Outings

You are invited to participate in our scheduled outings and service events! What better way to learn about the watershed, while getting some exercise at the same time? All outings listed here are lead by our Executive Director, Geoffrey Smith. Geoffrey is a qualified outing leader with over 25 years of backcountry outings experience. We look forward to getting to know you on these trips, as we get to know our watershed better!

Important! Outing sign-up procedure: Please contact the office at 760.471.9354 or information@escondidocreek.org to learn more about each week’s destination, and to signup (required.) We need to know you are coming in case there is a change in plans or cancellation.

Wednesdays in the Watershed

Mid-week half-day hikes to special places in the watershed. If your work or school (or retirement!) allows, this is a great way to break up your week and avoid the weekend crowds.

9 am – 12 noon
