Santa Rosa Plateau trail run

Went down to San Diego today so I stopped at Santa Rosa Plateau this morning. Parked at the Visitors Center and headed down Waterline Rd (4wd rd), turning onto Monument Rd (4wd) at the gate. Saw 3 deer on this part of the trail, then took the single track Punta Mesa trail past the Adobe House, turning left up Vernal Pool trail single track. Past the Vernal Pools, took Los Santos trail up to Overlook Hill (great views of the entire Reserve here) and down to Coyote trail and Oak Tree trail which dumps out to Tenaja Truck trail (4wd) then back via Waterline Rd.
This area is a great place to run with nice rolling hills. The trails are very well maintained and the park reminds me of pictures of the grasslands in Kenya. Picked up a copy of the Reserve map and scanned it here: trail map. The road is red, 4wd roads blue, and single track trails green. Total distance today 11.6mi at 8.5 min/mi
