El Cajon Mountain

3 take aways from this hike; and then some:
- The all trails map says this trail is closed, it is not. The gate allows people to park there and plenty of hikers on the trail.
- A lot of hills before the summit, which means when descend you still have to climb back over these hills so save your energy.
- Some of the trail is washed out. So the dirty is a bit slippery, one of our friends slipped and scrapped his knee. He was fine, but we just had to be careful going slow.
Extra notes:
- I started at 1045am, summited at 1:30pm and finished at 4:30pm
- social distancing 😉
- bring sunscreen because there isn’t much shade
Edit: Today, as of March 24th, I read that most if not all parks are now closed. I am pressing pause on my hikes and #stayingathome
