Trail Overview

This is a pretty mellow 2-track road leading to the top of Tecate Peak. The lower part of the trail is a grave road. If there has been a lot of rain, expect ruts! There are some small rocks and chunky sections but nothing really difficult. There are some tight switchbacks to negotiate and you can expect some exposure and steep drop-offs. But the views at the top are worth it!

Difficulty

It's an easy road overall, but the steep drop-offs and potential for loose rock and ruts mean you need to pay attention.
