El Cajon Mountain

I had wanted to hike Kay Benchmark out in Anza-Borrego, but my hiking partner hurt his foot, so I decided to finish the San Diego

5/4/2025. Overcast. Cool temp. Finished in under 3.5 hours.

Started the hike at 7:30 in the morning. Passed by a couple different hiking groups and many trail runners. Challenging hike due to rolling hills

Reached the parking spot by 5.30, parked my car roadside and started my hike around 5.45 in the morning. This was the first time, i

I did a solo hike. I started at 6:00 a.m. and parked alongside the 67 road. Make sure to bring extra water in hot weather.
