Some might call Valley Center a hellhole. This most certainly sounds harsh, but it would just be the locals' funny nod to one of this Southern California city's most notable attractions: Hellhole Canyon Preserve. In truth, and all joking aside, Valley Center is a sunny, family-friendly town in San Diego County that over 9,000 residents call home, and Hellhole Canyon Preserve is a great escape for those who love to hike.
