WATERMAN’S BACKBONE VIA A CAR SHUTTLE

This event will allow us to trek along Waterman Mountain’s ridgeline as we start our adventure at Cloudburst Summit (PCT junction) and head up a very steep “use trail” to Waterman Mountain. From there it will be mostly downhill as we follow Waterman’s trail less backbone to Three Points (another PCT junction). Along the way we should be seeing lots of wild flowers along with spectacular views as well as lots of rock outcroppings to check out.

EARLIER MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: 6:30am at the Woodland Hills Meetup location. Those who want to carpool from Woodland Hills, can meet me at the corner of Leonora and Ponce Avenue. Ponce is the first street east of Fallbrook. We can park on Ponce which is not in front of any houses.
IF MEETING HERE, LET ME KNOW, OTHERWISE I WON’T BE STOPPING THERE.
