Clevenger Canyon South

Cappie’s Scoop: I’ve hiked this trail a few times but not too long ago there was a fire and it hurt the area very badly. But when I last hiked here, I saw a lot of green grass, flowers and trees growing again. It’s kind of sad hiking in the burn area and I always seem to get black soot on me from the broken trees. If you make it past this part, you will find really nice views at the top plus two metal chairs to sit in on top of a huge boulder. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: At the top you’ll find a couple of metal chairs cemented to a big rock. Great resting spot with a view!

Directions: From I-15, take the Via Rancho Parkway exit. Head east on Via Rancho Parkway towards the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Continue as Via Rancho Parkway turns into Bear Valley Parkway. Turn right onto San Pasqual Road, then turn right onto Highway 78, still following signs for San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Continue on Highway 78 for 6.7 miles, the trailhead will be on the right.
