Cowles Mountain Hike
Time for another hike! This time we trekked up Cowles Mountain again, a part of Mission Trails Regional Park. The hike is 1.5 miles each way and is 1591 feet high. At the top there are spectacular views of San Diego.

What plant is this? Yarrow?
We highly recommend this hike, especially if you are visiting San Diego. At the top you can see all the way to Mexico on a clear day, getting views of Downtown San Diego, Cleveland National Forest, Point Loma, and Mount Soledad. It gets pretty busy, though, so be prepared to move out of the way for runners. Also, water is a must if it’s a hot day.
A Hiking We Will Go…
Lee and I discovered Mission Trails Regional Park. Well, I guess we didn’t “discover” it, since we’ve been hiking Cowles Mountain for some time. However, we just recently started exploring it. New Years’ Day we drove out there in the afternoon to check it out. We were slightly overwhelmed since we weren’t familiar with the hike options, be we just parked and headed up on a trail. We found out later that it was the “Climber’s Loop” and led up to a place where rock climbers could practice on huge boulders.
The next day, we hiked the “Oak Canyon Trail” with our friend, Will. It was a good time of year to hike this, since there was water in the San Diego River and creeks along the way.
