If you’re looking for a hiking adventure a bit off the beaten path, head to Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. Los peñasquitos means “little cliffs” in Spanish, and while the preserve may not be as popular as the previously mentioned park, it’s rooted in history and known for its scenic beauty and ample natural resources. Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve extends for approximately 7 miles and is situated between the Rancho Peñasquitos, Torrey Hills, and Mira Mesa neighborhoods. Though the park is open year-round, the trails may be closed due to flooding or damage. Be sure to call the park rangers for up-to-date information on the trail status.

BALBOA PARK URBAN LOOP TRAILS 15 miles from the hotel

For those visiting San Diego for the first time (and otherwise weren’t planning to visit Balboa Park separately).

This nearly five-mile loop touches on highlights that make the park one of the finest in the U.S., including the 1915 Panama-California Exposition grounds, views from the West Mesa, the architectural beauty of the Cabrillo bridge, and gardens that showcase native trees and botany of San Diego.

Start at the Cypress Grove Picnic area, heading south on the paved trail towards Cabrillo Bridge. You’ll pass gnarled trees, a medicinal plants garden, and forested picnic areas — most with informational placards. Admire Cypress Point and Redwood Circle, which both have expansive views east over the forested Cabrillo canyon towards the California Tower. Its ornate dome is one of the most recognizable landmarks in San Diego. Walk behind the Bowling Green, where enthusiastic players can be seen almost every afternoon. Then, you’ll find yourself on Cabrillo Bridge, a pedestrian and car bridge that connects Uptown to El Prado Complex, the former grounds of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition.
