The following table lists all the hikes I know about near Fallbrook that are more distant than 90 minutes travel time from my house, sorted by travel time from Fallbrook. If you know of hikes that I have missed, please email me.
Check Jerry Schad's Roam-O-Rama for updated information about any hike of interest. Schad's weekly hike column has been archived there since 1998, and the number of hikes is growing by 51 every year. The search engine on that page makes it easy to find out if any information is available there.
