Trail Map of El Cajon Peak

Difficult: 11.8 miles, Half day

Overview: This is an out and back hike of 11+ miles with a nice side trip to the El Capitan cliff area if you've still haven't had enough (14 miles with the side trip).  There are some nice views and some interesting points along the trail including an old mine shaft and what looks like either an old military or fire vehicle.

Tips: This is a big hike with a lot of ups and down including some steep sections.  Take plenty of water as normally it is very arid and hot in this area.
