My Top Ten San Diego Hikes: #6, El Capitan Open Space Reserve

First, let me start the post with a review of My Top Ten San Diego Hikes:

#10 - Lake Hodges

#9- Palomar Mountain State Park

#8 - Cuyamaca Rancho State Park 

#7 - Anza Borrego Desert State Park
Now, moving on to the number 6 in my list, which is El Capitan Open Space Reserve

@ El Cajon Summit, El Capitan Open Space Reserve

Why I Like this Hike:

1. Not too far from downtown San Diego ( 26 miles North East), yet it feels tucked away from civilization.

2. A very good training ground for major day hikes, being one of the longer day hikes in San Diego ( 10 miles round trip, 4000 ft change in elevation )

3. Nice views of surrounding mountains, almost a 360 degrees of mountains at the summit.
