Celebrate National Trails Day with a Group Hike at Hosp Grove

The City of Carlsbad will celebrate National Trails Day with a group hike on Saturday, June 4, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Hosp Grove. Two hikes, one shorter and one longer, will be led by speakers who will point out local habitat and wildlife along the way.

National Trails Day is the country’s largest celebration of trails. It began in the late 1980s and is organized by the American Hiking Society.

Hosp Grove trails are in one of the oldest areas of Carlsbad and were the first city trails built and maintained by volunteers.
The scenic unpaved trails pass through Eucalyptus groves and up and down steep slopes for approximately three miles.
On the west side of the grove, the trails offer a great view of the adjacent Buena Vista Lagoon.

Learn more about the group hike, including a full schedule of the day, on the city’s website.
