Blue Angels Peak / Valley of the Moon: 03.12.11

A 6 hr, 8 mi, 2260 elevation gain hike to Blue Angels Peak (4548 ft) and Valley of the Moon located in Jacumba Mountains, south of I-8 at the border with Mexico. Temperatures were in the 60s with wind gusting to 35 mph. Blue Angels Peak trail shows signs (empty cans, plastic bottles, pieces of clothing) of a heavy traffic from across the border. Yet, during the whole hike, we've met only some off-road drivers and a group of backpackers.
