Hikers Hit the New Trail in Poway
A ceremony on Saturday opens a new trail segment of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy.
The San Dieguito River Park now offers a connection between multiple trails totaling 55 miles throughout San Diego County.
A group of more than a dozen dignitaries led by Poway City Councilman Jim Cunningham took on the new 10.28-mile section of the trail and arrived at the Old Coach—Coast to Crest Trail Link.
The trail is San Diego County’s first north-south connector to branch off from the 55-mile Coast to Crest trail, which leads from the ocean at Del Mar to the San Dieguito River’s source on Volcan Mountain.
