About Maple Canyon Trail San Diego

Sitting between the neighborhoods of Bankers Hill and Little Italy, the Maple Canyon trail in San Diego is one of the more accessible and beautiful urban hikes around. The trail is just under 1 mile (one way). On the way you’ll be surrounded by pretty steep canyon walls, lots of tall eucalyptus trees and green foliage (depending on the time of year), and you’ll pass under a few tall bridges, which make a great scene on the trail.

Best Parts

  • Trees and green foliage
  • A chance to see wildlife
  • It is a great place to exercise
