Los Penasquitos Canyon Trail Guide

This mellow hike on the Los Penasquitos Canyon Trail takes you to the highlight of the park, a waterfall plunging through volcanic rock. Along the way you’ll encounter a forest of giant California live oaks and sycamores, the grave of European royalty, and a year-round stream that many endangered species call home. Nestled in a valley insulated from surrounding development, Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve is not only one of the most bio-diverse areas in SoCal, but it’s also one of the largest urban parks in the USA.

The Google Earth view really adds a nice dimension for people doing the hike the first time. Doing it tomorrow. Thank you.

I have hiked down in Los Penasquitos Canyon 4 to 5 times so far. I discovered it about 5 years ago. I have done your hike here twice almost exactly. There are too many good points about this place to mention here. I plan on doing this canyon several more times in my life and the muncipalities down in San Diego area have done a wonderful job of keeping and developing green zones throughout their areas and citizens do and should support these kind of efforts. Thank you Cris for doing this one, great job and I hope others enjoy it as I have and will have in the future!

That's great to hear, and I agree, it's a real treasure. I've done it about a dozen times over the years and really enjoy it every time. I always see lots of raptors and wildlife. Really a great spot. 👍

Nice video. This was my go-to trail run when I was stationed at Miramar in the late 90s. Thanks for bringing back good memories. Miramar is a Marine Corps Air Station btw.

There’s plenty of free parking around the canyon. The only people who need to pay are the people who bring their horses.
