I know Viejas Mountain is located outside of the Anza Borrego Desert but thought everyone would be interested in this hike.
We are planning on hiking to the top of Mount Whitney in September so this was the first of our training hikes.

While the distance is relatively short I would rate this as a moderately difficult hike due to the quick elevation gain and the loose rocks on the narrow trail. The peak tops out at 4189 feet and once at the top you are treated to spectacular 360' views.

We reached the summit in a little over an hour with a watchful eye on the incoming rain clouds.
Here are some of the trip pictures smile
