Jerabek Park North

A 3.7-mile loop through the canyons and open spaces of Scripps Ranch, and along the south shore of Lake Miramar, starting and ending at Jerabek Park. Hilly in many places, but no mountains to climb. A GPX track and map are available at www.efgh.com/SDDH.

Notice that this hike is on MONDAY, one day earlier than usual. (My HOA is inspecting fire alarms on Tuesday, and I have to be there to let the inspectors into my unit.)

Leashed dogs are allowed.

The trails are mostly hard-packed dirt, but with some steep and rocky places. Wear good hiking shoes and layered clothing. Hiking poles will be helpful in a few places. Part of the route is on sidewalks. Some sun protection is recommended, although January is not the sunniest part of the year.

No lunch stop is planned, but you might want to take a snack. Drinking water and rest rooms are available at Jerabek Park and Lake Miramar. You may want to picnic in the park after the hike.
