Great place to enjoy the great outdoors. The top part of the mountain offers spectacular views of San Diego. There is a 360 degree view of the city from the top. Typically, this three mile round trip hike will take 1.5 hours, but can take as little as 45 minutes for a highly active hiker (it took me 18 minutes to return to the entrance from the summit).
Great place for a family outing or a workout. The views at the summit are amazing. The night sky, out of this world!
Awesome hike with a good view! I went at the peak heat time and yes it was hot, but it was definitely tolerable..however, I am from a much warmer part of the country. Easy access to the trail with decent traffic to the top, but not enough to hinder your experience. Go there to find out yourself! No shade at the top so if that is an issue, bring an umbrella!
Great workout the climb up. Wear hiking shoes as it is slippery and steep on the way down. View a to the top is spectacular.
