Tips

Running

Standing 2,567 feet high, Mother Miguel Mountain is a popular hiking destination in the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge. Because the trail is a bit steeper and rockier at the top, there are usually fewer people on the summit than on the actual trail. You know you're at the top once you see the giant rock pile. You'll get great views of other peaks in the area and Sweetwater Reservoir from up here.

Mountain biking

Welcome to the summit of Mother Miguel Mountain. A popular picture motive is the pile of rocks that was first put together in 1890. Today the so called Rockhouse anchors an American flag. Take a picture and enjoy the fantastic view from the top of Mother Miguel Mountain.
