Ascending Otay Mountain

Description

Hiking up Otay Mountain in San Diego September 2010.
-
Otay is a 3500 foot mountain near the Mexican Border in South San Diego. There is a dirt road or truck trail that the border patrol uses to patrol the area. It goes from the west side of the mountain, over the summit and down the east side. We were hiking up the west side.
-
Underneath all that fog is a State Penetentiary, county jail, juvenile detention, a customs detention facility, and miles of urban sprawl. Odd how in the south county there is a fairly sharp line between urban and wild areas.
-
The hike is an ascent of about 2800 feet over the course 7.34 miles. We didn,t quite make the top. Stopped about 3/4 mile short. Running out of time and energy.

That is Kim and Karen in the left hand corner.
