    Amazing mountain biking trails. Shorter but intense routes. Awesome views short hike, perfect for a quick early morning hike. Nice and easy hiking trail. Don't bring your motor home here. This trail takes you away from all the city chaos within 20 minutes. When I went I was not sure what to expect, at that time I was wearing my running shoes and I slipped multiple times while coming back so make sure to wear your hiking boots. I went on a weekday and met only 2 guys throughout the journey and I read in reviews that people saw rattle snake so I was bit scared as I went alone, thankfully I dint saw any rattle snake, but there are more people during weekends. It's an absolutely beautiful hike with lots of scenic views. On a clear day you can see the ocean you can see downtown and Point Loma. Recommend to my family and my friends.

    Left a little too late in the evening to make it to the Peak, started at the Iola culdesac. Loose rocks and gravel and soil trail. Wear good shoes. Saw at 4 foot gopher snake on the trail coming back down the hill.

    Good hike. Finding the trailhead is a bit difficult. For me I parked at Saber Springs park, I was first led by Google to a residential area which wasn't particularly helpful. The trailhead is unmarked on the very edge of the park by a culdesac.

    First off, I wouldn't do this trail in tennis shoes. It was quite steep at points, narrow, overgrown with loose footing. Trail or hiking boots highly recommend. I saw a snake on the hike, luckily it was not of the poisonous variety, though I imagine there are plenty about. I wore shorts and did get a bit scratched up because of the overgrowth. All told I enjoyed it, I'll do it again. Took me about 1:45 round-trip at a reasonably brisk pace.

    Broke my chain here, so that was a downhill without pedals... Which would probably the case anyway, too steep to sit on the saddle. Beautiful views here...just behind my house. What a backyard..

6 reviews of Van Dam Peak "Great hike with panoramic views. I found Van Dam Peak using Google maps, as it doesn't appear in much else. Google has the trails surrounding the peak listed as "Open Space Trail" and although the City of Poway owns the land, it's not advertised on their website.
