Indian Head Trail — Attraction in Encinitas

I lovely little pocket of nature. There are some really stunning hidden gems in here. Docking a star for poorly marked trails. Or non-existent trails that the map says it has more like. The trail I was on was wide and clear, but there was really only the one path, not the many the maps say there are. It also suffers severely in a couple of places to water erosion on some of the steeper bits. (Understandably a part of nature but maybe could use some flow direction.) Overall, I will definitely be back again to see if the other paths ever open up, but even if not, it is still a nice short hike. 30 mins maybe, but if you nature walk it, it could definitely take longer. There were a few nooks I didn't end up...

I can't say much about the hiking as I was there to clean up and trim the trees on one particular trail. I can say that the trail I was on was well marked, wide, and clean. Everyone I encountered while working on the trail all week was very kind and considerate. I plan to come back here to actually hike...

Local trail head that provides access to Indian Head trail and Indian Head trail loop around a small hill. From the top of Indian Head overlook you can see the golf course next to Quail Gardens Drive. Mainly good for trail runners and dog walkers and the trail is too wide and boring for most...
