One would not believe such a trail exists amidst the busy streets of San Diego surrounded by the highways. Although I had heard about it for a while now, I never explored it until recently. It is a beautifully laid out trail with so many different species of trees. You encounter a quiet little creek and hear it flowing at different places.
This trail leads to a sign board showing waterfall. I could not see the water falling from a height to qualify it as one. The water meanders in between big boulders, which might have appeared as a waterfall at some point. Nevertheless, a perfect picnic spot.
The elevation gain is almost nil and it is a flat terrain. It is great for biking and running as well. I am talking about the ranch house trail. It is fairly around 6 miles roundtrip.
The crossing seen in the below picture looks like one right out of a fairy tale. The bridges and the horse-riders make for a movie scene.
This might not be the best hike, but it certainly is a breather compared to the exposed fire trails in San Diego. And the fact that it is right where I live leaves me with no excuses to explore this area more :)
