"There is a reason why locals say Laguna Coast Wilderness Park has the best trails. For one, it is part of the Natural Community Conservation Planning Program which works with the county and local governments to protect the land’s fragile ecosystems and endangered species. And second, the park has a variable skill set from easy to hard trailheads."

"Home to more than 40 trails across 7,000 acres of coastal wilderness preserve, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park is a “must” for outdoors enthusiasts. Park highlights include Laurel Canyon Trail and The Willow Staging Area. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings of several rare and endangered species."

"Located in Old Town Temecula, this casual eatery serves up innovative pub food in a restored home from the 1950s. The farm-to-table fare rotates seasonally to reflect what’s in season, and the salads, burgers, sandwiches, and desserts will win you over with their delicious flavors and cheeky menu names. A full bar, patio seating, and live music on the weekends add to the overall appeal of PUBlic House."

"They offer an incredible variety of food with their ever-rotating seasonal menus. Their most popular offer is the Backyard Burger, a grilled 100% Grassfed ground wagyu beef burger served with grilled onions and a jalapeno dijonaise. They also have a really good fish selection, my husband loves the mac and cheese and also their meatloaf."

"When not being sourced from the Temecula Creek Inn garden or nearby farms, executive sous chef Sterling King (a San Diego Culinary School graduate) forages ingredients locally for dishes across his rustic-American menus. Open for brunch, lunch, and dinner – the bar menu offers a cheese board with local honey, plus smaller versions of the poutine, and carnitas nachos, while standouts from dinner include the burrata with peach and sorrel pistou, a crab salad, and local halibut with chorizo broth. A good selection of local and regional California wines are available on tap or ‘by the stem,’ and there’s a great signature cocktail list too – try the gin-based blackberry bramble."

The menu is heavy on meats, from tri-tip to to T-bones to meaty chili, but also offers seafood, salads and chicken."

"As soon as my kids saw the rope nets of this new play structure, they were off and running to play “spiderman.” They created obstacle courses out of the steps, ropes, and nets that led around the play area. While they explored, I tried out the new exercise stations along the path that led up and around to a large soccer field at the top of the hill. I enjoyed the walking path that was bordered by California native plants and had views of the Pacific Ocean below and south Orange County on the other side."

"The 7-acre expanse in a quiet neighborhood high above the city is accessible only by steep, curving roads. Undeveloped, it has the feel of a wilderness park. Built on several levels of bluffs, it offers numerous aloes, broad lawns, overgrown bushes, shade trees, as well as ocean and mountain views."
