Urban Riviera - Family and Friends

No hike if raining.  Bring plenty of water.

This is a Friday 8:30am meetup – no need to register.

Urban Riviera Hike – 8:30am.   We walk a short way east on Alameda Padre Sierra (APS) to Arbolado Road, to Roble Road, and to Loma Media Road.  We then traverse up to Las Alturas Road and travel on Las Alturas to the top of the Riviera.  We walk the top of the Riviera on Mission Ridge Road for a short distance and go on Hillcrest Road to Franceschi Road. Here we pass across Franceschi Park to Mission Ridge Road again.  We then cut through “The Encanto Resort” to El Encanto Road and move quickly onto Lasuen Road which feeds back to the parking area on Dover Road.

Here is a link to the hike path.

The hike is about 4.5 miles and goes up and down throughout the Riviera with magnificent views of homes, islands, ocean, and mountains.  The elevation change is perhaps 700-800 feet.
