Wildwood Glen Lane
Wildwood Glen Lane, Wildwood Glen Ln, California, CA, USThis is a hike on the abandoned part of Old Highway 80 near Descanso that is now called Wildwood Glen Lane, an easy out-and-back hike of about 3.3 miles round trip. It was inspired by a Youtube video whose title screen is shown above. To watch the video, use this link: youtu.be/V-z9cPme66s
We've done this hike before, most recently on October 21, 2025. For details, including some pictures, see www.meetup.com/sandiegodayhikers/events/311592410
We'll meet at 9:15 AM at the west end of the publicly accessible part of Wildwood Glen Lane (N 32 50.470 W 116 37.859). There is a parking area there. At 9:30 AM we'll step off.
SUGGESTED ROUTE FROM SAN DIEGO: Go east on Interstate 8, and exit at Highway 79. Turn left and go north about 0.85 miles and turn left into Wildwood Glen Lane. Follow it approximately 0.88 miles to the locked gate.
We will hike the Wildwood Glen Lane all the way to the west end, where the road was cut off by construction on Interstate 8. Many years ago, I drove this part in a 4WD truck, before it was closed to vehicle traffic.
Parts of Wildwood Glen Lane are unpaved and overgrown, so hiking shoes are recommended. Use some kind of sun protection (sunscreen, a hat) and take water. No restrooms, but plenty of bushes. Take a camera if you wish.
The weather should be warm and sunny, but not too hot to hike.
Leashed dogs are allowed.

There will be an optional post-hike klatsch of some kind, possibly in Descanso or Alpine.
This will be our last hike of summer 2026. Autumn will arrive officially with the equinox at 5:05 PM PDT.
