On April 26, 2023 we set off from San Diego, California on a walking journey to the Alta California Spanish Missions. This video provides a visual summary of our 800-mile California Missions Trail trek. During 57 hiking stages we walked from San Diego to Sonoma, visiting all 21 missions in the process.
Construction of the mission network, beginning with San Diego in the south and ending in Sonoma in the north, took place between 1769 and 1823. Over ninety percent of the trail was along roads, and we traversed through the urban areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco. The video also shows what it was like to walk through California’s diverse natural beauty while learning more about the cultural significance of the mission period in the state’s history.
Lovely trip. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much, John.
