March 2, 2021March 1, 2021The trail can get really crowded during the weekends so start early if you can. Keep safe
February 27, 2021Great teal
February 25, 2021Easy part of the way, difficult for the ascent.
February 24, 2021February 22, 2021Super quick and fun summit! The views at the top are panoramic and perfect for sunrise or sunset. The top has lots of rocks to sit in if you want to bring snacks/beers.
February 21, 2021The beautiful views make the steep climb well worth it.
February 21, 2021February 21, 2021A nice short trail with excellent views. However it feels longer cause the incline is constant, definitely steep near end
February 20, 2021February 20, 2021Moderate to a saddle then a solid straight up some stairs/steep chaparral bound single track. A nice little workout! Definitely a decent amount of traffic so it’s worth coming early morning or weekday to avoid crowds. Great view of coast and out to mountains to west with major peaks all visible from El Cap out to Woodson, Laguna, Cuyamaca, and even Palomar etc in the distance.

February 16, 2021February 14, 2021February 14, 2021February 14, 2021Great easy to moderate hike, can be steep at parts but not too bad.
February 13, 2021February 13, 2021This one definitely should be classified as difficult. It’s incredibly steep and rocky in parts (watch your footing!), and it was very crowded the day I went. The expansive views at the top are a wonderful reward, though...we could see all the way to downtown San Diego.
February 13, 2021February 13, 2021February 12, 2021Steep. A good workout
February 11, 2021This one never gets easier
February 11, 2021February 11, 2021February 11, 2021Tough
February 11, 2021Tough but a Good workout. I park far away from the trail to give myself a lil warm up walk and cool down
