This is a **five-mile loop** along the streets of northern La Mesa, starting and ending at **Jackson Park**. It is described on the La Mesa website as "The Stride" Intermediate Route. Information and maps are available at [www.cityoflamesa.us/942/City-Walks-Urban-Trails](https://www.cityoflamesa.us/942/City-Walks-Urban-Trails)

Tuesday is expected to be a cool day, with a chance of rain. This hike is entirely on pavement, so we can hike even if there is a little rain. We've done that before. However, **the hike may be cancelled** if there is a high probability of significant rain. Check this page the night before the hike.

This is a popular hike. We've done it several times before, most recently on March 4, 2025. For details see [www.meetup.com/sandiegodayhikers/events/306470358](https://www.meetup.com/sandiegodayhikers/events/306470358/).

The hike has only one significant hill, about one block long. There is an optional side trip down a stairway and back for those who need some kind of workout.

This hike is marked by green disks on the curbs along the way. Some of the disks are hard to find and badly weathered. It is not feasible to follow the route by disks alone. We'll use a map.

We'll **meet** at **9:30 AM** at **Jackson Park**, 5890 Jackson Dr., La Mesa CA 91942 (N 32 47.132 W 117 1.208), and we'll **step off** at **9:45 AM**. The park has rest rooms and off-street parking. Overflow parking is available on the street.

SUGGESTED ROUTE FROM SAN DIEGO: Go **east** on **I-8** and exit at **exit 13B** (*Jackson Drive, Grossmont Blvd*). Go **north** on **Jackson Dr.** 1.15 miles and turn **left** into **Jackson Park**.

Wear good walking shoes. Hiking shoes are not necessary because the hike is entirely on pavement. Take a camera if you wish. No stops are planned, but you might want to take a snack. Some sun protection is recommended (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc.).

Leashed dogs are allowed.
