Summer Trail Challenge

Fallbrook Land Conservancy is inviting residents and visitors alike to lace up their hiking boots and discover the beauty of Fallbrook's protected open spaces through the new Trail Challenge, a self-paced hiking adventure designed to encourage healthy lifestyles, connect people with nature, and support local land conservation.

Participants will explore a collection of FLC preserves while completing designated hikes and earning commemorative stickers.

Whether you're an experienced hiker, a family looking for weekend adventures, or someone just beginning your outdoor journey, the Trail Challenge offers an opportunity to experience some of Fallbrook's most scenic landscapes while making a positive impact on conservation efforts.

Get the kids outside and explore our preserves.
