"Although suited for purposes other than bicycling, the primary function of this trail is to provide a relatively level shortcut for bikers traveling between downtown San Diego and points north. During my short visit I encountered over a dozen bikers and one lone jogger.
The trail is nicely paved from end to end, and wide enough to accommodate two bikers riding side-by-side. Don’t expect scenic views though; for the most part you’ll be looking at motor vehicle traffic on nearby Interstate 5, an active railroad line, and plenty of overhead utility wires. There is very little shade along the route; what does exist can be found closer to Gilman Drive.
Parking is available on Santa Fe Street. However, this area is quite remote so do be cautious about leaving valuables in plain sight. As stated in the posted trail description, there are no services of any kind along the route, or near either trailhead.
Feel free to drop me an e-mail for further information."
