My Mom and I had been wanting to do this trail for the longest time, and to start of the new year we finally did it! Not long afterwards, we discovered the Six Pack of Peaks Challenge and decided to sign up. Looks like we already got the hard part out of the way!

We picked a sunny day in the high 60s for this hike. Around mile 4 on the way up, there’s a lovely little stream running through the trail, and we even saw a frog! We enjoyed a delicious sandwich for lunch with a view of the ocean in the distance.

This hike was by no means easy, and we experienced the full spectrum of emotions on this trip lol. But it was completely doable! El Cajon mountain was a great next step for us after doing all 5 Peaks at Mission Trails.
