This is a wonderful part for all our family. I normally play with my family softball and they do have several leads that you can play with. And Im only open during the week and also they have different schedules for the game so if you want to get involved in one. Other than that is a beautiful place to just come and pass the day, picnic, running, walking, walking your dog of course in a leash as well as their small park on the side where you can actually have your dog without the leash. all in all my son and I and my family enjoy this park especially for the closest of the mountain that he usually hikes all the time.

Pretty nice, sweet short hike. You can either go the very steep route and save time or follow the normal path and have a chill, longer hike. Youll definitely get your shoes very dusty though so at least wear socks that will cover your ankles, otherwise youll be scrubbing for a while in the shower.

Amazing hike in Chula Vista. Lovely views of down town SAN Diego and the Pacific Ocean. Moderate traffic on a Sunday at 9am. Lots of switchbacks, rocks on the trail, wear good shoes. Medium difficulty.

This trail used to be less well known. Now it seems that it gets as much traffic as the other mountain trails in the SD area. The earlier you go, the better. By 8 am expect crowds.

Eastlake Area accessible trail. Plenty parking.

Nice little hike to get your 10K steps in for the day. If you hike 100 yards past the Rock Pile summit that has the flag, there is an even better view point!

A good 1.6 mile hike that has about 900 feet of elevation change.

If you have never tried it, let me introduce you to Chula Vistas 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 dont want to run the suspense... But lets 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!!!

Great hike for the whole family. It will make you sweat but our kids ran ahead almost the entire time! We saw one person biking up! There are no steep drops so this is a great trail for little kids. The trail took us three hours to complete, however we did take a wrong path to the other car park and back since there are several directions to take after you leave the car park.See carefully my photos to see what the beginning of the trail looks like. Do not follow the largest road since that takes you to the other car park! For clues look where the other people are on the mountain and go towards that path :)Be warned, It was very very windy today in January and a good jumper/coat is warranted or even ear muffs.

Great spot to hike with the family. Amazing views of South San Diego. We went in the late afternoon so it was not too hot. If you go during midday be sure to bring lots of water and wear sunblock. Dogs are OK as long as they are on a leash. Please be respectful to mountain bikers who share the trail with you.

The park is nice and clean. Love the views from the playground area.

Great scenery the whole way. At 4.5 miles total it was moderate difficulty; the beginning steep and definitely got the heart rate up but then the rest was not bad. Although going back down was slippery and not as easy as anticipated so be careful. The rock pile at the top was cool to see and take pictures of, and two bodies of water could be seen from the top. Dogs are allowed, which was nice, and there were other people, but it wasnt too crowded. We went around 6ish and the weather was perfect, but we still brought plenty of water.

Review №24

Its 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 havent 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 dont 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!

Great hike! Clean! The path you take to get to the trailhead isn’t labeled, so that’s a bit confusing. But once you reach the trailhead everything is labeled super clearly! We saw dogs, bikes, horses, and kids! Our dog loved it! FYI- NO SHADE! Like, at all! Other than that, no issues and we enjoyed it! Took us about 45 minutes to get to the top. We aren’t the fastest or the slowest. I would say moderately challenging!

Review №33

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!

Pretty good hike. Its an in and out trail generally. Technically you can extend it through Sweetwater but few do. The view is nice at the top. Note its been getting more popular, so come early or late. Make sure to stay on trail and not trailblaze.Beside the view at the top, there isnt much vegetation or interesting wildlife. Id consider it a solid hike and can be knocked out in about an hour.

Hot and dry, take lots of water. False advertising at the bottom....no matter how hard I tried I could not find a rattlesnake despite the warnings they are active. Poked around rocks and bushes for four hours, nothing! That sign needs to be removed.
