10 San Diego Trails to Get You Outside in 2018

Difficulty Level
Easy, great for beginners who are new to exercising

Distance
2.5 miles for the loop

Where

The trail begins from a parking lot on Oak Oasis Road off Wildcat Canyon Road in Lakeside. Follow it west and then go either direction at the split to make a loop.

What to Look For

A shady oak grove for a quick break

Why We Love It

The flat and smooth trail is a family-friendly alternative to the nearby challenge of El Cajon Mountain.

Where to Refuel Afterward

Try the scrambles or a frittata at the classic diner Izzy’s Cafe (1252 Broadway, El Cajon). They also have all the traditional breakfast options, including hotcakes and stuffed French toast.
