Carmel Mountain Preserve

Carmel Mountain Preserve in San Diego has an extensive trial system, you can end up hiking 7 or 8 miles on the official trails, and there are quite a few more unofficial trails. The preserve has no facilities, and a little shade. Hiking is mostly on sandstone or dirt / sand trails. There are some keep out areas due to the vernal pool's ghost shrimp in the winter and spring. There are some moderately rugged areas, or you can stick the more dirt road like paths. The place is not busy, there are several small, free parking lots and available street parking. Hiking San Diego County has an additional write up.
