The adjacent Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum also hosts group scouting camping, Scout Camporees for San Diego-Imperial Council units and the annual kickoff for the Girl Scout Cookie Sales. From Guajome you can follow the 10-mile San Luis Rey River Bike Trail for a flat ride straight to the Pacific Ocean. Also it is the number-one rated bird watching destination in North County. This park has its own campground, hiking trails and lakeshore fishing. It is also a popular destination for bird-watching and equestrian trails.

San Luis Rey River Bike Trail

Slrtrail2017h1.jpg

San Luis Rey River Bike Trail is a paved path, for bicycle and pedestrian use, that follows the San Luis Rey River in Oceanside. The 9.5 miles (14 km) paved class one bike route is an easy and relatively flat and straight ride. Its entire length is separated from all vehicular transportation, there are no at-grade street crossings, traffic signals, or stop signs along it. In connects the beach and pier along the coast with Guajome Regional Park, but providing additional trailheads for cycling. Detour at Douglas Street to reach Mission San Luis Rey.

Mormon Battalion Trail

Mormon Battalion Trail is one of the Historic Trails of America. The Mormon Battalion, the only religion-based unit in United States military history, served from July 1846 – July 1847 during the Mexican–American War of 1846–1848. This volunteer unit of about 550 Latter-day Saint men was commanded by regular U.S. Army officers. During its service, the battalion made a grueling march of nearly 2,000 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to San Diego, California. This trail follows approximate path of SR-76 to Mission San Luis Rey (site where the Battalion saw the ocean for the first time) and then turns south down El Camino Real.

Mission San Luis Rey

Mslr2017h1.jpg
