Here are forty of the best hikes in the San Diego area, nearly all of them within an hour’s drive of the city. From forests and scenic vistas to beaches and quiet lagoons, this guide opens the door to a whole host of county, state, and city parks, all of them accessible year-round. Whether you’re in the mood for an easy nature walk or a day-long hike, this guide offers plenty to choose from. Each hike features full-color photos; a route description; thorough directions to the trailhead (GPS coordinates included); a detailed, full-color trail map; and at-a-glance information on distance, difficulty level, hiking time, canine compatibility, and fees and permits. There is also a Trail Finder that categorizes each hike (e.g., for attractions such as beaches, views, and whale-watching, and for hikes suitable for families with kids); and information about local lore, points of interest, and the area’s array of wildlife.
