Straddling the US boarder and Mexico boarder is Pony land, which is located in San Diego county,…read moreChula Vista to be exact. The trail area was once used for navy training and a dump site; now for recreational use. The preserve/wetlands are patrolled and have cameras that are throughout the trails. Communities tucked in Tijuana canyons and US canyons. I'm not your average rider as I love cute mocktails on the beach and sewing in my spare time. Abort mission? By no means. Pony land is a family owned ranch that is also an interactive petting zoo. My tour guide was Rozka and while she was rather quite lovely, however, Lilly stole the show. A calm and gentle gal--yet a playful, curious, and sweet mare. She was not easily spooked by things or noises on the trail. No leaf eating for the horses during the journey, it is bad form. Horses have way more character than I would have thought! I have learned they can push your boundaries or engage in lighthearted mischief while sticking to their training. They do have porta potties on the grounds and customer service was wonderful. They also provide complimentary sunblock and mosquito spray--sprayed bug spray on horses for their protection as well. I enjoyed myself throughly and would definitely do it again. The wind in my hair and the views were breath stopping! Riding along the beach was wondrous and or romantic even--a truly magical experience. Until further notice, continuing to romanticize life. "No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle!"

We loved it here! We attempted to book a campsite but of course, being July 4th there was nothing…read moreavailable. The more I researched places to stay in San Diego, this campground kept coming up. I was skeptical since it was so close to the border but after so many failed attempts to locate a place to stay for a good price, I finally dug deeper into a harder look at this campground. Once I found out they had Yurts, it was a done deal. I called and reserved the last one. It was the closest one to the bathrooms, yay us! We arrived and fell in love with the yurt! It was the best "gl-amping" I've ever done. The location is a little out of the way, on the drive there, there are farms, horses, etc but it was nice. I told my husband that I didn't want to arrive after dark because it didn't seem well lit. The bathrooms were pretty clean. The shower was a little frustrating. The water pressure is low and I have a lot of hair so I have to sit under the shower for a while to get it all wet. It took a while to warm up, which I was grateful for warm water, but since we paid $1 per token, I wish the water would turn warm faster. It turns off every 30 seconds and you have to push the button to have it return. I guess these are first world problems because overall, we loved our stay. When checking out, you have to wait for the rangers to arrive so don't plan on leaving first thing in the morning. They arrived at 9am. They were all super friendly and helpful. We will be back!

I have walked the full length of this park, and now I understand the mixed reviews. It is an urban…read morepark with the good, bad, and the ugly. If you are near Chula Vista, it is great having a nature trail within a few miles from Downtown CV. First of all, it's a misnomer to call it a park. It is a four mile hiking path, so expect to walk eight miles if you want to do the full length since it is one way. Its endpoints are near Highway 5 and 805. The western canyon section is my favorite. You walk parallel to the river with a view of Otay Mountain in the distance. It has dense fauna so you forget about the houses above you and the glimpses of the main road. The trail is not well marked, but it is pretty straight and level so you can't really get lost. On the western portion there are paths that crisscross. The fire utility access road on a higher plain, the "main" path, and a segway closer to the river. It is mixed surfaces varying between sandy loam, gravel, and small loss rock. You can make it with sneakers, but I prefer hiking boots . In contrast, the western portion is a bit like an apocalyptic movie set. Personally I wouldn't go pass Fenton Pond. As I reached towards the Imperial Beach border, there were underpass sections with some sketchy folks. I came across a few tents and a zombie like woman with her long hair covering her face. The path shares a section with Bella Terra nursery, which makes spruces up the barren landscape but there was an overwhelming smell of fertilizer. There is a constant hum of traffic and the nearby trolley. Since it is near urban centers, you will find graffiti and garbage anywhere by main roads. There are multiple entry points, but unless you are local they are not easy to find. I recommend starting at the ranger station on Beyer Blvd. with a parking lot and good signage. If you are within thirty minute drive, I would recommend visiting this "park." My last tip is to cross the street from the parking lot in lieu of looping around the underpass.

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.
