Green Valley Falls - Cuyamaca

Details

4.5mi 350ft ascent. Easy water crossing - poles recommended.
A beautiful tranquil and scenic hike in Cuyamaca Rancho state park starting at an elevation around 4,000ft. An easier jaunt along well maintained Fire roads - South Boundary & Falls. We will pass the Green Valley falls (several small water features), and go through the campground.

From San Diego: Take I-8 east to exit 40 (Hwy 79, Descanso/Japatul Vly Rd). Turn left (north) on 79 (and don't miss where Hwy 79 makes a left turn). Soon after passing the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park sign (at ground level) the roadside parking is on the right.

If you would like to carpool from Los Coches Park & Ride, 13702 Camino Canada, El Cajon, please text me. I will leave at 8:45am. There is limited parking at the trailhead so carpooling is recommended.
