El Cajon Mountain

El Cajon is a decent hike.  Not the altitude of our local mountains, but lots of up down  climb.  My AllTrails clocked 11.5 miles and 3600ft of gain.  It’s an interesting sensation – you usually climb up to the summit, high-five your hiking buddies, and make your way back DOWN to the trailhead.  With this one, you’re not done climbing once you get to the summit.  You have climbs and elevation gain on the way back as well!
