Big Laguna Lake Loop

07/27/22

I have hiked this trail or portions of it in all seasons. Summer does get really hot on the exposed portions of the trail, so not highly recommended in summer unless an extra early start is possible. Trail is mostly flat. Start/park at Penny Pines Trailhead. Cross the road and begin trail on Noble Canyon. Follow trails south leading to and around Big Laguna Lake. The lake will have water in it most of the year as rainfall allows. Not swimmable. Grassy banks. Lots of birds, frogs, snakes, etc. This is a busy trail for both mountain bikers, hikers and horses, so hike aware and with courtesy. This year we hiked after a snowfall. It was gorgeous!

Night Shoot at Mt. Laguna USAF Station

This is a great stop when passing through the Anza Borrego Desert. The drive is very scenic, and passes through Sunrise Highway.

There is a service gate that you can't drive through, but its a very short walk to the antennas. Once you're up there, enjoy the views and break out you...

This peak is one of the tallest in the county. Reaching the summit of the peak takes you to an elevation of 6500'. Although this peak isn't as challenging as others nearby, it's located in the center of San Diego, which offers up amazing views, which is the main reason to take this hike. The best views can be had during the fall, winter, and spring months, particularly after a storm. This way t...
