HIKE PAMO VALLEY

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 2020 @ 9:30AM

 

Dave Dohren has suggested this hike and has graciously agreed to lead it.

Pamo Valley is a beautiful, peaceful little valley that seems very isolated in spite of its closeness to nearby Ramona. Though you are within a few miles of town, you can no longer hear the sounds of the city.  Most of the plants in the grasslands are native and non-native grasses, with an occasional Coast Live oak providing shade. You will see clumps of California buckwheat, California fuchsia, and other natives alongside the trail. It is a portion of the Coast to Crest Trail.  Several gatherings of granite boulders were dotted with morteros. The old acorn grinding holes revealed this area to be a major campsite for the Northern Diegueno Indians who lived here for hundreds of years before the homesteaders.
