Volcan Mountain

After hiking Cuyamaca, I decided to go for Volcan since it was on the way home. I wouldn’t consider this climb “easy” even though it’s the first one listed in the Six-Peaks Challenge. The incline was steady with maybe a small stretch of level ground. The terrain has loose gravel, you need to watch your step especially going downhill. Some of the trail was covered with shade from the tall trees that line the ridges, I welcomed that. The last push up the summit was on a nice hill which provided some nice views on either side of the trail.
