Hosp Grove Trail is a 2.5 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Carlsbad, California that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, running, and nature trips and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
So so many different paths to take on this, keep the map handy otherwise you’ll end up turned around.
Easy trail with visible trail markings and posts. Follow the trail map and try to avoid the dead ends. Street and busy commercial parking is nearby which makes most of the trail less peaceful than I had hoped but overall the hiking trail is a perfect hour of easy/moderate hiking/workout.
it was good. you can make it a little more challenging by crossing the street and exploring the other side and coming back. we went down to the sidewalk on the way back to the beginning only because we didn't want to back track our steps so much. nice evening walk.
nice little walk around the park in the early morning or evening thru shade with some elevation change to make it a little fun.
