THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
Thank you for participating in the first ever Live Well San Diego Trails Challenge! Over the month of May we had over 300 hikers participating in our county-wide event that included 4 ranger-led hikes and the final Warrior Hike Challenge on May 29th! All together we reached over 5 million total steps, had 35,000 total active minutes, and donated over 550 meals to the Jacobs and Cushman San Diego Food Bank. Great job!

Nature offers incredible healing powers for our mind and body and is a great place to "Be COVID Safe" while getting in some exercise. Thanks for joining the Live Well San Diego Trails Challenge to get active and breathe happy!
Held in partnership with the County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation, Park Rangers hosted a series of ranger-led hikes each Saturday in May which ended on May 29 with the Warrior Hike Challenge!

The Warrior Hike celebrates the physical and mental stamina of active duty and retired military personnel with a hike that tests the mettle of the toughest athletes. Arguably the toughest hike in San Diego, the El Capitan Preserve Summit is roughly 11 miles...and uphill both ways! Celebration stations are set at the 1- and 3-mile turnaround points, with water and healthy snacks.
