Intro Hike at Black Mountain Open Space Park Trails

Hi folks, this will be our first official hike of the year where we'll offer a mindfulness activity and/or meditation.

We'll meet at 3:30pm at the Black Mountain Rd Open Space Park Trail neighborhood entrance, *address to be shared in comments* for introduction and meeting the group.

Hike start time is 4:00pm to try and catch the sunset at the top.

Mindfulness activity at the beginning and/or top of the mountain.

Hike should be about 2 miles, and total time with activity should take about 2 hours.

*Always bring ample water and any food/medicine as needed.
*Please bring a flashlight and/or headlamp, we'll have a few spares in case.
*Dress according to your needs/weather depending.
*If bringing your pups, please make sure they are on leash and friendly with others, and that you and your pups are also following trail etiquette.
***Leave no trace***

Lastly, North County’s Black Mountain Open Space Park features a dozen trails for hikers at varying levels of difficulty. We'll choose a medium scale trail from the base to the top, taking our time as desired.

Watch for wildlife activity on these trails, as it’s a favorite habitat for bobcats, numerous California desert bird species and the Pacific kangaroo rat.
