Tecolote Canyon Natural Park

Tecolote Canyon is a designated open space natural park of nearly 1000 acres. It was dedicated as a Natural Park in 1978 with the Master Plan published by the Tecolote Canyon Citizens Advisory Committee in 1982. This urban treasure hosts 22 species listed as threatened and four species listed as endangered. San Diego County is home to more endemic species than any other county in the US, making San Diego a biodiversity hotspot.
Explore approximately 6.5 miles of trails and you'll find each visit is unique.
