Bernardo Mountain Summit Trail
Bernardo Mountain is located on the Coast to Crest Trail in San Dieguito River Park.
The 7.15-mile out-and-back trail to the 1060 ft. summit starts on the east side of I-15. It's a relatively easy hike all the way to the top. It picks up a little once you make it to the Summit Trail junction, where you will begin to gain some elevation. But even this part of the trek isn't all that difficult i...

When it comes to Rancho Bernardo, most people overlook this "mountain" because of its size...

Starting at the trail head where you park your car, head south along the Green Valley Truck Trail. After less than a mile, you will notice the city and noise start to fade behind you, and a beautiful sight of towering oaks, willows, and sycamores appear as you walk along the Creekside Trail. You will see a brown sign signaling you to veer left for this trail. Enjoy the feeling of entering a com...
Relax at Lake Poway
It costs $5 to enter the park and they are open 6am to sunset everyday. There is plenty of parking and this park is huge! This place has so many outdoor recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, running, archery, feeding ducks, or just having a picnic.
With so many possibilities in this one area, why not do them all in one day? My typical day here involves a picnic overlooking the lake, ...
