Tecolote Canyon Natural Park Trails

5180 Tecolote Road (off Interstate 5, Sea World exit) San Diego, California 92110

Named after the owl that lives in this canyon, Tecolote offers over 6 and a half miles of walking trails.

Pretty cacti

The trails branch off in numerous different directions. Depending on where you live, I’d recommend consulting the map to figure out the best entrance point for you.

The Tecolote Road entrance has the Nature Center, restrooms and a parking area.

The trails are peaceful, quiet and filled with beautiful trees and plant life. It’s a nice change for me compared to walking around my noisy traffic/construction filled neighborhood. My dog likes it too as we usually encounter at least a few dogs along the way.

Bring your own water and or snacks if you plan to make a day of it. The Nature Center does not offer any refreshments.

  1. That’s a cool trail you found for walks.

  2. It’s growing on me more each time I walk it.
