Park by the hang glider building.

Right where you start theres a decent little pit area wher eyou can warm up your rigs/tires/driving skills.

Then you can continue taking that pit down through the canyon for some scenic fun crawling or skip it and take the easy way to the next area.

Next area is where the two trails meet. If you took the scenic route, you'll end up in the area circled. If you took the easy route, you'll have to drop into the pit at some point over there. Have fun here.

Then when youre done there, get out of the canyon/pit (its doable...but challenging!) and have some go fast fun through this area as it snakes to where the lifegaurd is.

This leads you to some fun climbs and the blue area has a ton of ruts/canyons to explore. Take you time here =)

When you're "done" there head up towards the top.



Here you can do two things. Drop down to stairs and goto the green circled area OR keep folloing the red trail.



Keep following the trail until you get to this section and you can spend a good amount of time here.



Now as a reminder this is MY usual route/trail that I run when Im there or with Myth619 or whoever. I haven't gone all the way down the stairs to blacks beach (yes its a nude beach) but maybe those who have can chime in about their crawl spots down there.

Enjoy MONGO having fun at Glider Port

I have not experience any issues with anyone. Terrain wise, its mainly dirt, but I have only done a small area

[zidaro]

looks like its all on the trail and lookouts for beach, not the glider area.
surprised their is not a bunch of goods on the N. end of the bluff parking lot.
def. going to hit this up next week (tues-fri.), looks very fun. used to lots of granite and pumice up here in the Sierras

Calistoga rocks - are you talking about the dead end street(walk a 1/4 mile and crawl? If so we tried to have a comp there and the Rangers asked us to leave I think it was because there was like 20 guys out there, but if your by yourself or with a friend I think it's doable…

Ryan,

Several of us meet during the week after work around 5 or 6 and run in Santee. Keep an eye out here for the announcements. I will send you PM messages too when we go next. I will post some pics of our last run out there when I resize them to fit on this site later today.

Is GP and la jolla the same location, or are these two different spots?

[CrawlSD]

GP aka glider port, or the real name Torrey Pines Glider Port is in La Jolla.

Yeah my son and I should be there around 10. Maybe the gf and our boxer might tag along to give Duke some company.

Sweet pics!

[CrawlSD]

They lost a lot of resolution when I downsized them to fit the site file size limit.

What do you think of the location Liv3mind?

[Shinjari]

Nice pics from SUmmit ave, guess I gotta check that spot out sometime. Looks like it'd be a fun dusk/night run

[CrawlSD]

Post #4896 back on page #245 of this thread has the dusk/night pics.
