South Clevenger Trail Guide

Clevenger Canyon is home to the rare Engelmann Oak , found primarily in San Diego County’s hill country. This oak’s range once extended into Arizona but today is confined to San Diego / Northern Baja because of climate change. Fire damage from the 2018 Pas

Head through the gate to start the hike.

The trail starts a short way up from the parking area.

From the start you’ll climb up the ridge, and then wind around to the left where the ridge ends at Peak 1635.

Here’s the one-way profile to the top. It’s a steady climb to the high point by Peak 1755, then you’ll follow the ridge to the chairs and Peak 1635.

There’s a small parking area on the south side of the road.
