"The rustic and wild Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve is vast, with historical ties to the region's Native American inhabitants dating back as far as 7,000 years—a fact that flies under the radar of many tourists. Because it's primarily visited by locals, it’s not as congested as other trails experience. Come for dense foliage and tranquil wildlife; but chase ocean views and dramatic sunsets elsewhere. The main trail runs alongside a creek, which feeds a dense forest ultimately leading to a small waterfall." - Archana Ram
