National Trails Day at Rancho Carrillo Trails

Join us for a guided hike at Rancho Carrillo Trails in honor of National Trails Day. Each year people all across the country unite on the first Saturday of June in celebration of the American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day. It is a day to create community and connect with the people in your area who share your love of being outside.

Event parking, registration/check-in, and information tables will be available beginning at 8:30 a.m., at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, 6200 Flying Leo Carrillo Lane, Carlsbad, CA 92009. National Trails Day pledge forms will be available for participants to complete at that time. The pledge is to commit to leaving trails and the outdoor environment better than you found them.  

Closed-toed shoes/boots, comfortable hiking apparel, a protective hat/sunscreen and refillable water bottles are recommended for this easy-paced nature hike, led by Parks & Recreation Staff. For further information, please contact Carly Davis, carly.davis@carlsbadca.gov or 442-339-2824.

The approximately 4- mile trail is divided by Melrose Drive into two routes, one on each side of Melrose Drive. The trail to the east of Melrose connects to the San Marcos trail system in the open space corridor at Carlsbad’s eastern border. The trail west of Melrose connects with the trails of Bressi Ranch, The Greens, and Alga Norte Community Park.
