Mount Nebo Stair Trails

We'll be walking up and down the famous Mount Nebo Stair Trails next to Downtown La Mesa. The total distance is only about a mile and a half, but there are lots of STEPS, so the pace will be quite slow. There are good views from some places. Leashed dogs are allowed.

The predicted high temperature is 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Dress appropriately.

We've done this hike several times before. For information and pictures, see

Wear good walking and stair-climbing shoes. You may want to take water, because it might be rather warm toward the end of the hike. Some kind of sun protection is recommended.

Some of the stairs run very close to private homes. Please avoid boisterous behavior that might scare the residents.

We'll meet at 11:00 AM at the La Mesa Depot Museum at 4695 Nebo Drive, La Mesa CA 91914. It's near the corner of Nebo Drive and La Mesa Boulevard (N 32 45.861 W 117 1.212). We'll step off at 11:15 AM.

WHY SO LATE? Some old locomotives and things on display will be accessible at any time, but the museum is open from noon to 3:00 PM. Some hikers may want to visit the museum after the hike. For details see www.psrm.org.

Unmetered street parking is available on Nebo Dr. a block or two south of the museum. There is a large municipal parking lot about a block north. The San Diego Trolley (Orange Line) stops at the nearby La Mesa Boulevard Station. MTS bus number 7 also stops nearby on Allison Ave. There are public rest rooms at the La Mesa City Hall about two blocks north.
