Anyone up for an early run to Mountain Springs stagecoah trail sunday morning? Located 72 miles east of San Diego near Jacumba, just east of Table Mountain, this is one I have yet to explore. I guess a good spot to meet would be the carls jr in Alpine, say 6:00am?

To Get There: Exit Interstate 8 at In-Ko-Pah Road. Follow Old Hwy 80 southwest along the freeway for 0.9 miles. Turn right onto a dirt road near the freeway brake-check station.

Trail Description: Easy/Moderate. Mild rocky climbs and sandy washes. Remote and scenic high desert drive with views of Interstate 8, Yuha Desert and Anza-Borrego.

Why are you heading out so early? I like to head out early but......yow. I know this trail well up to a point. The first right after the long straight away is where it becomes unfamiliar to me. Actually if you go straight, instead of turning right, it takes you to one of the best camping spots in San Diego IMO. I can't say for sure yet but I may be interested. I would take the 4Runner though. The lexus is still a little unhappy after running the Rubicon :(

You ran the Rubicon?! Pics?! :mrgreen:

Well I had wanted to head out early in order to beat the heat somewhat, but it looks like its not gonna be that bad at all, high 80's. If you wanna meet up a little later that'd be just fine.
