Hidden gem of moderate trails. Cool local history as well. Definitely not a place to visit on hot days as there is very little shade, especially once down in the valley. Parked at the lot tucked off of the 67. Had a friend with me too which was helpful because it would be so easy to drive right on by. While Cardiac Hill is a fun play on words, don’t let it discourage you as the climb is moderate compared to most of San Diego County’s more technical climbs. Great little ranger station/visitor center as well. Was very unexpected.

Nice hike from the Sycamore Canyon Trailhead. About 7 miles ... Martha's Grove is a winding moderately rocky trail with some minor up and down grades and then is flat along the dry creek bed, headed west up Cardiac Hill which was steep at some points but is a dirt road so not too challenging. The Ridge Line Trail offers nice north-south views, a bit steep descending back to the creek bed. and then it is a dirt road back past the visitors center. About 3.5 hours with a stop for a quick lunch and to check out the ranger station (w/ two - 8 year old's).

Beautiful, expansive reserve great for horses, bikes and hikers. Parking area with a restroom at the trailhead. There are more restrooms at the Ranger’s Station recommended on the return route. The area is extremely well maintained and there are several historical remains. Hikers, start on the Martha’s Grove trail to the left of the reserve map. We, unfortunately, did not do this and later learned that trail is One Way only. We took Cardiac Hill to make our loop, hence the elevation gain. There’s a great picnic area with panoramic views at the top.
