Pine Valley is a rural community located 40 minutes from San Diego. However, it is much, much, more than that. It is a neighborhood, a place where people still greet each other when they pass, a place for children to play and a town that caters to a lifestyle that has been lost in the rush of city life. Parades, Horses, Hiking Trails and a place where the stars still shine at night. This is Pine Valley.
Located in the Cleveland National forest, Pine Valley has easy access to all the hiking trails and activities easily. The Cleveland National Forest is the southern-most National Forest in California. Consisting of 460,000 acres, the forest offers a wide variety of terrains and recreational opportunities.The Cleveland National Forest is a very special place in southern California. The forest is a haven for wildlife and plants. The wild shrub and tree-covered mountains are remnants of a landscape that at one time covered most of southern California.
