Trail Overview

This route goes up and over Otay Mtn with sweeping views over the San Ysidro Mountains and a little bit of San Diego in the distance. The road is made up entirely of dirt and gravel and stays relatively even throughout. This is a great trail on hazy/foggy days as it is well above the marine layer, revealing the sunshine above. Border patrol agents frequently pass by, and the mountain gets busy on weekends. There are mirrors set above tight corners, making it easy to see whether anyone is coming and avoid collisions.

The main trail is your average flat gravel road, there are some off chutes both at the beginning headed up from Jamul and headed back to the other side
