The Alto Rey trail is fantastic for running through the mountains, technical, mountaineering and panoramic. It first passes to the right of the slate ridges that form the Peña del Mediodía (1,538 m) and descends towards the meadows of a wide and solitary hill. The journey continues up a clear path to the base of the Peña de los Rollos castle (1,737 m), which is the next summit of the mountain range. The cliffs of quartzite and quartered slate are passed on the left, although there is a route to continue directly along the summit. The path passes again to the northern slope of the mountain range and passes the summit of Peña de los Gavilanes (1,761 m) on the right. The antennas that adorn the Alto Rey mountain range are closer.

The path passes through a new hill and begins the climb to the summit of the mountain range along some rocky ramps between cliffs and small meadows hanging between the rope cliffs. The main summit of the Alto Rey mountain range (1,849 m) is not on the cliffs where the antennas have been installed, it is the previous summit, although the geodesic vertex has disappeared and only the concrete base remains. The track deviates to contemplate the panorama from the point indicated on the map with the geodesic triangle and continues to the cliffs of the antennas along a ridge of small quartzite towers. On one side of the telecommunications station is the hermitage of Santa María Reina de los Ángeles, a center of popular devotion throughout the region and the nest of a multitude of legends that have turned the Alto Rey mountain range into the “Sacred Mountain” of the Sierra Norte de Guadalajara.
