Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego, the largest city-owned park in California, features over 65 miles of trails spread across more than 8,000 acres. The park is situated eight miles northeast of downtown and is less recognized compared to Balboa Park. Geologically diverse, it offers visitors scenic views of granite cliffs and valleys. The area has a rich history, home to the Kumeyaay people and later used by the Army during WWI. Growing up near Cowles Mountain, the park played a significant role in the author's adolescence, blending nature exploration with youthful adventure.
Mission Trails Regional Park is the largest city-owned park in California, featuring a vast network of trails and rich history that dates back thousands of years.
The park provides a unique outdoor experience, contrasting its more popular counterpart, Balboa Park, thanks to its sprawling 8,000 acres of rugged terrain.
Growing up near Cowles Mountain, the park was a significant part of my youth, merging adventure with a touch of rebellion amongst friends.
With trails that span 65 miles, Mission Trails offers opportunities for hiking, climbing, and immersing oneself in the natural beauty of San Diego's landscape.
