  The trail is in good condition, some sections are rocky and steep but doable. I seen a Hawk showing off her beautiful glides up on the sky. Lots of bunnies along the trail. I saw snake track on the sandy part of the trail. There many bees by the small wooden bridge. I’m not sure why they were hanging out on the wet part of the soil. The summit was pretty, lots of white butterflies and hummingbirds and could see the other beautiful mountains.

  Good local hike with well-marked, clear trails. The climb is steady but not too tough, making it a solid workout without being overwhelming. Views of Lake Hodges and the surrounding hills are the highlight, especially from the summit. Limited shade, so bring water and go early. A reliable, go-to hike for Rancho Bernardo.

  Really enjoyed this Target of Opportunity hike. Did not set out to hike it as I was not aware of it, but when hiking, and I see a sign to a peak or mountain top..."I am all in!" (Bar rescue..had to have seen episode) Will hike this again...view amazing!

  Solid hike. Started it near the piedras pinturas trailhead. Walked over the bridge and up to the summit. 7.6 miles round trip. Not too steep or hard until the mountain. Has its steep sections here and there. Beautiful views of RB and Escondido. Good for mountain biking too. Tough climb up but the downhill…. Amazing. Just careful for hikers.

  A wonderful hike during the early spring. I hike this mid day, so I would warn people to either go early morning or late afternoon. There is not a lot of canopy overhead. Some really beautiful flowers and things to look at along the hike though. I would definitely recommend this hike.
