Safer San Diego Hikes

I've used the San Diego Hikes app on three hikes over the last three weeks: Mount Woodson to see Potato Chip Rock, Cowles Mountain using the Mesa trail (backside - east side - of the mountain), and Lake Murray.

It is an excellent app for the casual San Diego hiker. I knew where we were at all times on the Mount Woodson hike. It was our first time doing the hike, and I did not want to wander off on the wrong trail.

A neat feature for Mission Trails is the park map is available in addition to the topo. The Black Mountain park map is another overlay option under the file folder icon.

Lake Murray was more of a walk than a hike, but having the app was useful to answer the "when we will be at the end" question that tends to arise with my hiking partner.

For free, this is a must have app on your phone if you are exploring the many hiking options in San Diego. The maps are always on your phone, useful for the cell-free areas you run into on hikes. Thank you to the developer for making it available.
