Night Hike: North of Clark Dry Lake

Join us on a night hike North of Clark Dry Lake! This 5.8 flat loop will take us across a sandy area north of Clark Dry Lake. Clark Dry Lake was once a Navy facility built for WWII with two runways and a bombing range. The area also later had a deep-space astronomy observatory with 720 antennas that stretched two miles across the desert. We’ll be guided by the full moon and surrounded by silhouettes of the Santa Rosa Mountains. This hike will be led by a certified Wilderness First Responder. 

Please bring 2 liters of water, layers, a headlamp, hiking shoes, and snacks.

Hike Leader: Matt Nagy is a San Diego native who had the unique experience of growing up across the world. Before graduating high school, he lived in five different countries, including the USA. His global travels have given him the opportunity to see much of the planet, but without a doubt, San Diego County (especially Anza Borrego) remains his favorite place. In his free time, Matt enjoys long hikes, bike rides, and live music. When he has a few weeks off, he embarks on extended adventures such as river trips, bikepacking, or backpacking. Having spent many months under the stars, Matt is always planning his next adventure. He is excited to explore and appreciate the wonders of Anza Borrego with others, creating unforgettable memories along the way.
