Mission Trails Regional Park is known for its five peaks:
Cowles Mountain, Pyles Peak, Kwaay Pay, North Fortuna, and South Fortuna. All
are easily accessible and doable for beginner to intermediate hikers, which
adds to their allure. South Fortuna is far less crowded than its popular
counterpart Cowles Mountain but is equally as challenging and twice the length.
The “Stairway to Heaven” is an extra draw to this hike—a set of wooden steps
that wind up the peak’s western flank. On this hike I took a new route from the far west side of the park, went up and over the summit, then descended the saddle between South and North Fortuna Mountains to make a loop back to the trail head.
