Hellhole Canyon Preserve
Valley Center, CA
By Simir Shah
A county preserve with about thirteen miles of trails through chaparral, oak and seasonal creek beds. It gets brutally hot May through September — this is a cool-season hike, and the shorter loops near the trailhead are the realistic option with kids.
