Hike at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park (Middle Peak)

Come join the Canyoneers from the Nat at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park! Middle Peak is located in the center of three peaks in the Cuyamaca range and offers outstanding vistas. Seasonal wildflowers plus possible deer sightings make this an exceptional hike. Please no small children or dogs.

Bring lots of water since there is little shade after the 2003 Cedar fire. This is an intermediate 6-mile hike with an elevation change of 1150 feet. The hike is scheduled from 8 AM–12:30 PM. (Descanso) From I-8 E, exit at CA-79. Turn left and go 2.6 miles. Turn left to stay on CA-79 and go 10.7 miles to the Trout Pond parking area on the right (0.5 mile past Stonewall Mine turnoff). No facilities. (GPS N32.976586, W116.581380)
