North Fortuna Mountain Hike

The Hiking Ministry completes the Mission Trails 5-Peak Challenge with a journey to North Fortuna Mountain. It's always a fun time of fellowship and enjoying the beauty of God's creation, in the heart of the San Diego City limits!

We'll be meeting in Tierrasanta for an out-and-back hike of about 5 miles with an elevation gain of 988 feet. At 1,291 feet, North Fortuna is the third tallest of the five peaks, but features a difficult climb.

THIS HIKE IS DIFFICULT! Please self-evaluate your hiking level before attempting this hike.

You are welcome to go at your own pace, it will be your responsibility to complete the journey if you fall behind the group.

Please self-evaluate your hiking and fitness levels before attempting this journey.
