This is a wonderful wilderness reserve to explore the back country of San Diego County. Hike your way through oak woodlands, sage scrub, mixed chaparral and riparian habitat. Wildlife abounds with plenty of coyotes, deer, foxes, hawks and vultures in their undisturbed environs to see. This inland area reaches extreme temperatures in summer and no water is available, so be sure to pack liquids....
Blue Sky Ecological Reserve is a 700-acre oak-lined canyon flanked by coastal sage scrub and chaparral-covered hills. Brilliant colors of wild flowers on the hillsides in spring, the songs of birds, and the tree-lined creek provide an inviting escape for a nature walk.
