Trail Wanderlust
A couple of weekends ago I did a combination of hiking and biking in the Descanso and Cuyamaca area doing a bit more of my ongoing project to assess all of the California Riding and Hiking Trail segments in the county. I have updated the interactive map on my page to reflect some of the … Continue reading “Cuyamaca Area CRHT”
The last couple of weekends I have spent some time riding and a little bit hiking around the northern part of San Diego County and into Riverside County. I was able to get out on the final northern section of the California Riding and Hiking Trail (CRHT) in San Diego County. One thing that has … Continue reading “CRHT – Beauty Mountain Wilderness”
This weekend I did some more recon on the California Riding and Hiking Trail (CRHT) between Warner Springs and Chihuahua Valley Road. The area pretty much qualifies as the North Back 40 of the county. I have updated my GPS files and interactive map on my site. If I mention a mileage marker or waypoint … Continue reading “CRHT Snooping”
I have an ongoing project of personally surveying the California Riding and Hiking Trail throughout San Diego County. I have a page up on my site with an interactive map of San Diego’s counties’ GIS data on where the trail is/supposed to be. I have been adding my notes on the actual placement and status of the various trail sections. You have … Continue reading “CRHT Recon in East County”
This past weekend Nichol and I rode a modified version of the Cuyamaca Grand Loop. It is very much looking like spring up in the Cuyamaca Mountains with lots of greenery, blooming plants and wildflowers. We started off from the East Mesa staging and rode the singletrack up to the park headquarters and then took the … Continue reading “Cuyamaca Mountains and CRHT Fun”
I have added a page to the site for the California Riding and Hiking Trail. At this point its designed to share my on-going information gathering on the trail in the form of an interactive Google map. I have not physically ridden all of the sections of the trail so if during the course of … Continue reading “CRHT Page Added”
So for the last couple of weeks I have been out exploring and researching the California Riding and Hiking Trail (CRHT) here in San Diego County. The history of this trail dates back to 1945 when the state legislature passed the California Riding and Hiking Trails Act which called for a 3,000 mile multi-use loop trail … Continue reading “Exploration on the CRHT”
I had a mighty fine time futzing around in the Cuyamaca Mountains that included a ramble up to Champagne Pass. I started out heading south on the Eastside singletrack and then up East Mesa Fireroad. East Mesa was quite pretty, but I could tell it was a little past the prime of spring color. On … Continue reading “East Mesa – Champagne Pass”
I was ready to get in a sizable ride, but when record highs projected I decided a mighty early start with plenty of water was in order for my outing up in the Cuyamaca Mountains. I was at the trail-head at sunrise and was rolling shortly thereafter. The temps were nice at that time of … Continue reading “Cuyamaca Big Loop”
It was time for a dawn patrol ride in the Cuyamaca Mountains and Anza Borego Desert State Park. I was at the trailhead bright and early. Too early was my first thought as it was quite brisk (mid-50’s) and I was dressed for the heat to come. I started out at the San Diego River … Continue reading “Cuyamaca – ABDSP”
