Hiking / Walking Trails
San Elijo Lagoon - "Hiking" through this North County ecological reserve is beautiful, with tons of plants and birds and several winding paths to follow. Mount Woodson - Famous for its Insta-worthy “Potato Chip Rock” at the end. The climb is steep and has sweeping views on the way up. Cowles Mountain - This hike, to the highest point within SD's city limits, is easy to access and a local favorite, especially among hiking newbies. This hike can get crowded and can get very hot so bring plenty of water Torrey Pines Nature Reserve - This coastal hike is loved! It starts on North Torrey Pines Road in La Jolla and follows a few miles of winding trails. It has beautiful ocean views and cliffs, and the chance to hike down to the beach and walk through the sand if the tide is right. Because it’s so picturesque, it’s naturally crowded (and parking is limited). These are just a few but there are many more and some additional challenging ones, if you would like that.
Coronado Island

Walk down Orange Avenue, Coronado's main artery, which is lined with shops, restaurants, galleries and the Coronado Museum of History & Art.
