Welcome
The County Peaks List is an offering of the Outings Section of the San
Diego Chapter of the Sierra Club. It is composed of one hundred peaks located
within San Diego County. Each peak is publicly accessible and with the
exception of one, all are rated non-technical1. The peaks on the
list were selected based on their accessibility, topography, variety of
terrain, prominence, and ability to offer climbers a well-rounded
representation of the entire county. Some peaks can be combined for long
"grand tour" type outings and backpacks, while some can be done as
conditioning hikes after work. The main purpose of the list is to encourage
outings to less traveled areas, to explore remote high points, to develop
navigational skills and to instill within climbers a sense of stewardship of
the land.
