Dictionary Hill Open Space Preserve

Cappie’s Scoop: This might be a short hike and there are some hills to climb but once we got to the top, we had some really good views of the area! I saw LOTS of water. The Sweetwater Reservoir to the south, the Silver Strand, Point Loma, Coronado Bridge and Coronado Islands off the coast of Mexico to the west, and Cowles Mountain to the north. This would be a good spot to watch the sunset with your furiends. After we hiked, we drove about 15 minutes to grab breakfast at Sheldon’s Service Station (c1920), 8401 La Mesa Blvd, La Mesa, CA 91942. Dogs are allowed on the patio!
