San Dieguito Lagoon

3.5 miles, no ascent, no hazards. Possibility of an optional additional 2 miles, depending on the temperature.

This is hike number 5 in Jerry Schad's book 50 Best Short Hikes San Diego, an easy out-and-back hike along the north side of San Dieguito Lagoon. We'll follow the Lagoon Trail, which is part of the Coast to Crest Trail. It passes under I-5. We'll continue on the Riverpath to the remains of the Old Grand Avenue Bridge. Hopefully see some rayfish (600 species in the world). Last here Tuesday, 7/23. https://www.meetup.com/sandiegodayhikers/events/302346712
