You eventually come to some falls that are partially obscured by vegtation, but that sound is a great reward for the walk. I imagine this trail is only worth it when there has been some rain, as it was soo green, but by Summer that will all be gone. Make sure to wear pants as the trail is literally overgrown in some spots, and you can never be too cautious with ticks everywhere (we found one on our canine companion).

My mother has been a loyal Specialized customer for years, and the recent recall of her Turbo Como…read moreSL was extremely disappointing. While I appreciate that Specialized addressed a serious safety issue, the way the recall was handled left us frustrated. The recalled bike posed a risk of serious injury or death through no fault of the customer. Despite this, my mother was required to pay approximately $1,750 to receive a replacement Turbo Vado because there was no comparable replacement option available. It is difficult to understand why customers should have to spend thousands of dollars to replace a two-year-old bike that was recalled due to a manufacturing defect. The process was also slow and lacked clear communication. During the delay, the color she originally wanted sold out, leaving her with fewer choices. Between the unexpected cost, uncertainty, and limited options, the overall experience did not reflect the level of customer service we expected from a company with Specialized's reputation. We have always believed Specialized stood behind its products, which is why this experience was so disappointing. I hope the company reevaluates how it supports customers affected by major safety recalls so that loyal customers are not left bearing the financial burden of a defect that was beyond their control.

I contacted the shop after my 2021 Turbo Levo, with only 500 miles on it, suffered a motor failure. From the start, Michael was extremely helpful. He took the time to walk through the error codes with me over the phone to make sure the diagnosis was accurate, and once we confirmed the issue, he got me in the very same day. Although the bike was out of warranty, Michael and Specialized recognized that a motor failure at such low mileage was premature. They stepped up and offered a goodwill credit to help offset the cost of a full motor replacement. That gesture meant a lot and says a great deal about both the shop and the brand. It showed me that Specialized stands behind its products and that this shop stands behind its customers. Michael took excellent care of both the bike and the entire repair process. I just finished a shakedown ride through Tecolote Canyon, including the climb back out, and the bike felt absolutely brand new. I live in San Diego, and the drive to Carlsbad is not exactly convenient, especially with traffic, but after this experience I can say without hesitation that I will continue making the trip. The level of service, professionalism, and care I received made me a loyal customer. Thank you to Michael and to Specialized for doing right by both the bike and the rider.

We arrived around 8 AM on a Sunday, and the main lot was already full, but there's an overflow lot…read moreabout 400 feet away where we were able to grab the last spot. The trail itself was pretty quiet. We passed a few people here and there. It's very well maintained, though there aren't any signs or clear directions at certain points, so I'd recommend using AllTrails to stay on track. Also worth noting, there are no trash cans along the route, so plan accordingly. The trail is technically listed as not dog-friendly, but we did see a couple of dogs along the way. We did the 4.5-mile overlook loop. There were a few sections that were a bit steep, but overall it's a fairly easy hike with mostly flat terrain. There's a lot of greenery throughout, and the creek adds a really nice touch. It's a really scenic and peaceful setting. It took us about 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete. We went on a cloudy day, which ended up being perfect for the hike. Overall, it's a beautiful, well-kept trail and definitely worth checking out.

Once you start getting up you can see the entire valley of rooftop after rooftop after rooftop out to the ocean so it is nice to have quite a place for recreation in a high density populated area. Painstaking pedaling for 2 miles up over rock gardens. It was a few days after hard rains and the trail is soupy and very muddy in spots. Dry in other places. Rideable. Great views off Carlsbad out to ocean cuz no trees. Moslty chaparral native plants. This is more for hiking than mountain biking. That is my opinion and I am sticking with it. I ride all over the western USA and Canada BC. I have ridden hundreds and hundreds of trails. Not a flowly trail that cross county MTBikers like. Nondescript surrounding terrain - only hills of low chaparral scrub plants. Just up. Then down. Not so exciting for a rider. Probably a bit more fun just hiking! But a great neighborhood place to recreate - get into the wild! After an hour exploring, I shut it down. Muddy. Not thrilling for the mind, body and soul. Headed / pedaled out. Hey, the trail should dry out by summer LOL! Trails need some maintenance. Suggest put in water breaks to divert water off trails. Prevent the big ruts. Trail will continue to erode. By the way, if you hike after rains, be prepared to step in mud.

Checked out the Copper Creek Loop on the all trails app. We parked off the Y intersection on San…read moreElijo Road and walked a bit on the road before taking a left on the trail. It's best to do the large but steady uphill first if you're looking for a good workout and end with the waterfall. The trail does get you to the peak pretty quickly and you can stop, rest, and enjoy the views before continuing on the path. There are some rolling hills after. We used the all trails app as you can get a little lost with all the branching trails. We ended up doing a little over 4 miles because we missed a turn. The hike was supposed to be 3.3 miles. We enjoyed the views from the top but found the old mine especially interesting. There are some signs posted regarding the history. There is a small waterfall that you can view but not access as there's, "No Tresspassing" signs. You can get close enough to snap pictures but not so close to actually touch any running water. The trail after this is very lush with plants and shade. It made for a very pretty, quick hike. For an even shorter hike you can simply to the copper creek trail (out and back) by taking the trail in the reverse direction. It does get hot out here as the majority of the hike is NOT shaded. Bring plenty of water, hat, sunscreen and shoes with good traction. We would definitely come back!

Because let me tell you the first turn out of the lot is onto D street a steep downhill ride to a light at a busy cross street! That was the hardest part of the ride. A four hour round trip to Cardiff cruising the back streets of Encinitas to the SRF Meditation gardens and then to the dedicated bike path along the fabulous coast. Lunch at the Pacific Coast Grill was divine and we cruised home on the multi use path we took back to base. Brent had prepared us well with a thorough review of the map and recommendations. You were absolutely right Brent the Fish tacos at the PCG were terrific. Altogether a peak life experience. Thank you Brent.

Some reviews erroneously included other trails as this trail and those pictures they posted are incorrect. If Del Mar has a crappy part of town this is probably it. This is a path along the inlet for the lagoon on the back side of the Del Mar fairgrounds. There are some close interactions with the water but there's also riff-raff around here fishing in the bushes. It's not a place I'd feel totally comfortable with the kids as this trail dumps right onto the train tracks. It's a short hike, and there are so many other places to walk around and explore that I wouldn't go out of my way to walk here. The Coast to Crest trail begins not too far from here. Recently the River Path was extended across Jimmy Durante Blvd and down San Dieguito Drive to the Old Grand Ave bridge. This section is worth your time. - if you're looking for real hikes check out the various sections of the Coast to Crest trail which is close by. https://www.yelp.com/biz/coast-to-crest-trail-escondido - There is also a cool partial bridge ( Old Grand Avenue Bridge - San Dieguito Drive) where you see a ton of fish and stingray right below you. https://www.yelp.com/biz/grand-avenue-bridge-del-mar

The hike/walk leading to the narrows is pretty. There's an easier path to the top if you choose to avoid the narrows. You get the great view either way. I don't know what's worse, the etched writing in the narrows or people ahead of you using their cameras too much for social media likes. The first ladder rung at the end climb was a bit of a challenge cuz I'm 5 feet, 1 inches. Definitely a worthwhile hike. I'd say our visit lasted no more than 90 minutes. We met some friendly people and parking was easy in the quiet surrounding neighborhood.
