The Old West–style Iron Mountain sign you walk under as you start your trek.

Why We Love It

This is a challenging but well-maintained trail with spectacular views of the whole county from the top.

Where to Refuel

Go for hearty quinoa bowls or vegan French toast at GreensPlease (12202 Poway Road, Poway), and smoothies, cold brew coffee, or ginger beer on tap.
