Organiser's Description

_Hike with Community Recreation_

_This hike will be an outing to remember. We will start bright and early in the beautiful surrounding city of Poway._

_We will meet at the Blue Sky Reserve Trailhead and make our way to the Ramona Dam. There are several off-shoots to different trails that branch off from our main path but we will stay the easy course. As a group we will make it to the foot of the dam as our mid point before hiking back. Those who wish to also trek further and explore the dam more fully, are welcome to do so. As a group we will make sure to stay the easy course as we want to make sure and respect your time. _

1 - SCENIC BEAUTY: The trail provides stunning views of the coastline and the Pacific Ocean. The picturesque scenery can have a calming and uplifting effect, enhancing your overall well-being.
2 - FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINE: Being outdoors exposes you to fresh air and natural sunlight. This can boost your mood, increase vitamin D levels, and contribute to better mental health.
3 - PHYSICAL EXERCISE: Even a light hike involves physical activity, contributing to cardiovascular health, improved circulation, and enhanced fitness. Walking on uneven terrain also engages various muscles, promoting flexibility and balance.
4 - STRESS REDUCTION: The combination of nature, the sound of the waves, and the rhythm of walking can help reduce stress levels. Time spent in natural surroundings has been linked to lower cortisol levels and a sense of calm.
5 - CONNECTION WITH NATURE: Walking along the beach and through coastal trails allows you to connect with nature. This connection has been associated with improved focus, increased creativity, and a sense of mindfulness.
6 - SOCIAL INTERACTION: The La Jolla Trail is often frequented by locals and visitors alike. Engaging in a light hike provides an opportunity for social interaction, whether it's with friends, family, or fellow hikers. Socializing can positively impact mental health and overall happiness.
7 - RELAXATION AND REFLECTION: The peaceful surroundings of the beach and trail offer an ideal setting for relaxation and self-reflection. Whether you're walking alone or with others, it can be a time to clear your mind and gain perspective.
8 - LOW IMPACT: The La Jolla Trail is known for being relatively easy and suitable for all fitness levels. This makes it accessible to a wide range of people, including those looking for a low-impact exercise option.
9 - OPPORTUNITY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: The scenic beauty of the trail, the ocean, and the surrounding landscape provides excellent opportunities for photography. Capturing these moments can add a creative and enjoyable aspect to your walk.
10 - IMPROVED SLEEP: Regular physical activity and exposure to natural light during the day can contribute to better sleep quality at night. A peaceful walk by the beach can be a great way to wind down in the evening.

In summary, a light hike or walk through urban settings offers not only physical exercise but also mental and emotional benefits, making it a holistic and enjoyable activity.
