A great hike with amazing scenery and views. Started at 6:30 am. A little cloudy but not too bad. Perfect hiking conditions. About 55 degrees. Started up dirt road and a little ways in cut over to the 5 oaks trail. I recommend going this way. Trail is narrower through here but not bad. You climb through a mostly shaded area. Oaks all around you. Views of San Diego area. As you meet back up with main trail to the top it turns from trees I to grass fields. Trail is much easier at this point. Not much climbing g from here. Closer to the top you turn to the summit and on the east side is the desert. You can see the Salton sea and much of anza borrego desert. At the summit there is a light tower and a picnic table. Behind the picnic table is a short trail to the rick on the summit. There is a marker in top of that rock. Great moderate hike.
