Below is a picturesque view from my recent hike at prospect park. This spot is a common hiking ground for many in the San Marcos area. Whether you’re looking for some good exercise and fresh air or simply want to explore a new location, this spot is perfect! I would suggest closed toed shoes and some comfortable athletic wear to make this trek more enjoyable. I wore some tennis shoes and athletic leggings and found this most fitting.

The park consists of around two miles of trails. One trail leads more into the brush and trees and the other trail leads to a more open field. An interesting part about this hiking location is that there is a large mound of rocks that forms a trail with a higher elevation, when climbing to the top of this trail the view is quite breathtaking. You will be able to see much of San Marcos and the life of the area surrounding this spot. Sunsets are quite astounding paired with this view.

Another neat spot at this location is this chasm that opens about 100 ft. in diameter and a neat box shaped concrete ledge you can sit out on. You can tell many people come through this spot because of the graffiti tagging this ledge. The terrain of the park consists of some rocky, and some smoother areas of trail. The variation makes it perfect for running or biking if you choose. I hope this information gives you a better idea of what to expect!
