This overlook on the trail offers a cool bird's eye view of the Old Mission Dam. You can tell just how wide the structure spans when you get this higher perspective.

It is a lie that it is a hiking for beginners. The route is already marked, to reach the top, the floor is not completely level. If you have knee problems, abstain. Since the hills are steep and the return could cause injury. Don't expect the potato chip photo to be easy; It has a large and dangerous crack that if you are not in the right condition it will be very difficult to climb up to take the photograph. The stones are smooth so you must have hiking shoes. Six km in total, two hours of closed route. Refrain from going in summer or after 12 pm, as there is little shade.

The Old Mission Dam is part of San Diego’s Mission Trails Regional Park located on the Father Junípero Serra Trail.

The Spanish colonists solved the water shortage problem by building what is likely the first major colonial irrigation-engineering project on the Pacific Coast.
