Foster Point offers a great view out over Anza-Borrego and some surrounding peaks. It's a fairly quick summit, compared to some other nearby peaks, so some like to include it in a longer hike. On its own, summiting Forster Point is also a great option to have a kid or dog friendly summit with awesome views.

Garnet Peak is a popular 6000-foot peak that has sprawling views of the nearby forest and stretching out into the Anza-Borrego Desert area. It is a cool contrast in landscapes, and the hike up to the summit is straightforward and slightly inclined. It is one of the more popular peaks in the area, so be prepared to see other hikers on your way up.

To reach the summit, you'll encounter a somewhat demanding but steady incline, although it's not overly challenging. As you near the highest point of the peak, you'll come across a beacon tower constructed in the 1920s as part of the air mail system. The views from here are absolutely stunning, and there are several viewpoints nearby where you can enjoy the scenery.

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.
