Did you know that San Diego’s San Pasqual Valley is home to an agricultural preserve largely owned by the City of San Diego Water Utilities Department?
The 14,000-acre area located just south of Escondido was designated as an agricultural and open-space preserve in the 1960s. It is now home to many regional producers, including Be Wise Ranch and Konyn Dairy Farm, and more than 2,600 animals residing within the 1,800 acres that house the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
You can enjoy the bucolic views of the valley while hiking the San Pasqual Valley Trail, part of the 70-mile Coast to Crest Trail that extends from Del Mar to Volcan Mountain.
