Cowels Mountain Winter Solstice Hike
Stacy DeGraffenreid about 4 years ago

I thought this sounded kinda fun and thought others in San Diego might enjoy as well.

Friday, December 21, 6-7:30 AM

Ascend Cowels Mountain in near-darkness to watch the sunrise on the first day of winter at a Kumeyaay solstice observatory, about halfway up the mountain. (Mission Trails Regional Park, San Diego) From I-8 exit north on College Ave. then turn right (east) onto Navajo Rd. Drive 2.5 miles to Golfcrest Dr. Turn left on Golfcrest Dr. and park. Meet near the northeast corner of Golfcrest Dr. and Navajo Rd. (Map 1250, F-4)

This is a free walk that is presented by the San Diego Natural History Museum, Canyoneers. For more information you can contact the Canyoneers.

Just an f.y.i. the hike is marked STRENUOUS
