Canicross Trailblazers at Del Dios Highlands Preserve Trail
Details
Join the Mighty Yotam, our Canicross Trailblazer Organizer, for this 10.5 Loop Trail. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, with rocky gravel path and steep incline (remember what goes up must come down). Wear your best trailrunning hugger's shoes! The rewards besides the great workout are the stunning views at the top of the loop!
Bring water for you and your Doggo!
Meet at the dirt parking lot at the corner of Date & Orange Lane across from the Del Dios Highlands Country Preserve road entrance. Contact Yotam directly if you need help locating.
