Getting around
San Carlos is one of those San Diego neighborhoods that locals love to keep to themselves. It's tucked away in the hills and home to one of the city’s most iconic natural spots—Cowles Mountain. This peak stands at 1,591 feet, making it the highest point within San Diego’s city limits. On a clear day, you’ll catch sweeping views of the ocean, downtown, and even Mexico from the top!

If you're into hiking or just want a good excuse to get outside, Cowles is a must. The main trailhead is only about a mile and a half away (near Navajo and Golfcrest) and has parking and restrooms. The hike itself is about three miles round-trip and climbs 1,000 feet, so bring water and sunscreen—there’s not much shade, but the views are totally worth it.

This area has a laid-back, outdoorsy vibe and is super convenient for exploring San Diego. You're close to nature, but also not far from shops, restaurants, and fun spots for the whole family. Just a few minutes away, you’ve got Mission Trails Regional Park—over 8,000 acres of trails, hills, and Lake Murray, which is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, or a peaceful walk by the water.

If you're up for a bit of a challenge, try the “Secret Stairs” in La Mesa's Mt. Nebo/Windsor Hills neighborhood. It’s a fun little workout with great views. And if you're traveling with kids, Harry Griffen Park is always a hit—huge grassy spaces, a playground, and even live music in the summer.

For those who love the water, Lake Murray is just a short drive away with options to bike, walk, or rent a little boat for the afternoon (don’t forget your fishing license if you’re casting a line!). No license? No worries—Santee Lakes is only about seven miles away and perfect for a laid-back day of fishing or just soaking in the sun.
