ラグーナ山地のおすすめランニングルート

The paths around Sweetwater Reservoir are primarily well-worn dirt, with most junctions clearly signed, though some of the less frequented routes can become overgrown. As you near San Miguel Mountain, the terrain becomes increasingly rugged and challenging, while open views of the reservoir and surrounding hills remain a constant backdrop.

The Sweetwater River Trail is an 8-mile loop trail that runs along both sides of the river. The trail has some elevation gain, but this gives you nice views of the nearby mountains.

Goodan Ranch has a rich history; the area was once inhabited by the Kumeyaay Indians and then served as a working ranch. Today, the preserve is a popular destination for hiking and mountain biking. The Goodan Ranch Sycamore Canyon Preserve features diverse scenery and habitats, like mixed sage scrub, chaparral-covered hills, open grasslands, and riparian creekside areas.

This trailhead leads you up the Rock House Trail to Mother Miguel Mountain. It is a straightforward trail and one of the few in the area with some elevation gain.

This Grove of oak trees survived a big cedar fire in 2003. The Grove is dedicated as a memorial to Martha Harville, a park ranger who died at 31 years of age in 1988.

This is the starting point for the Sycamore Canyon Preserve and Martha's Grove Trail. The Sycamore Canyon Preserve holds over 10 miles (16.09 kilometers) of trails through groves and grasslands.

This Junction between Otay Mountain Truck Trail intersects and Minnewawa Truck Trail offers a great place to pause and admire the view. There is also a trail leading to the Doghouse Junction Summit at this point.

3,568 foot Otay Mountain is a challenging climb with a great payoff. Reaching the top, you can view the Chula Vista area, surrounding peaks, and the border with Tijuana.
