9.5 miles | +780'
Across the road from a sprawling strip mall in Rancho San
Diego lies a hidden gem of San Diego Hiking. The San Diego National Wildlife
Refuge encompasses the majority of San Miguel Mountain (aka Mount Miguel, Mount
San Miguel, etc) and surrounding areas. The Sweetwater River runs along the
northwestern edge of the Refuge which provides riparian as well as coastal
scrub habitat for a number of threatened and endangered species. This is a hike
that provides a surprising amount of quiet solitude considering how close it is
to civilization.
