Mission Trails Regional Park

One of my favorite places to hike, there are so many different trails and options. Fun, hard hikes, and mellow nature walks.

I hiked from the park entrance to the peaks of two mountains. It took about three hours. The nature was diverse and beautiful. The endless vistas were truly soul-soothing. The trail varied: at times rocky, sometimes crossed by streams, and occasionally a steep mountain path. So, make sure to wear hiking boots. With a racing heart, I stood at a steep cliff, taking in the incredible beauty. You'll occasionally meet other hikers on the route, so if something happens, there will be help. I hiked in the heat, so make sure to bring plenty of water.

we were in need of a substantial hike. We headed out of central San Diego to a place called Mission Trails Regional Park. The drive here was only just over 15 minutes. We parked near the visitors centre and pretty much followed the Oak Canyon to Grasslands Trail found on AllTrails. On the day we visited it was extremely quiet and we only saw a handful of others out and about. It was a really pleasant place to visit.

I absolutely enjoy this trail. There are numerous smaller trails to explore, offering a unique experience each visit. This time of year is especially beautiful with many flowers in bloom, and the weather is pleasantly mild.

Great views and hikes. Wonderful visitor center. Something for everyone!
