During the first few months of the pandemic when everyone was stuck inside and beaches and parks were closed, many people fled to the natural beauty of San Diego’s open spaces. Many found their way to the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve and its destination waterfall, a peaceful respite in the canyon with water cascading through a cluster of rocks.
While the preserve continues to be a great place to experience nature, exercise and relieve stress, San Diego city and county rangers as well as the Friends of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve have shared concerns that the preserve is suffering from too much love. As visitation at the canyon has risen substantially over the past year, unfortunately so has damage to the preserve, they said.
