Access this fire road from Paso Pichaco campground as it winds to the west/southwest. This is a fairly tough trail as it has a sustained grade right around 10% with little to no shade.<br><br>Plan accordingly and bring lots of water and sun protection.
Heading up the road.
Lake Cuyamaca looks utterly gorgeous from the flank of Cuyamaca Peak.
The view north from Cuyamaca Peak was cloudy and beautiful on a day in January 2017.
