Volcan Mountain Foundation

Join County Park & Rec Staff for a fall hike on scenic Volcan Mountain. Take in the panoramic views while hiking the Five Oaks Trail of the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of Julian, where on a clear day you can see the buildings in downtown San Diego and islands off the coast of Mexico and Southern California. From the summit, you can enjoy an incredible view of San Felipe Valley and the desert. This hike will include an elevation gain of approximately 1000 feet in two miles, with a total distance of about 5 1/2 miles.

Please dress in layers as the temperature can change dramatically at the summit. Wear sturdy hiking shoes and carry plenty of water. Bring a snack or lunch for the summit. Inclement weather will cancel the event. Meet at 10am at the Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve-Hubbell Gateway trail head on Farmer Road.  The interpretive program is open to all ages and is free to the public.  For more information on this San Diego County Parks & Rec event, please contact the local staff office at 760-765-4098.
