The best view without a hike in east county! It’s about a 10 minute drive up to the top, with limited parking. Or, you can park at the lot by the fire station on Vivera Dr & Mt Helix Dr and then hike to the top on a dedicated paved walking trail. When you get there, you will see an outdoor amphitheater that was built in 1925. At the top there is a large cross that you can see from many parts of La Mesa, Spring Valley and El Cajon. The view from the top is spectacular on all sides! For California native plant lovers: all natives & a large variety too! Make sure to walk the Yawkey trail.
