Month: July 2018

After a short hike to Kwaay Paay peak, I was looking some place for quick work out. Recently, I am obsessed with body weight work out. On way to the home, I stopped by Murray Ridge Park. It is not a big, but there is pull up bar, parallel bar and abs bench.

There is three pull up bars with different height. The area is shaded in the morning, which is good to work out. The parallel bar is a kind of wide. The grass is well maintained.

I was able to do 6 strict pull ups on the highest bar, and it is harder compare to the gym.

This is very short hike that travels to Kwaay Paay Peak from Kumeyaay Lake Campground.

Distance: 3 miles

Duration: 1:28:00

Pace: 29.19 min/mile

Elevation Gain: 853 ft

Trailhead: Bushy Hill Dr at Father Junipero Serra Trail ( It is across Kumeyaay Lake Campground)

At the intersection of Father Junipero Serra Trail and Bushy Hill Dr, there is a parking lot on the left, and Kumeyaay Lake Campground on the right. If the parking lot is full, you can park on Father Junipero Serra Trail, just outside of the gate. Remember the gate locked at night, if you plan to hike late afternoon. Follow Father Junipero Serra Trail about 0.2 miles, you will see the sign of Kwaay Paay Peak Trail, and 1.2 miles from here.

Soon, there is a junction, either way will merge into the same place, the left turn is little longer. I just take right turn.

About 0.45 miles, these two way meet, and continue to the straight at here.

In a minute, there is another junction, which meet the trail from Mission Dam, here continue staight.

About a quarter miles, there is a sign to the peak 0.8 miles to go. Even though it is short trail, it is pretty steep most of the section. Enjoy the view at the peak, and return the same way.
