Cabrillo Canyon

"I had an incredible visit to Carrillo Canyon. The rugged beauty of the landscape, with its towering cliffs and meandering river, left me in awe. We hiked along the scenic trails, explored the rich flora and fauna, and even had a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters. It was a day filled with adventure and a deep connection to nature that I won't soon forget."

"There are multiple ways into and out of this hidden urban hideaway. With just a few steps you can get away from city life and enjoy a peaceful 1 mile walk through tall trees and thick undergrowth. We came across a coyote so make sure your dog is on a leash."

"Was really quiet, easy to travel paths but there’s trash here and there that degrades the view a bit."

"Beautiful place except for the noise from the highway, otherwise very picturesque and we'll worth the visit, so much so I will continue to visit."

"This is one of my go to trail runs. I start near one of the canyon entrances in the neighborhood of Hillcrest. I either take the stairway up to the grassy parks on the edge of Balboa Park or run the trial to the Juniper Stairs. It's always beautiful."
