The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) issues its fifth Coast to Crest Trail Challenge (C2C) to hikers who will explore some of San Dieguito River Valley’s most iconic spots along the Coast to Crest Trail.
From now to June 30, 2022, participants must complete the five designated hikes listed below, in any order, on their own time.
Everyone who completes the Challenge and submits photos for verification will receive a special certificate, sticker, and a beautiful, new patch designed by Elizabeth Campbell Budilenko (a student at Canyon Crest Academy) – plus bragging rights and at least five cool outdoor adventures. Participants should send selfies to sdrvc@sdrvc.org after they finish all five hikes.

A wide swath of virgin habitat for rare or endangered native California species from songbirds to shrubs has been added to the holdings of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy.
The 117 acres is north of the Del Dios Highway overlooking Lake Hodges near Escondido, and expands the conservancy’s holdings to about 700 acres along the river valley from Del Mar to the top of Volcan Mountain in Julian.
The conservancy and its partners have been working since 1986 to create the 70-mile Coast to Crest Trail along the river, of which 48 miles has been completed so far. The 22 miles from the Rancho Santa Fe area past Lake Hodges to the San Pascual Valley and state Route 78 is the longest single contiguous section of the trail to date.
The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy received a grant for its Next to Nature program, which includes webinars showing folks how to create eco-beneficial areas in their backyards.
