Local Context
The San Dieguito River Park Trails page checked on May 24, 2026 describes the Coast to Crest Trail as the backbone multi-use trail from the ocean at Del Mar to the San Dieguito River's source on Volcan Mountain near Julian.
The same trails page says 49 miles of the planned 71 miles of the Coast to Crest Trail are completed, and that more than 20 miles of auxiliary trails within the River Park are open. Treat those as attributed statements from the retrieved page, not as current trip-planning, closure, safety, rule, or route guidance.
