Challenging hike and good workout. Bring enough water hydrate. Its very dusty on the trail lots of dirt.

Awesome hike. Not to long and not yo steep. Wouldn’t take smaller kids probably to hard unless they are pretty active. So many different ways to the top and great views when you get to the top.

Plenty of parking on a weekday. Nice & quiet dog park with small & large sections. Follow the trail UP the mountain but bring water & a hat. Not as steep as Cowles Mt. But worth the climb. Well maintained path, not very crowded at all. Hit the road & get out!

It was hot! But we were able to do it! Love it! Also my niece found a rock for my colectionwe had fun!

A great location for a morning hike. Minus one for trail maintenance but I also recognize that its due to the high volume of traffic and people not staying on the marked path.Overall a great hike with a great view.

Great hiking area, not a lot of shade if youre hiking in the summer though

Love this park. 2 dog pins trails. Well kept softball fields.. its great..

Great place to have a wonderful dayThe trails and the bee are incredible 100% recommended !!!

I had a great experience with my loan processor Tracey Carter. Tracey took over the processing of my loan after I filled out the initial application with Adam Goodman. Tracey walked me through the process from the beginning to the end. On the day the Notary showed up so my wife and I could sign our final papers there was a couple of minor mistakes with my wife’s name but I called Tracey and she was able to get a correction on my wife’s name so, we could finish the process. Thank’s again Tracey for all of your hard work.

Like taking this hike just make sure its on one of those off days. Parking was full on the street. Went on a Sunday morning, so did everyone else. Came down the back way much less crowded and adds about 1 1/2 to 2 miles more.

First time there. Reached the summit at night and the view was amazing. I recommend this to anyone thinking of going there.

Easy hike. About 3.5 miles total when I hike it, however its supposed to be 4.3 miles if you follow the right path.

The perfect level of difficulty. I love the feeling of accomplishment when I finish. The views are gorgeous.

Mother Miguel trail looking East. Beautiful hike but go early and pack lots of water when its warm, this trail has little to no shade.

Less crowded trail. Ample parking. Dog owners pickup your own dog droppings !

Lots of room, grass, and shade for dogs to play. People and their dogs are friendly.

Great Softball Fields ️

You’ll appreciate the walk to the top. Nice views and you can take a picture on top of the rock like with the flag.

Small dog park..but nicely maintained. No water for dogs.

Great brisk walk up the mountain. Not good for pets because there is a lot of prickly stems that get on their paws. Other than that there is plenty of parking and there is a beautiful view. If you are looking for a good hike where you will not have to wait on crowds and lines. This is a great place.

Great mountain for an easy hike.

Great outdoor park with plenty of spaces for picnics and outdoor activities. Bring the whole family. Nestled right next to rockhouse trails you can even go for a nice nature walk. Bring your dogs ON A LEASH. watch a baseball /softball game and enjoy the outdoor space! Nicely maintained. Respect it dont neglect it.

This was a great trail system in San Diego. It gave us gorgeous views of the city and the ocean.

Good hike, about as long and steep as Cowles Mtn. But too many people without masks on weekends. I counted 60 cars last Sunday morning. And little shade is available.

Best place to vibe in East Chula Vista. Keep an eye out for snakes because Ive seen one every time Im here. Beautiful views of San Diego

Wasnt crazy hard but not a cakewalk either. Views are excellent. Perfect family hike.

Good hike -Great workout

Nice hike, very breezy and cool. Fine sand on the path

Really nice hike def recommend of youre looking for a great workout

Very nice walk and view.

Beautiful park. Multiple softball fields.

Its a great place for families including their dogs to be together and enjoy each others company, play a sport, get some sun, run the jogging trail, walk, hike or bike the many trails outside the park. There is even a dog park!After all that stuff you can have a family picnic as there are grassy areas and some covered picnic tables.During sporting events, there is a snack bar.Bathrooms are reasonably close and clean.There is ample parking both in the park and on the street. People stage here for trail running, walking, hiking and mountain biking as the trails are extensive.My opinion regarding the dog park. It needs shade trees. It does get warm and sunny here. If you are bringing your pet, morning or late evenings are best. Otherwise plan to provide shade for your pets if you are going to do family stuff.

Satisfaction when reach the top to see the American flag blowing. Beautiful view.

Short hike to great views.

Amazing place to hike with the family. Dogs on leashes are also ok.

Great little hike to do with family and friends not so hard as some of the other ones around San Diego

The only reason they lose a star in my opinion has to do with the new trail. Its not challenging anymore. But its great for beginners that want to start hiking.

Always a fun hike in the morning or late afternoon. Great for any hiking experience. You feel accomplished!

My review is for the dog park. Its smaller than some but wonderful. Its in a quiet residential area and the people at the park were all very friendly. The dogs were ask very well behaved too. Its very clean, enclosed small and large dog sides, and benches for the humans. There is also a water fountain for dogs and humans too. There are no poop bag though so please bring your own.

