The Six-Pack of Peaks Tour de San Diego is coming in two weeks!

We will be hitting up Hot Springs Mountain, Cuyamaca Peak, El Cajon Mountain, and Mount Woodson... with side trips to Julian for pie (duh) and Burger Bench in Escondido for, um, burgers and brews. We hope to even squeeze in some tacos along the way with @thetacoslayers.

And we are having a socially distanced group Wednesday night group hike on the Roller Coaster Ridge Trail in San Clemente, like we used to do every week.

Check the SocialHiker website for dates and details later this week, and if you see us on the trail, at the trailhead or a nearby watering hole, hit us up for some swag!

SoCal Six-Pack of Peaks Challenger Steve does Volcan Mountain and found it a great trail run. And it's OPEN, which is nice since most of the other peaks are in National Forests which are closed.⠀

Mt Baldy - one of the kids favorite hike. This is their 15th time doing this hike. 9.2 miles and 3,944 elevation gain.... took them 3.5 hours to get to the summit (Baldy Bowl Trail: Manker flat - Ski Hut - Summit).

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” -John Muir

Trails are reopening all over the country, and people are itching to get on them. We used to call it "spring fever" but the effects this year are magnified by the coronavirus.
We all want to get out. I encourage you to do so. I've been out, and I have plans to get out even this weekend.⠀
⠀
But... Let's recreate responsibly.⠀
⠀
This is not about being in fear, or impinging on "freedom". It's about being considerate for others, particularly those who have family who may be at-risk.⠀
⠀
Here are six ways that you can #RecreateResponsibly this weekend, and throughout the days, weeks and months ahead. And follow the link in our bio for even more. ⠀
⠀
How are YOU #RecreatingResponsibly? Let us know! ⠀

Congratulations to our ambassador @tonyramosjr for his successful summit of Orizaba! He wrote down this goal on a card at our Finishers Party last year, and created an action plan to make it happen. He followed that plan, and made it to the summit! Check his IG feed for more pics and details on this amazing mountain.

Mount San Jacinto is one of our favorite peaks in the challenge. And we think @nekkeddave captured the essence quite well, don’t you think?
