HIKE - Crestridge Ecological Reserve

About this event

HIKE - 4 to 5 mile moderate figure 8 loop hike through a portion of the Crestridge Ecological Reserve. The Reserve is a 3000 acre well maintained natural park located in Crest just east of El Cajon. It supports oak woodlands, surrounded by coastal sage scrub and chaparral. These habitats provide nesting and foraging habitat for raptor species and native plant species. There will be gradual ascents and descents along the figure 8 loop trail (500 total feet of elevation). Great views! We will be taking the Kids Loop, Horned Lizard Trail, to the Valley View and Lake View Trails. The small visitor center was designed by local artist James Hubbell.

Wear good hiking shoes, plenty of water, hiking poles recommended, restrooms at the start and at the end.

Possible lunch afterwards at the La Cresta Restaurant and Cafe located at 1329 La Cresta, Crest
