Los
Coches
Los Coches Boulders is a medium sized boulder field
on a steep hillside just 3 miles east of El Cajon. It's only
one minute off the freeway and a 5 minute approach hike from
the parking lot. These rocks have seen occasional use for many
years but never developed as a major popular area, perhaps because
of the steep hill. We can't offer much info regarding the boulder
problems themselves, but exploration is half the fun anyway.
Access Issue : Since 1996 the surrounding area has been totally
developed with houses and a shopping center but physical access
still exists. At this time we do not know if the boulder field
land is privately owned or not. There does not seem to be a problem
with access but maybe this is only because few people go there.
How to get there
: Three miles east of El Cajon on
I - 8, take the Los Coches Rd exit.
The boulders are plainly visible on the hillside south of the
freeway. Park inconspicuosly in the Wal-Mart parking lot. The
boulders are a two minute approach from there.
Types of Climbing
: Bouldering, possibly a few toprope
problems
