Hiking
Just as the name suggests, this is the southerly of two main trails in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. Expect to share it with mountain bikers and runners.
This incredibly biodiverse preserve is home to hundreds of species, many of them rare or endangered. Watch for everything from mule deer and bobcats to Pacific tree frogs and poison oak.
