| OHCC LIVING | JANUARY 2023 | 39
OHCC Walkers and Hikers has a year-round calendar
that highlights some of the best places to explore in San
Diego County. It is a great way to meet people and build
friendships while experiencing the diversity of San Diego
County wildlands. Interesting fact: San Diego County has the
greatest biological diversity of any county in the entire nation!
Walkers and Hikers offers two levels of experiences. Casual
walks and more rigorous hikes that are offered on alternating
Thursdays and Fridays. We are planning quarterly weekend
get-aways. Our outings take us to places with historical
significance, interesting geology, wildflowers, birds, and more.
You are sure to explore areas of San Diego County you've never
seen before and learn about and enjoy the outdoors with like-
minded people.

January Events:
• Jan. 13th - Lake Poway Loop Trail (walk) Try this 2.8-mile loop trail
that is generally considered an easy route. This is a very popular area
for birding, hiking and horseback riding, so you are likely to meet other
people. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit any time.
• Jan. 19th - Rancho La Costa Ridgeline Trail (hike) Try this 3.8 mile
out and back trail near Carlsbad. Generally considered a moderately
challenging route. This is a popular trail for birding, hiking and
running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times
of day.
• Jan. 26th - Highland Valley Trail (walk) Discover this 3.7 mile out and
back trail near San Dieguito River Park in Escondido. It is generally
considered an easy route.
We hope to see you on the trail!
