For hikers seeking a peaceful getaway, this trail is ideal.
You hike to the Santa Carina Overlook (aka Tern Point Overlook), which provides a fantastic view of the East Basin. You can also connect to our trails in the Central Basin by going underneath Interstate 5 and using the suspension bridge. Our Native Plant Nursery is situated on Santa Inez, where you may find a school group planting native seeds.
Traversing this quiet stretch of the San Elijo trails, you can spot peaceful wildlife – and even abundant wildflowers in the springtime.
