NEW: The San Dieguito River Parks Interpretive Ranger program will be providing guests a unique opportunity to tour of the Sikes Adobe Farmstead before our hike! This historic site within the San Dieguito River Park showcases the region’s 19th-century agricultural heritage. This well-preserved adobe farmhouse offers a glimpse into the lives of early pioneer farmers in San Diego.

Easy: Start out from the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead to enjoy a scenic 6.4-mile hike on the Mule Hill Historical Trail towards Raptor Ridge. There is little to no elevation gain.

Meeting location: San Dieguito River Park Parking Lot, 12655 Sunset Dr., Escondido 92025 (south of Via Rancho Parkway past The Hodges Golf Learning Center)
