| crag | suprising solitude  Date Climbed: Dec 31, 2008 | |
| Hiked this for the first time with a friend, from the Mission View Estates trail head starting at around 10AM. Didn't see a single other person. The few time's I've been back it has been very crowded. Nice little workout, and of course the views are excellent. | |

| Summited twice for the first time the other day. Always fun to get a group together and do Cowles as a night hike during a full moon. | |

| Przemek | Not so bad Date Climbed: Dec 21, 2011 | |
| EASY....This is non technical, pertty easy to do climb. It's more for fitness, as you gain elevation fairly quickly. Not a lot shade there, so bring lotion in the summer. Park in the park or on the street. Summit is pretty nice, views 360. Next time will try running up there as I saw them on my way up. | ||

| My wife and I hiked the trail from Golfcrest and Navajo. This is probably the most crowded hike I have ever been on and it was a Monday. Lots of trail runners which is surprising because you would think they would run on a less crowded trail. | |

| twigasaurus | Sunrise hike | |
| This is definitely a popular trail. I've been out there a number of times, and there are always at least a few other hikers. I've seen the sun rise from the top, as well as the moon rise another time. | |

| tfac2010 | Must do | |
| This should be a requirement for anyone that lives in San Diego. On any given day you will see, runners, hikers, old and young all out to enjoy the day and view. | |

| Hiked it regularly when I first moved to SD, before I found the much less populated remainder of Mission Trails. | |

| SierraSunrise85 | Up and Back in an Hour Date Climbed: Jan 2, 2010 | |
| After making a trip to the San Diego Airport I decided to finally hike Cowles. Unfortunately, I chose to go on a Saturday and there were about 200 other people on the mountain that day (no exaggeration). Hard to enjoy the summit with so many ppl/families on top, but I managed to have a decent jog down despite the crowds and got back to my car within an hour of beginning the hike. I'd recommend any other hike unless you live close. | |

| This is a favorite for after work, before work, and during lunch breaks. Best time to go is around 2 in the afternoon. Not a whole lot of people then. | ||
