Looking down the backside of the mountain on Ellie Lane Trail
There are a few really popular trails in San Diego, Torrey Pines, Cowles Mountain, Mt Woodson, and Iron Mountain. While I like the Iron Mountain Hike, if you want a little more challenge and or would like to get away from the mass’s for awhile, taking the Ellie Lane Loop up to the top of Iron Mountain gives you a different feel to the hike. Hiking up through several boulder strewn canyons on your way to the backside of the mountain is a nice change of pace from the main trail to the top of Iron Mountain. If your looking for another hike that’s close to San Diego you can’t go wrong with this one.
