Guided Nature Walk
Join a MTRP Trail Guide on a guided nature walk and learn about the plants, animals, geology, history, and ecology of the park. Come out and see the greening of the park with recent rains ! You will hike one of these scenic trails: * The Visitor Center Loop highlighting coastal sage scrub, chaparral, and riparian woodland habitats and the riverside grinding rocks, one of the archaeological sites in the park. * The Oak Grove Loop showcasing majestic coast live oaks, rare Engelmann’s oaks, and a Kumeyaay ‘ewaa (hut). 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. Walks are canceled if raining. Free walks start from the Visitor Center.
