Stonewall peak

Not too far from Julian, CA is the Stonewall Peak hike. This peak is just south of Lake Cuyamaca opposite of Pasa Pichaco campground in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. This is a moderately strenuous hike with 850 ft elevation gain and is approximately four miles round trip. It is named after the Stonewall Mine located just north of the peak. The evidence of 2003 Cedar Fire is noted by the charred trees. The trail is well graded traversing through chaparral, oaks, and incense cedar to the summit of Stonewall Peak. The last section is on exposed ridge but has steps and handrails and offers great views of Lake Cuyamaca.

Enjoy the few selected pictures I took from the recent hike with some good friends.
