While you’re riding along the peaceful trail, don’t forget to take note of the local plant and animal life in the Tijuana River Valley Regional Park. The wild Nasturtiums will certainly catch your attention, and the songs of the local birds will make you feel nice and tranquil.

The trail is wide and easy to navigate, and it alternates between being surrounded by greenery and gorgeous wide-open spaces.

Make sure you make an appointment ahead of time, as the horseback rides do require reservations in advance. You can choose from private tours that last for one hour, an hour and a half, or two hours.
