Hikes
The Sierra Club San Diego offers a number of day hikes, car camps and backpacks led by trained Chapter Outings Leaders. Our mission is to lead fun, safe hikes and is open to both members and non-members. Our hikes and backpacks are free of charge unless otherwise stated. Bus trips and some car camps do have a shared cost fee.
To get an idea of what outing is right for you, our hikes have a rating system. The first letter E (easy), M (moderate), H (hard), S (strenuous) denotes the difficulty of the outing. The number lets you know how many miles round trip for the hike (or the longest day if it’s a multi-day trip). The final letter A (0-500), B (501-1000), C (1001-2000), D (2001-3000), E (3000+) lets you know the elevation gain or loss.
