Class Description
This Spring let’s celebrate the equinox in the unique beauty of San Diego Mission Trails Regional Park. A guide will lead us along an easy trail that will take us through a small oak woodland with majestic coast live oaks and along a stream where a replica of a Kumeyaay home is found. Thanks to this winter’s extensive rainfall, the trails will be alive with spring growth. All our senses will be awakened as birdsong and other sounds of nature accompany us and we breathe in fresh sage-scented air; if we’re lucky, we’ll spot some late-blooming wildflowers along the way. Following our brief walk, we’ll gather at picnic tables and write to prompts, inspired by nature. Bring your journals or notebooks. Wear comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes; a sun hat. Bring water. Snacks will be provided.
Meeting location and additional details will be provided upon registration.
The Spring Equinox Retreat is one in a series of Field Trips we writers will be taking in the coming months. Watch your email for more to come.

Mission Trails Regional Park
Mission Trails Regional Park encompasses nearly 5,800 acres of both natural and developed recreational acres. Its rugged hills, valleys and open areas represent a San Diego prior to the landing of Cabrillo in San Diego Bay in 1542. Centrally located and only eight miles northeast of downtown San Diego, Mission Trails Regional Park provides a quick, natural escape from the urban hustle and bustle. Mission Trails Regional Park has been called the third Jewel in the City of San Diego Park System. Along with Balboa Park and Mission Bay, it provides San Diego residents and visitors a way to explore the cultural, historical, and recreational aspects of San Diego. Started in 1974, Mission Trails Regional Park has become one of the largest urban parks in the United States. Originally used by the Kumeyaay, the park is the site of the Old Mission Dam, built to store water for the Mission San Diego de Alcala. With over 40 miles of trails, boating on Lake Murray, camping at Kumeyaay Lake, numerous informative hikes, and a state-of-the-art Visitor & Interpretive Center, Mission Trails Regional Park has something to offer everyone. Visitors Center Hours: Daily 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Closed: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day The Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center boasts a 94 seat theater.
