52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series
6.25 miles | +1090'
From Cottonwood Canyon to the Oriflamme Mountains, the
unremitting views along this hike make it worthwhile. The northward climb of
the PCT out of the Laguna Mountains enters Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, which
covers more than 26,000 acres of oak and pine forest. Switchbacks give way to
fantastic rock formations and sun-bleached manzanitas, overshadowed only by
Oriflamme Canyon and Granite Mountain in the distance. Although this hike
parallels Sunrise Highway, traffic can be heard only at the beginning and end.
We also hiked up the hill overlooking Kwaaymii Point and Pioneer Mail Picnic
Area.
