Directions:

We will meet at the Mile 19 Pullout, also known as the Meadows Information Kiosk. Driving east on I-8, and after Pine Valley, look for signs indicating the Sunrise Highway Exit and Laguna Mountain Recreation Area.  Go north on Sunrise Hwy. (S-1) approx. 5.3 miles to the Mile 19 Marker and Meadows Information Kiosk. There is street parking along Sunrise Highway, but an Adventure Pass is required and must be purchased ahead of time. However, there is free parking .2 miles before the pullout along Sunrise Highway.

There is a port-a-potty in the parking area.

The Forest Service Adventure Pass ($5) is available locally in San Diego County at major sporting goods stores and at other areas in the Lagunas. A National Park Pass is valid as well.

Expect warm weather.
