4th of July Guided Nature Walk
Join an MTRP Trail Guide on a guided nature walk and learn about the plants, animals, geology, history, and ecology of the park. You will hike one of these scenic trails: The Oak Grove Loop showcasing majestic coast live oaks and rare Engelmann’s oaks. The Visitor Center Loop highlighting coastal sage scrub, chaparral, riparian woodland habitats and the Grinding Rocks featuring one of the archaeological sites in the park. These interpretive nature walks are offered to enhance your appreciation of the unique beauty of San Diego’s natural environment. The summer flowers are in bloom. The trails used are easy, but have uneven surfaces and some involve steps, so be sure to wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and bring along water. A hat and sunscreen are also recommended, but the morning walk is not so hot. Walks are canceled if raining.
