Parks & Nature
Picnic and fish at Lake Wohlford, visit Bates Nut Farm, go wine tasting at Hilltop Winery and Triple B Ranch, visit Valley View, Pauma and Harrahs casinos nearby. Daley Ranch park for picnics, hiking and mountain biking. Watch the sunset and then the star-filled sky while you enjoy the fire pit. You may hear the coyotes serenade, and the rooster call in morning, and then forget where you are altogether - yet so close to town.

Nurtured by Nature is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that was formed in 2008 by husband and wife team, Kevin & Wendy Yates, in Valley Center, CA after Southern California wildfires destroyed their home and surrounding area in 2003. After experiencing unconditional support from the entire community to help rebuild their home, they wanted to give back to the same community that gave so much! Kevin & Wendy’s appreciation for family, community, and the natural world, has fostered the idea of Nurtured by Nature – to provide solace in times of misfortune or trouble.
The programs provide a once in a lifetime experience to children in need through individual animal encounters at our facility.

This volcano erupted some 15 to 20 million years ago. It formed in response to the initiation of the San Adreas Fault. You can walk into an abandoned rock quarry and stand in what would have been a lava filled vent, or throat, of the now extinct volcano. The towering hexagonal colums were formed as molten rock cooled, and they are beautiful to see and photograph.
