Within 20 minutes, I was at my second summit of the day. The views from both summits were great, but the freeway noise was a little off-putting.

El Cajon Mountain and Mission Trails

I enjoyed a few minutes on top and headed back down. On the way, I spied a roadrunner hopping at flies in the brush. This is my third hike that I spied a roadrunner and I never tire of watching them scurry away. I made it back to the trail head, happy to have knocked down two peaks in a day.
