides excellent vistas. 

Optional after-hike picnic:

There will be an after-hike picnic starting about 30min after the end of the hike at Santa Ysabel East Preserve. With a really cool waterfall stream and some benches. The picnic will end 1 hour before sunset and you must leave before sunset. No alcohol. Text Jeremiah O'Neal 619-788-9407 if you only plan to do the picnic.
