On November 19, 1961 myself, Bob Brooks and Col. Gil Parker hiked on a four mile round trip from old Mission Dam up Fortuna Mountain - back to stream - up stream to the dam. We were taking pictures for the Conservation Committee of the Sierra Club. More information here.
Standing over the Northern Edge of Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego is the oft-climbed Fortuna Mtn. It may not be an expedition, but this peak has incredible views ranging from Mexico to the South, the Laguna Mountains to the East, Mt. San Jacinto to the North and the Coronado Islands and Pacific Ocean to the West. It can be climbed in an hour from the base, but most hikers enjoy approaching from the waterfalls and creek crossings of Oak Canyon.
