RUNS
|
.: More Mesa Loop :. A convenient place to park and begin this run is in the parking lot at San Marcos High School [view map]. Park in the lot that runs along Hollister, just south of Turnpike. To begin, exit the lot and take a left over to the first stoplight which will be Puente Drive. Fortunately, this stoplight should be your only stopping point during this approximately 6 mile loop. Cross Hollister and continue to run on Puente for about a half mile. Puente will turn into Vieja Drive, and will run slightly uphill. Take a left onto Mockingbird Lane which will begin with another short hill. Mockingbird Lane will dead end at an opening into More Mesa. Hop onto the trail and take this all the way towards the ocean. Once you reach the cliffs you can either stop for a second to admire the panoramic ocean views, or you can take a right and keep on running. Once you have turned right, stay along the trails that run parallel to the ocean until you naturally turn right once again and are parallel to houses. Stay on this trail until it dumps you out onto Patterson Avenue. Take a right on Patterson and follow it until you can take a right onto the bike path. At this point you can run on the bike path or take the dirt path that’s on the right. Follow the bike path all the way back to Puente Drive, and retrace your steps back to the high school. This approximately 6 mile loop should take you anywhere from 40–75 minutes, ENJOY!! |