I completed the hike with my daughter who said, if we complete it we can take a selfish. #iwantedaselfie #motherdaughter

Breathtaking and moderately difficult

Nice trails. Easy walk

Good for an easy trail for hike, trail run or bike

Skip Cowles- this is South Bay version of Cowles. Mother Miguel is a local version of Cowles-- same distance and elevation, but with better views on top and larger parking on the bottom. Skip the crowds at MTRP, and hike Mother Miguel instead. The trail is also doable on a MTB, but decent climbing skills are required.

Easy hike. Clean.

Great place to access local mountain bike trails

Beautiful park for familiy gatherings and theres a dog park!

Very nice & clean multi use open space park. The area is landscaped in native flora. There are paved sidewalks good for walking, riding, running a lap or two. Many visitors had their dog on leash. There is a concessionbstand with restrooms.

Great park. Fields need some work, good grilling areas with canopies

Great short work out....But too crowded, and people is not wearing masks, so if u care about Covid, dont come here.

Fairly easy hike. Plan a few hours to go up and come down, especially in the warmer months when temps can easily reach the high 70s or low 80s by late morning.Its dusty, exposed to the sun and somewat steep at points so bring water and a brimmed hat.

We came here for a softball tournament and it was nice!! Except there are no doors or coverings in the public restrooms?!?!?!?!You basically just have to do your business right there in front of everyone that walks in, which in my case was a mother and a few small children who didnt know it isnt polite to STARE at someone peeing....so I had a little audience!

Great trail for biking and hiking. The sunset is spectacular.

This is a really well maintained park that has access to Mother Miguel Mountain if youre into hiking. The only con is that the bathrooms dont have doors on the stalls but I guess that encourages people to make good choices and not vandalize.

Epic view, fun trail

Awesome trail! They just re-routed the trail so people don’t use the overused super steep middle. Great views and great workout. Very serene. Not overcrowded.

Perfect hike with family

Run it! Great work out with a view of the ocean as your reward.

Needs more lighting at night and police need to be present to make sure people pick up their trash. Especially because people who dont live near by trash it.

Great view!

Excellent hike, and the park has a great dog park for small dogs. It is a beautiful park.

Great view

Love this place. Favorite hike is Rockhouse. Very clean. Not much cover/shade, so bring water on a hot day.

Nice playground, seems like adults can join in on the playground, they are kind of high. The baseball/softball fields are well kept. Nice place.

Nice longer hike gradual incline

Great challenge for those who like to workout in the outdoors.

Many semi flat and uphill trails to enjoy! This trail connects with Sweetwater park and up to all the awesome hills around. You can get a really nice work out here

This 1st timer loved it

Next to no shade so come prepared. At least they finally fixed the water fountains so they work again. The baseball fields are ok and its nice they have a concessions stand. Parking can be tough during the weekends.

Great park n hike

Moderate hike with a spectacular view at the top.

Beautiful views

Nice work out

Excellent service,great atmosphere,outstanding food.Only downside is limited parking,however their is a lower parking lot and the walk is not far.

San Miguel Ranch is a great place to hike, run, ride your bike, play ball or walk your dog. You will love the views!!!

Its beautiful, especially when you see the sunset

Easy parking, (uncovered) playground for kids, nice baseball fields, area to grill, and very clean.

Goos place the walk up a good hill. Its close to my home too.

Great play area and fields very clean

Great place to play softball.

Fairly new park so the playground, baseball fields, and tennis court are in very good condition. I hope they last

This rating is based on softball field experience only. The fields are nice and generally well-maintained. However, there is not much shade or covered dugouts so if youre going to be here all day bring your own shade. There is also space for a concession stand, but its not always open. Bring your own water and snacks.

Such a fun park. Walk to the toilets is okay, but a bit far when you have kids or a party

Great park. The shade is lacking though, as there are only small trees and a couple of structures. Still, good for hiking, running, baseball, playground, etc.Sometimes gets a little messy after a busy weekend.

Great place for softball!!!New Hope Community Church is playing softball here for anyone who is interested!!!

Nice 2.2 mile hike from the park to Rockhouse.

It was an extremely good climb. Its not to hard though.

Great Trails, Awesome Views...

Love the view...!

Clean and huge park. With basketball court, playground, public restrooms, baseball fields. Good neighborhood, no homeless in area.

Beautiful and nice view

Well kept park for fitness, sports, bbq and family time.

Very maintained. Super pet friendly

Great hike!

Great place to go hiking

It smelled like pee but was nice and clean

Love this hike trail. Family friendly.

I dont hate the place its hot!

Mount San Miguel Rockhouse

I use it for the dog park when my dogs when Im in the mood to be around fewer dogs. Big and little dog areas. Trails nearby. Great park.
