Mother Miguel Mountain Trailhead

Very dusty and has different switchbacks. Some areas of the trail are susceptible to erosion so it is really important to stay on the trails and not step over the barriers designated by rocks. Thanks for staying on the trail!

A good workout to the top. A great view!

It's a great place to meet friends or make new ones. It is moderately to very strenuous.
There are bathrooms and water at the park at the bottom.
Do not forget to take at least 2- 16 oz bottles of water, if you haven't done this before.
There are at least 3 false summits. It gets really hot while climbing. Take breaks. If you feel dizzy or tingly, Stop, Tell someone, Drink water and Rest. When you feel better, go back. There are amazing views all along the trail, so you don't have to go all the way to the summit to see amazing things. Work up to it, make that your future goal.
Pace yourself. Have fun!

Nice well marked trail. Good hill to go up. Watch out for rocks bring water. We went at 7 am we finished around 8:30. 2.5 miles we will be back.

If you have never tried it, let me introduce you to Chula Vista's own butt-kicking mountain trail! The picture is when you go left from the start (smooth, perfect for a short nature walk). The real mountain trail is quiet different. I don't want to run the suspense... But let's just say that it is steep for the majority of the hike. Hiking shoes or runners with good grip is a must. ???? But once you reach the top, the view is breath taking!!!
