South Fortuna Mountain Trail is a 4.6 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near San Diego, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
Awesome hike! I had to scramble maybe twice towards the top, but overall nice and tiring. Wide and narrow trails, no shade for the most part and rocky in some areas.
Esta increíble bonita vista un poco pensada porque llevaba peso extra el de mi bebe pero lo logramos
Too much water has made it impossible to pass and follow the trail.
Very challenging. Not ideal for people who need to sit down often or if you have much difficulty walking up inclines for extended periods of time (like .6 miles). Not many shady areas so keep that in mind for you and your pets.
Harder hike with beautiful sights. Took about 3 hours. Near the beginning you have to cross through ankle height water. Bring a towel and lunch or a bunch of snacks.

Great hike with a wide array of trail types and terrains. One of my favorites in mission trails and wasn’t too crowded at all!
I like to continue down to the saddle and loop back through Suycott wash
Very good trail. It got hard at some points but worth it once you get to the top.
River crossing got our feet wet but the trail was WAY less crowded than other mission hills trails.
The west side of south fortuna has stairs up the side. They are challenging but you don’t have to worry about slipping as much like you do on some of the other trails.
It was a Monday so not too busy. Beautiful 75 degree weather. Steep in some spots. As of today I have hiked all 5 Mission Trails peaks on the first 11 days of 2021!
