Description: The adventure begins at the unofficial trailhead tucked behind the McKelligon Canyon Amphitheater. Right from the start, we’re surrounded by dramatic rock formations, towering boulders, and natural climbing walls that make for a thrilling ascent.
As we make our way up the mountainside, the path becomes wild and untamed, with a bit of bushwhacking through thick brush that adds to the sense of exploration. Reaching the ridgeline, we’re rewarded with sweeping panoramic views of McKelligon Canyon to our right and the Coronado Golf Course out to the left.
From there, we follow the scenic ridgeline before descending a rugged, rocky face toward the famous Heart Rock area. We then follow the trail down to the picnic area at McKelligon Canyon. The hike wraps up with a peaceful quarter mile walk along the canyon road, bringing us full circle back to where the adventure began.
