There are two trailheads for Zuma Canyon either off Busch Dr. or Bonsall Dr. depending on what hike you would like to do. Both are easily accessed off the Pacific Coast Highway and there are parking lots at both places. For this hike I decided to check out the Zuma Canyon Loop, Ocean View Trail, and Canyon View Trail. All of these trails are dog and family friendly.
After a steep ascent from the canyon floor to the ridge I was afforded excellent views deep into the canyon as well as over the Pacific Ocean. The number of trail options make this an excellent destination for any type of hiker as you can extend or shorten your trek depending on what you are looking for.
I did not see much wildlife on this hike but the serene atmosphere, views into the canyon, and of course the splendid Pacific Ocean made this a relaxing and refreshing afternoon hike.
