About the TrailsThe Mule Hill segment of the Coast to Crest Trail is rich with 19-century history, a time when the region was just being settled. The circa 1870 Sikes Adobe Historic Farm-house, located near the Sunset Drive staging area, burned in the 2007 wildfires; only the adobe walls were left standing. The Farmhouse was reconstructed in 2010. The trail takes vis-itors past Mule Hill, an 1846 Mexican-American War battle site and State-registered landmark. Portions of the trail follow the old Butterfield Overland Stage Route, which carried mail between San Diego and Texas. The town of Bernardo, found-ed in the 1870s and flooded in 1918 when the San Dieguito River was dammed to form Lake Hodges, was located just to the west of Mule Hill. Just over a mile from the Sunset Drive Staging Area, this Coast to Crest Trail begins to wind through the City of San Diego’s San Pasqual Agricultural Preserve and becomes more challenging as it climbs along Raptor Ridge. The San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail will one day stretch 70 miles from the ocean to the Pacific Crest. The Sunset Drive Staging Area is accessible just off I-15 and Via Rancho Parkway in Escondido. The North Shore Lake Hodges segment of the Coast to Crest Trail heads west from the Sunset Drive Staging Area as well.The Highland Valley Trail follows the gentle hills on the south side of the valley, through woodland dotted with coast live oaks. The first section of the trail includes a Children’s Interpretive Walk, dedicated in 1999 to Ruth Merrill who contributed greatly to open space preservation and the betterment of children through her volunteer work. Youngsters can learn about native wildlife through Discovery Points along the trail and a native plant garden. The Highland ValleyTrail staging area is accessible just off I-15 and Pomer-ado Road in Rancho Bernardo.For maps and information about all the trails in the San Dieguito River Park, visit www.sdrp.org.
