Access

The San Marcos Foothills Preserve tower site (34.459240, -119.764300) is located approximately 300m northeast from the parking area at the trailhead. We have a key from County Parks to unlock the gate for drive in access. Drive east through the gate out of this parking area and follow the trail as it winds through a gully, the site is on the other side of this gully in an open field. Park on the side of this trail and carry to the site, approximately 20m south (pin shows north in map below, but not installed in this location).
