GONZALES CANYON, TORREY PINES LOOP
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2020 @ 8:00AM
Gonzales Canyon is named for the landowner, Levi Gonzales, who, after emigrating from Portugal, constructed an adobe and planted a variety of crops in the late 1800s. This is a lovely hike, somewhat challenging on the descent but easier on the ascent out of the canyon.

- I am not sure how strongly it is enforced. If you prefer you could go past the entrance, to the first street on the right, and park in the residential neighborhood.
