Cuyamaca Peak

I paid a visit to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, located in eastern San Diego County, on the fringe of the Laguna Mountain Wilderness. If you're looking to get away from it all in the wilderness, the trails along Hwy 79 here are some of the least trafficked in the county. My goal was to climb to Cuyamaca Peak (Elev 6512 ft), one of the highest peaks in San Diego County. This peak is listed on the Sierra Club’s Hundred Peaks List, in the San Diego Section.

Hiking through Historic Daley Ranch To Stanley Peak on the Sage Trail Loop (6.4 miles)

Stanley Peak Loop This hike climbs to a peak, at just 1985 feet. It has just over 1000 feet of gain. The hike is 6.3 miles long, and is an advanced beginner level hike. The trail is wide and well maintained.
