3 hikes. 1 weekend

We went to Cuyamaca over the weekend of February 13-15. My boyfriend and I were trying to make an effort to wake up and watch the sunrise at the top of Stonewall Peak or Cuyamaca Peak. I had only watched the sunrise one other time in my life when I was 14 in Mexico. We had just got done building houses for some of the families from the local churches- it was one of most memorable experiences I’ve had.

Stonewall Peak is a 4 mile hike that has short switchbacks running along the backside of the mountain. Its a fairly easy hike with a huge reward at the top. Once you come to the base of the peak, you climb up about 2 flights of stairs with a handrail. At the top, 3 views will have a viewpoint description of what you’re looking at. Anza-borrego desert, Point Loma, and Mexico are all visible on a clear day. 3 hikes. 1 weekend

My boyfriend and I woke up around 5:30am Saturday morning. With a few beers and some water in hand, we power walked all the way up to the top. We didn’t manage to see the sunrise at the top but we were the first ones up there for the day and the view was absolutely amazing. As I cracked open my celebratory beer at the top and looked at the young sky, I remembered it was Valentines Day which made the moment even better! Continue reading →

Cuyamaca Stonewall Peak Hike

We had the pleasure of hiking Stonewall Peak, across the street from Cuyamaca’s Paso Picacho, 2 weeks ago and it was amazing!! With the fresh snow on the ground from the recent storm, it made the scenery absolutely gorgeous! At this time, its my favorite hiking spot!! Continue reading →

This weekend we did an impromptu camping trip to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park at Paso Picacho. San Diego’s mountains were hit with a good amount of snow last week so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity! Unfortunately, we under-estimated how much snow might be there! It’s 5,000 feet elevation so you can only imagine! We got there around 8:30 PM and the grounds were covered- if we drove my little Huyndai, we wouldn’t have been able to get into the spots because snow was piled so high!

Spotting Deer

While hiking Stonewall Peak at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park this weekend, we had a run in with about 13 deer! I was rounding a bend by myself when I saw about 13 of them about 30 feet away! It startled me at first but then I was blown away at how beautiful and big they are! The video is shakey at first but then gets better! I didn’t catch all of them on film.

Happy Animal Spotting!

I Heart Cuyamaca

This last camping trip we had was probably the most fun so far! We got up to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in eastern San Diego and it gorgeous! Patches of snow were everywhere- my first time camping with snow- and we conquered Stonewall Peak trail! Once you reach the top, you can see a 360 degree panoramic view of Continue reading →
