Hi everyone,

I am sending this to the whole membership because my list of interested people is way out of date. If your not interested please just ignore this email.

Sorry that it took a while to setup another hike but things went a little sideways in my life. Well that’s done so, how about an interesting easy hike with the possibility of some slot canyon work if you are interested.

San Elijo Lagoon has a nice easy walk on the Solana Beach side, I like to use the trailhead at the end of N. Rios Ave because it has the most parking. So I am thinking May 6^th at 10:45am, so as to not have to deal with too much traffic down the 56. This is a “go as far as you want hike”, so don’t worry if you need to turn around early the full hike around the lagoon is rather long at about 6 miles. For the N. Rios trailhead the slot canyon is only about 0.3 miles from the trailhead and adds another ~0.1 miles of winding up the hillside through a slot that is wide enough for 1 person with some areas big enough to pass.  Also there is a metal ladder at the top of the slot canyon, it’s not that long but it is a bit steep.

As for the views if you like bird watching or nice scenery bring your binoculars and / or cameras

I appreciate it if people tell me if they will be going, but just showing up works too. Just a warning I will wait until the stated time before heading out. I will have my phone so just call to see where we are.
