Centennial Trail along Lower Otay Reservoir offers rolling chaparral ridgelines, reflective reservoir vistas, and seasonal wildflowers — ideal for wide landscapes, intimate nature close-ups, and water reflections. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and mirrored water; late winter–spring for flowers. Trailhead parking at 1750 Wueste Rd; trail is mostly dirt and moderately graded (hike/bike). No permit for day use; expect variable wind and some sun exposure—bring sun protection and water.
