Beautiful place but the worst hike I've been on in over a year. The flies were so bad they made it a miserable hike to the peak...
The Los coyotes tribe is very nice, they did a great job hosting the ragnar trail this past year. Minus one star for no cell service.
This hike is beautiful and gruelling. Very hot and has fly swarms for the entire hike. The same shade you use has triple the insect count of nonshaded areas. Be prepared bring extra water. $10 to get on the reservation.
Absolutely stunningly gorgeous! I own classic Ford Broncos and myself and my crew went for a ride to the very top. There are hot springs, campgrounds and endless trails for all levels of skill. Both for off-road vehicles and for hiking. I was very pleasantly surprised at the lack of human destruction and litter. Very clean. Amazing views including being able to see the Salton Sea from the top. Such a great place that we all plan to go again very soon. I also learned that it is the highest peak in San Diego county. As we climbed the mountain, we found ourselves in snow! Yet another pleasant surprise! Highly recommended to those who love nature and won't destroy it. Absolutely beautiful!
Los Coyotes was a memory saver (life saver) when I decided month of I wanted to go camping memorial day weekend. If you know how that goes you know you need to book something months in advance or succumb to first come first serves. Luckily I came across Los Coyotes reservation and then it was a matter of do they allow pets. THEY DO!! For no extra cost at that. We stayed on the more "primitive" side that was close to the hiking entrance they have. Sites aren't labeled so you kinda just set up shop where you fit in at. Weirdly we almost had the grounds to ourselves which was so nice considering it a holiday weekend. It was a little rough for the "bring your own water" but we managed! There's a store not too far to grab some more gallons if needed. Bathrooms are port a potties but they were really clean and a sink was provided. Their website said "strictly no fires" so it was a treat upon hearing at check in that some sites do gave a fire ring and that they have dead wood that we can burn. Bring gloves to carry cause they can be crawling with ants that bite. Other reviews mentioned pesky flies and they were a bit bothersome but that's just being out in nature. Overall can't wait to go back!!
