The building is considered on school property, as is the surrounding area (parking lot, etc.) The WUSD has notified us that hosting hikers on-site during school hours is not in compliance with San Diego County of Education's Joint Power Authority and the California State and Education Code. We cannot use the restrooms at that location. If you need to restroom stop along the way, you can stop at Don's Market at 30250 Hwy 78 in Santa Ysabel.
