On Friday, August 1st 2025 we hiked Cerro San Luis from the Laguna Dog Park.  When we arrived at 8:30 AM, the lot was pretty full of cars, many belonging to dog owners.  They have a great restroom facility on site, but like the ones along the highway, it was closed.  We also had to climb over a very substantial gate across this popular public use trail.  

​

We hiked 4.6 miles in three hours.  Max elevation was 1254 feet.  Elevation Change 1135 feet. Total of UP waypoints 1200 feet.  We were passed on the way up by a rank of fire fighters carrying 50 pound ruck sacks.  This was clearly a "forced march". We were also passed by a group of Madonna Guest horses.   Most importantly, a good time was had by all.  Don't forget you can enlarge the pictures on a mobile device by touching and spreading your fingers.

Thanks to Barb as usual for all the great pictures.  PS for Lorraine: Notice on the northerly oriented satellite view below, the trees are on the North side of the hill.
