January 10, 2021January 10, 2021January 7, 2021Awesome
January 6, 2021Wetland trails with options to take a shaded lakeside path or a steep, rocky, but short path to the top of the peak
January 6, 2021Not pretty
January 4, 2021Be careful when taking your dogs, there is a ton of broken glass throughout the trails. At some point there was so much glass I had to pick my pup up and carry her.
January 2, 2021January 2, 2021Beautiful views! A little crowded mid morning in way back.
January 1, 2021Heavily trafficked. Good climb up to a the dormant volcano but just too many people here.
December 28, 2020Good trail, pretty empty, somewhat rutted out, and lots of the area surrounding the lake is closed off for habitat restoration
December 27, 2020Great 360 views of all San Diego
December 26, 2020Beautiful day and the trail was not too crowded
December 25, 2020December 25, 2020Great trail. Lots of side trails to add variety. Bathroom by the lake causeway was a life saver.
December 24, 2020December 24, 2020December 23, 2020Great trail with nice views! Not overly hard if you are trying to get back in shape. Just enough difficulty to get heart rate up.
December 21, 2020Nice trail but not great for dogs especially in the summer. Very little shade and thorns that get stuck in their paws. Nice otherwise.
December 20, 2020“Great trail!” Sorry for the eruption! Yes it was a very nice trail. Great views of the lake and volcano.
