I'm writing this with a heavy heart and a real pit in my stomach…read more We booked the 2-hour, 45-minute trail ride for three people and were genuinely excited about the beach experience. Unfortunately, what we witnessed left us deeply uncomfortable. As we walked out to the horses, one mare immediately stood out. She looked extremely thin, tired, and very old. It was hard to ignore. As we looked around more closely, we realized that all of the horses -- about 14 of them -- were already fully saddled and appeared not to have been brushed beforehand. I understand horses live outdoors and get dirty, but this was not normal dust or a bit of mud. Their coats were caked with dried mud and what looked like urine stains. Their fur felt stiff and crusted over. You couldn't even comfortably pet them. My friend was assigned the older mare. When she tried to gently pet her neck, the horse pinned her ears back in a way that suggested discomfort or pain. It didn't feel like a "don't touch me" moment -- it felt like a horse that was worn down. The day was warm -- in the 80s -- and there were long stretches without much breeze. We were sweating, and so were the horses. When we returned from the ride, the horses were tied back up with sweat. We saw no water buckets, no hay in the area where they were tied, and none were offered water while we were there. After nearly three hours in the heat carrying riders, they were left standing there unattended while the guide walked back to the hut and sat down with the other guides. For context, both my friend and I own horses and have cared for many horses over the years. We understand what normal barn conditions look like and what it means to care for working animals. This isn't a casual observation from someone unfamiliar -- it comes from hands-on experience feeding, grooming, riding, and tending to horses properly. What we saw did not reflect attentive daily care. For a $250 experience, this wasn't about expecting luxury. It was about expecting humane, knowledgeable care for the animals doing the work. We left feeling sick, unsettled, and genuinely concerned for the well-being of that older mare wishing we could take her home with us. You need to do better. These horses deserve attentive grooming, proper hydration, and not just to be used ride after ride without visible attention to their comfort and health.

But the most important reason to visit is to experience the humanity of it all, realize Mexico is our friend and ally and just over that wall. It's sad how militarized the wall is on our side - we can't get anywhere near it while on the Mexico side they are enjoying life and walking right up to it. It really helps give you perspective!

SW most here, southernmost in Key West, NE most at Quoddy Head Maine and NW most at Neah Bay Washington. There should be some effort required to reach the extreme of anything and Border Field fits the bill. The walk out to the wall and border is a mile ++ of pavement, horse-trails, deep-soft sand and then a beach-walk to the border. Expect the border patrol to be interested in your activities, but also say hi and thank these guys for protecting our border and protecting US citizens. Plenty of folks on the Mexico-side taking pictures of me / taking pictures of them. The Friendship area and most of the state-park seems neglected of maintenance and significantly overgrown. Regardless - this is a beautiful corner of the world and well worth the extra effort to visit.

The park points to Mexico. Literally. (Look at the map.)…read more When I was here, it wasn't soggy. That was the nearby and much bigger Border Field State Park, whose sogginess changed our plans. That was all right, and I've given cryptic clues in my Barrio Logan-train-station review. It had to do with shrimp and warm Tecate, but it's not that kind of story. I didn't drink, and I managed to maintain my vegetarianness despite the difficulty of doing so. I've cracked under much milder conditions, which makes me want to affirm--although I won't--that pressure brings out the best in me. When I was reading at Cal, I attended a solidarity strike. It had absolutely nothing to do with Larsen Field, actually, but one of the organizers (?) reminded me a lot of one of the organizers on that bus in Tijuana. I wondered whether it was the same strong woman, but then I remembered that she (the one on the bus in Tijuana) was a nurse, and nurses didn't organize non-nurse UC workers, did they? Or maybe they did. I ate a burrito at some point. The field is well maintained, and that surprised me. I wanted to play Little League here. Or do more than pee in the community center, which was decorated nicely, like it was done by a second-grade teacher. Kids will run where they please. And they do. The river that runs near here is disappointing, but it reminds me of home. Home isn't Mexico. It's Whittier. But anyone who knows where Whittier Boulevard is might associate that home with Mexico (except for the Central Americans), and to be perfectly honest, I understand that. Better than I understand the Mission.

I feel bad about leaving negative feedback on a FREE park, of all things. But I felt that the space…read morewas unsafe and dirty, so based on my recent impressions, I don't recommend this hike. We arrived before 8AM so the parking lots at the staging areas still had their gates closed. We parked on Hollister, around a block before Main. It did not look like there were any parking restrictions. So we started the hike on the western side of the park, which based on prior Yelp reviews, probably is not the best area to hike. As we progressed through the hike, we headed past multiple tents (unclear if seeing a portion of a homeless encampment or just scattered tents). We got startled by someone who seemed to materialize suddenly outside a tent into the trail. But what made us leave the area was an individual who was yelling angrily and cursing heading toward us. Maybe he was just not a morning person, but we clearly couldn't go any further. Other issues: Each dog we came across was an unleashed dog. The owners would be far behind, so the first two times, I thought they were wild dogs and was not certain of their friendliness. As an avid hiker, this does not seem to be the usual hiking etiquette. Trail is clearly demarcated and paved, but it seemed to have squashed piles of poo versus mud. Initially we went in the wrong direction and went under a dark bridge (see photo, which makes it look less ominous than it actually was). I think this direction actually does take people on a specific trail, but this one was not part of the 8mi out-and-back hike we were planning. If you end up here, you likely took a wrong turn. As we walked, I felt that the park smelled like eucalyptus mixed with something not so pleasant. Not sure what it was, but we had to switch frequently to mouth -breathing, which is not a typical problem I have during hikes. It was meant to be an 8mi hike but we turned back early because we did not feel very comfortable after being possibly chased so ended up just completing 1.6mi. Again, I hate to criticize parks, especially such a large natural space in a sea of urbanity. But this was not a fun hike, and I will never return unless the area becomes less unwelcoming.
