Rancho Santa Fe group trail hikes begin May 8

By Karen Billing

Community trail hikes launched this week in Rancho Santa Fe with a goal to cover every part of the 50-mile Covenant trail system by the end of the summer. RSF Association Manager Pete Smith will lead the weekly hikes beginning at 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month.

The walking group will meet before 4 p.m. in the upper parking lot of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. A special room will be set aside at the club for post-hike cool downs with snacks and drink specials. Participants are encouraged not to bring dogs.
