El Cajon Mountain GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

The El Cajon Mountain follows a dirt road for its majority to the summit, with ample ups and downs as it weaves its way up the west ridge of the peak. The last bit does have a nice trail, which leads to the high point.
