Come join us for a beautiful evening stroll up the Santa Margarita River trail. We will enjoy the sound of running water during the adventure and find a spot to rest beside the river for snacks and conversation.  

• Who’s Invited: CalCPA members, non-members, family, and friends.
• Challenge Level: 5.2 mile out and back which takes about 2.5 hours to complete. This is an easy to moderate hike due to the distance and lack of incline. The trail is well marked and maintained.  
• Dogs: Dogs are welcome to join us on this trail. 
• Parking: Santa Margarita Tailhead Parking lot - 4251 River Edge Road Fallbrook, CA 92028 
• Meeting Spot: We will be meeting in the parking lot. Look for the big white CalCPA Sign.

What to Bring

• Plenty of water
• Comfortable hiking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing
• Light layers (cool morning temperatures, warmer later in the day)
• Swimsuit optional for water holes/natural slides
• Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and other sun protection

Please arrive early so the group can stretch and start together. If you arrive late, feel free to catch up with the group on the trail.
