San Elijo Lagoon Ranger-guided Hike and No-host Social Hour
The Nature Center is a perfect starting point for experiencing the beautiful San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. Museum-quality interactive exhibits interpret the history and development of the ecological reserve, as well as the plants and animals that thrive on site.
One of San Diego’s largest wetlands, this 979-acre reserve is primarily a shallow-water estuary, formed where the Escondido and La Orilla Creeks meet the Pacific Ocean. After the ranger-guided hike, you are welcome to explore a sample of the 7 miles of easy-to-moderate trails and the quarter-mile Annie’s Canyon Trail. (You can easily opt out of the strenuous slot canyon option.) Trails connect wetland habitats of coastal strand, salt marsh, freshwater/brackish marsh, riparian scrub, coastal sage scrub, and mixed chaparral.
We plan to enjoy post-hike company, conversation, food, and drink at Ki’s Restaurant (2591 S. Coast Highway 101, Cardiff), just slightly over a mile away. No-host. Happy hour prices for both food and drink.
