Top 5 San Diego Hikes to Pair with an SD Bar

Karina Laufenberg

San Diego isn’t just home to sunshine and surf—it’s also packed with incredible hiking trails that pair perfectly with an SD Bar in hand. Whether you're chasing ocean views or forest vibes, here are our top five hikes to fuel with your favorite flavor:

1. Torrey Pines State Reserve

With sweeping coastal cliffs and Pacific views, this iconic hike is a must. Bring our Torrey Pine Trails bar—a fitting name, right?—for a plant-based, nut-free, protein that keeps you going without weighing you down.

2. Cowles Mountain

As the highest peak in San Diego city limits, this short but steep trail gets your heart pumping. Stash an Ocean Beach Omega bar in your bag for brain-boosting omega-3s at the summit.

3. Los Peñasquitos Canyon Trail

A mellow, shaded trail with waterfalls and wildlife—ideal for a relaxed weekend outing. The Original Antioxidant bar is perfect here, packed with pecans, cranberries, and seeds to keep your energy steady.

4. Iron Mountain Trail

This moderate trail in Poway rewards you with panoramic views. Our Chula Vista Chile bar adds a little spice to your sunrise trek—balanced with dates and sunflower seeds for sustained fuel.

5. Sunset Cliffs Coastal Trail

Short, scenic, and totally Instagram-worthy. Pair it with Pacific Pistachio for a sweet-and-savory combo that’s as bold as the view.

No matter your pace or path, there’s an SD Bar for every adventure. Real ingredients. Real San Diego energy.
