Candy Store Hike

The trailhead is located on SR 74 right next to the Ortega Oaks Candy Store.  The parking lot is located across the street from the candy store and requires an adventure pass. For this hike, you need to cross the street and head towards the Bear Canyon Trailhead. For the most part this is an easy hike with the last mile hike up to the peak being most challenging part. Trail is well maintained and clearly marked. From the top you can enjoy 360 views but we were there just long enough to take couple photos as cold winds were blowing hard. We met other Six Pack of Peaks Challengers, Lara and Jim, who also were checking of the 1st hike of their list on the 1st day of the year. Get out and hike!
