Cowles Mountain hike features a busy but not easy trail. Some parts of the hike are wide and clear while others are little more than a rutted out wash with several steep and rocky passages that require tall steps and careful foot placement. Most people will have to stop to catch their breath a few times before reaching the summit. Once there you cannot help but marvel at the wonderful panoramic view which allows one to see the ocean all the way from Tijuana to Carlsbad! Enjoy the hike, the sites and people-watching on this well used and always busy trail. Plan on spending about one hour for the complete hike.
