HIDDEN SAN DIEGO

The Santa Ysabel Preserve is a combined 4,600 acre sanctuary which is presently divided into two preserves: East and West. There are many trails you can take on the Santa Ysabel East Preserve making this a place you can return to time and time again and continue having new adventures!

There are multiple trailheads you can take to enter the preserve but we entered from the Santa Ysabel Nature Center. Be mindful that this parking lot has a gate with varying hours so do your homework ahead of time so you don’t get locked in!

We did this hike in December so the weather was mild and greenery was beginning to sprout up. You will be sharing the trail with cows. Please admire them from a distance, never try to spook them, and let them be in peace.
