The campsites are awesome, very large and most have wonderful views. Spend the day fishing, or hiking. Have a BBQ or a party. Sometimes they have evening hikes, I saw a tarantula and a very large deer, plenty of rattlesnakes and coyotes...and watch out for ticks. Interesting history here.

Love Boulder Loop. For people in shape, and not suggested for a novice, or anyone with health issues. Can be a bit difficult at times. The view at the top is magnificent. Be prepared to take water and there are no restrooms once you start uphill. Prefer hiking trails not frequented by the masses, but you can go up to... More

IF you're into walking under a scorching sun, breathing in dust while your skin burns this is the place to go. If you're lucky, you'll step on a rattlesnake.

My dogs and i love this place it is so nice to walk in nature, one of those places to go and take a relaxing walk, you feel out of the city, I love the peace in this place.

The Ramona lilac is in blossom on the hills at this time of the year, giving a lavender-blue tinge everywhere. There is a box at the trail entrance with maps, but the suggested price is $2, so we didn't take one.... More

Many miles of trails most with little elevation gain. You can get a climb if you do the trail that takes you up to Tom's Peak. Cool Ranch House and Historic area. Easy to get to off of the 15 freeway. A little hot to hike during the months of June-September but the rest of the year it's a real... More

Adjacent to Dixon Lake, Daley Ranch is a 3,000+ acre chunk of SoCal wilderness right in the middle of Escondido. Hike/Bike/Horse trails run all throughout the park with differing degrees of difficulty. (it also has a ton of Geocaches if your into that sort of thing). There is an old Ranch house on the property though I've never made it... More
