Hiking is one of the best ways to witness the natural splendor of San Diego, with hiking trails that wind along oceanside cliffs, through mountain backcountry, and more. The team at Bluewater Vacation Homes wants to make sure you have an unforgettable getaway, so we have curated a list of can’t-miss hikes in San Diego just for you! Get on your hiking boots and enjoy the best hiking trails San Diego has to offer.
With more than 40 miles of trails near Kumeyaay Lake and Lake Murray, Mission Trails Regional Park offers great San Diego trails for people of all skill levels. This popular park has rolling hills and rugged valleys interspersed with open peaks and extraordinary views. One of the most popular trails, Oak Canyon Trail, features a sycamore and oak-lined ravine winding north from the Old Mission Dam.
Potato Chip Rock can be held responsible for bringing hordes of hikers to Mount Woodson just to get a picture on the sliver of granite rock hovering over San Diego. Getting there can be a bit strenuous but the unique rock and picturesque views waiting for you at the top make it all worth it. We recommend you start early in the day and bring lots of water and snacks.
If you have time for only one hike in San Diego, we recommend it be Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Prepare to be wowed by the panoramic ocean views from paths that wind along sandstone cliffs high above the beach. There are five trails to choose from, ranging from easy to more challenging. Whatever trail you choose, you will not be disappointed!
Bluewater Vacation Homes feature a wide selection of premium rentals, perfect for any taste or budget. After you explore one of the lovely San Diego hiking trails during the day, come back and rest your head in one of our luxury rentals.
