Start at the Visitor Center to learn about the trails, flora and fauna (many are rare or endangered), and various things to do during your visit.

Over 370 bird species have been observed there with 5 of them being endangered species that are regularly seen."

"Los Peñasquitos (“little cliffs”) is a great beginners’ trail for those who want to enjoy mountain-feel views without having to hire an expedition crew. There are two approaches (east and west), and the trailheads offer a trek of either 6.5, or 5.5 miles, respectively. The terrain is gradual and level, but the trails are surrounded by the sort of views that gave the area its name: scenic rocky outcroppings, and stony formations that ripple with rubble."

"Hillcrest Brewing is more than just a great place to sample a wide variety of specialty beers, some far-above-average tavern food specialties, and a convivial atmosphere. Hillcrest can also lay claim to being the world’s first LGBTQ-owned-and-operated brewery in the world. So be sure to stop in to try a pint from among their deep range of tasty tappers and say hello to their “hunky brewsters."
"Brewing beer since 1989 at their Pacific Beach Brewery, they have since opened tasting rooms and restaurants in 10 other locations. Centrally located in the Village, their La Jolla location offers happy hour Monday – Friday from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. They have $5 beers, bites and flights and you can enjoy the specials inside or outside on their patio."
