Directions to the trail:
From I-15 take the Valley Parkway exit in Escondido. Head south one block to Auto Parkway and turn right. Follow Auto Parkway for about a half mile to Howard Ave. Then turn right onto Harmony Grove Rd. Follow Harmony Grove for about 3 miles until you see Elfin Forest on your left.
