Kwaay Paay

On the subject of Kwaay Paay, it's a great, mostly steep 24-mile hike that gets your blood pumping and provides some of our best city views of San Diego. If you're planning to hike this trail at sunset, make sure to allow yourself enough time to finish before it gets too dark, as the path down is rocky and visibility is preferable.
