A 500-foot vertical cliff face known as San Diego's Half Dome, on the Corte Madera Mountain hike. Remote backcountry. No facilities, no cell service.
Look for the trailhead across the street from the parking area.
This is an uphill hike, but the gradient is easy for most of the way. There are some short steeper sections, but nothing too extreme.
The orange line is the out-and-back route to Corte Madera. The purple line is the optional extension to Los Pinos Mountain, easily done on the hike back down from Corte Madera.
Wear long sleeves and long pants if you have a problem with shrubs brushing against you. There are only some short sections like this, and most folks will be fine with whatever they usually wear.
There’s a small sandy parking area next to the start of the hike. There are no facilities, and no parking pass is required.
