Hike #43 Cowles Mountain

52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series

3.75 miles | +900'



I wasn't planning on hiking during this heat wave but my sister wanted to get out early to summit Cowles Mountain. By the time we reached the peak it was already starting to heat up.

At the summit I was able to point out to her all the other peaks off in the distance that I've hiked. Beside all the other folks out on San Diego's most popular trail, we saw rabbits, squirrels, humming birds, and a covey of quail that came right up to us as we sat in the shade.

I told her that if she wants to see more wildlife and less people, then we'll need to hike the four other peaks around Mission Trails Regional Park... but perhaps on a cooler day.
