Summary:
This loop is close to my home. The loop is just an extension of the Sweetwater Reserve Trail that is also in the reviews. I would say that this loop is fun, it has a bit of everything. It is a good ride to take if you are in the area and looking for an extended trail. During the summer get an early start, it gets hot out there.

Summary:
If you live in the southbay, this is your weekend epic. Excellent ride for a saturday/sunday morning, but try to avoid it midday- the reservoir can be pretty unpleasant in the heat. While a good portion of the ride puts you on pretty basic urban trails, there are plenty of excellent climbs for those of us that like that sort of thing.

Recommended Route:
The route described above pretty much covers it; however, a fun climbing option will put you up Mother Miguel mountain via a rough rocky trail near the start of the gravel trail leading to the Steele Canyon bridge. The views from there can be stunning.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Otay mountain (paved but a real workout)
Hollenbeck canyon (secluded and good workout)
Otay Lakes
