Beautiful

Hiked this beast today.. Tried to find this trail but failed.. ended up finding the dirt roads on the complete other side of the mountain. Complete fail on our end but made for a pretty epic treck through the brush. Awesome hike.

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

Yeah it is a neat hike, don't know why they closed the trail.

As a kid who lived in Lemon Grove, I always thought that was an oil field at the top of that mountain

My name is Lynette: Thank you for sharing!

[@jacquelinegarcia590]

What is the name of the trail on the AllTrails app? I can't find it. I only see the one that's closed down starting at Chula Vista.

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

Yeah they closed this down, it is called San Miguel Mountain Trail on AllTrails. It is too bad too, it is a really neat climb. Last time I was there there was a bunch of No Trespassing signs.

[@jacquelinegarcia590]

@@johnnyringohikingadventures that sucks! 😞 😩 Thank you!

[@jacquelinegarcia590]

Is that trail still legal? To go through Campo Rd? I've been wanting to do this one!!!

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

I haven't hiked it in awhile, last time I did there were signs saying it was closed right before the ascent. It is too bad, it is such a neat view of San Diego.

@@johnnyringohikingadventures oh my 😩 I'll check it out over the weekend and will let you know if it's open. Thanks 😊

This will be my zombie apocalypse route we shall meet here!

[@j_a_c_0191]

I always see that mountain from my house

[@Random_How-tos]

Is the route that you took the legal way to do it because I’m definitely interested in going.

[@brianthelifter6171]

Thanks for the video brother.

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

No problem 👍

[@cindym.2384]

I use to hike this when it was accessible from butterfly ln. it was an amazing trail while it lasted.

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

Yeah what a shame, really neat hike

@@johnnyringohikingadventures When I was 16, my friend, my brother, and I hopped the fence and walked up the paved service road at night to the top. Much easier than the first time we tried to walk through the chaparral at night. We were at the top, full moon, looking down on the cloud bank lit up by the moon - the most amazing thing I have ever seen to this day. Thank you for the memories Sir.

[@menace2mpls]

I’ve wanted to do this one but everything I’ve read indicated it was off limits/not legal. I heard game wardens issued people $300 trespassing fines for hiking this mountain. Is there a legit trail on AllTrails for this one?

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

Unfortunately it is illegal now, when we climbed it there were no signs and no one said anything. The last time I was there there were signs and warnings. It is too bad, this is a really neat hike close to San Diego.

[@brianthelifter6171]

Is this in San Diego?

[@johnnyringohikingadventures]

It is San Diego, unfortunately they closed the trail, think it is due to the type of communication facilities at the top
