San Diego Backcountry

I rediscovered the backcountry foothills of San Diego this spring. All the rain this year made the hills exceptionally green. The upper portion of the San Diego River watershed has a number of waterfalls that provide spectacular vistas and respite. I stumbled upon one of these falls while bushwhacking through the recently burned hills above San Diego Country Estates. This fall was on private property and had no trail out to it but was so cool that I had to show some friends the following weekend.  I’m sure there is a local name for this place because I can’t find any designated name on a map.
