Two+ hour / four mile hike in Mission Trails (North Fortuna Peak Loop)
We gather at 8:30 AM at the Catalina entrance.
Go east on Clairemont Mesa Blvd
Make a left turn on Villa Vallarta.
Go two blocks, and make a right turn on to Collegio Drive
Go up the hill to a “T”.
Turn left onto Alejo Street, which curves around to the right.
At the third left, turn left onto Belardo Drive.
Go one block, & turn right on to Camino Playa Catalina.
The road eventually curves around to the left, and a canyon appears off to the right, with no houses on that side.
Keep climbing; park on the right near where the road ends.
Wearing long pants is desirable.
Bringing a hiking stick (or two) is recommended.
