Start at Claremont Mesa Drive’s end—Fountain Trails Loop weaves through North and South Fountain peaks, a city-dweller’s escape into nature. Choose your path: clockwise climbs North Peak, descends via South’s steps; reverse for a fresh vibe. Year-round access, but weekends demand early arrival for parking. Bring water, sunscreen—optional Fountain Saddle shortens the route. Spring blooms + city-ocean views = instant escape. #Outdoors#Hiking#FountainPeakHike #SanDiegoTrails #CityEscape
