Elfin ForestThe Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve is a 750 scenic area with 13 miles of hiking, equestrian trails, mountain biking, and picnic areas. This reserve is especially beautiful in the spring when you will find many colorful wild flowers in bloom. There are a variety of hiking trails. Mountain bikes and leashed dogs are also allowed on the trails. Print a copy of the trail map before you leave home.
The trail along the flowing creek is an easy hike on level ground. The creek is lined with oak trees. The Botanical Trail has signs that describe the plants in the area. 
The main hike in this ecological preserve is the 1.5 mile Way Up Trail. It is aptly named for its elevation gain of 600 feet. The trail leads up the mountain to the Ridgetop Picnic Area where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the area. On a clear day you will be able to see San Diego, the reservoir, and the Pacific Ocean, which is 12 miles away.
