is a small brown and white sign on your right that points to
the entrance on your left to the Stonewall Mine and Horse camps.

grounds and a trail that goes up around the old water tank.
-Stonewall peak, across from Paso Pichacho Campground on highway
79 just South of Lake Cuyamaca. About one hours easy hike up
to peak. It is named after the Stonewall Mine North of here,
not the Boulders you have to climb up at the peak.
-Green Valley Falls, Green Valley Falls Campground, several miles

to the falls. Someone from a wetter State might walk right past
these "Falls". There is just enough water for kids
to play. Warning: The rangers try to keep this area clear and
it is posted for no glass containers but you never know when
some idiot will break a bottle and not clean up the pieces. You
and your kids should where shoes while wading. Hiking
