SUMMARY:El Cajon Mountain Hike
DESCRIPTION:Summit: 6513 ft\nDistance: 11 miles out and back\nElevation Gain: 3\,566 feet\nTime is approximately 5 to 6 hours\nDifficulty: “Very Difficult” Not a beginner hike!\nPace: Moderate. We will try to stay together as a group\, but if there is a wide range of paces\, we will split into sub-groups.\nSweep: Probably not\, so make sure you’re familiar with the trail if your pace is less than average. \nConsidered to be one of the hardest hikes in the San Diego area\, the hike through Wildcat Canyon to El Cajon Mountain features severe ascents and descents across various scenery. The trail gradually climbs towards the summit\, descending into valleys and climbing high peaks. While you hike\, take in the breathtaking surroundings. You will know you are almost at the top when you come across the deserted\, rusting jeep. From this point\, the trail gives dramatic views of El Capitan Reservoir. The trail narrows as you approach a saddle and winds through boulder fields and dense chaparral vegetation. When reaching the summit\, you are rewarded with 360-degree vistas of the surrounding peaks\, lakes\, and the far-off metropolis of San Diego. Rising above the community of El Cajon\, El Cajon Mountain is the highest point on a sizable granite block that provides sweeping views of the other peaks\, which include Mt. Gower\, Mt. Woodson\, and Iron Mountain. \nWhat to Bring:\nShoes with good traction\, hiking poles (optional)\, snack.\nBring plenty of water and be prepared for sudden weather changes. Bring layers!!!\nDogs are permitted as long as they are leashed.
