This was a fun experience! The views from the top are amazing! The guide has a bunch of dogs that hike with you. As a dog lover, this was one of my favorite parts of the hike. The hike was challenging in some spots but definitely doable! If you are an experienced hiker, start towards the front of the group, so you can go faster. There are spots you can stop if you need a break. Bring a lot of water because it does get hot.

We took this hike on a Sunday morning with Enrique and the dogs. It was such a great hike, and Enrique gave such good information and had a lot of energy. The trail does get a little bit technical and rock scrambly, but if you are in average shape, it will be no problem for you.

Went on 11/19/23 @ 8:15am. Current times are Sunday - Friday (not Saturday) @ 8:15 only! Get there at 8 as he starts his talk then and then begins the hike promptly at 8:15. There was a parking lot up the road from his gate a bit that was $2 per hour and about a block away. Difficult hike fore sure but worth it. Steep scrambling incline so wear closed toed shoes with no shade so bring water and wear sunscreen/hat/sunglasses. You can see both sides of the peninsula from the top which is amazing. Great photo op. He does a talk at the beginning and then again like mid-way up. It’s just about being mindful/in the moment and how you don’t need substances to do so. To appreciate the present because that’s the only thing that exists in the moment. There were around 10-15 dogs when we went. So fun!

This was our absolute favorite thing to do in Los Cabos. We love hiking to begin with, but the views on this one are so breathtaking that it even replaces Lk. Louise & Banff as my world favorites. There are many good reviews and pictures already here but I have some things to add. We arrived a little before 8 a.m. but had to wait about 15 minutes until Enrique (more about him later) welcomed the crowd inside the gates. So don't overly stress out about being punctual like I was (which annoyed my companions). On the other hand don't be too late either because a man showed up at 8:30 and Enrique turned him away. because he was late. Then Enrique talks at length about the history of the area, magnetic fields and their influences on things, the importance of being present in the moment as there is nothing real except now. Then he yells, "Vamanos, perros!" which is the cue to begin the hike. ( I don't know why, but I found this last bit very charming.) Some reviewers have said he does the hike to get donations for the dogs, but I don't think so. This is a dog training & boarding facility, not a shelter. I think Enrique leads the hikes because he is going to give the dogs the exercise anyway, he likes tips (who doesn't?), and he strikes me as an extroverted, gregarious, entertaining person, who enjoys performing. So his allowing the public to hike with him & dogs is a win-win. It's a side hustle, and I say good for him for being enterprising. The hike will be much more enjoyable for you if you are reasonably fit, not afraid of heights, and very sure-footed on rocks. It is dangerous at the top, where one wrong move will send you off a cliff, but that is where the payoff is. The dogs are very used to people. They are also fast and very well in tune with Enrique's calls to them. If I lived here, I would do this hike every single day.

I love a good hike with amazing views and I love dogs, so hiking with Enrique was everything! Enrique’s speech was nice-I’ll admit I was distracted by all of the excited dogs running around, but the message was received and I think about it from time to time. The hike gets strenuous at a certain point, so I would not suggest it for anyone that is unable to grab rocks and pull themselves up from time to time. I 100% suggest it for the solo lady hikers out there! I felt safe the entire time, so don’t be afraid to show up alone and join the group! It’s worth it!

Hiking with the local rescue dogs, what fun. As best I can tell this is an unsanctioned hike to raise money for the local dog rescue facility. There is no fee for the hike, but the guide requests a tip at the end of hike. I think the money is used to support the dog rescue facility. Great. i was surprised that there were so many people on the hike, I would guess more than 150. Throw in another 30 dogs or so and the trail was pretty chaotic. The hike is challenging, not because of the distance (approximately 5 K) or elevation gain, (approximately 150m) but because of the very rocky terrain and the number of people and dogs on the trail. But, its well worth the effort. The views from the top are magnifico! A tip from our experience: there does not seem to be a limit to the number allowed on a tour, so don't worry about getting there early. The tour guide/shelter operator starts his spiel at 8AM but he was still talking at 8:30 and allowing late comers to join the group. We were there at 7:45 and just stood around for 45 minutes.

I was not prepared for the strenuous and difficult climb up and down the mountain. There were over 100 people in our group following one guide single file up the side of the mountain. I had to stop half way up to catch my breath. Be sure to pack water and wear good hiking shoes…both of which I didn’t have! The view from the top is amazing… very thankful we didn’t get hurt and ruin our vacation. I will not do this climb again…one and done! Enjoy but be careful!

This is a guided hike with Enrique, who is also a dog trainer and has his kennel at the base of Mt Solmar. We arrived at his gate prior to 8am & shortly after he unlocks the gate to let the hikers in. (maybe 75 of us) He educates you about the area prior to starting. The dogs accompany you on the hike. The final 1/3 of the ascent is difficult. (uses your hands to grip rocks & pull yourself up) The first 1/3 of the descent can be difficult as well and you'll use your quadriceps for sure. Wear sturdy shoes, maybe a light pack for water, wear sunscreen and tip Enrique when you're all done. (about 2 hours total)

Took the hike today! It was definitely more challenging than I expected from all of the reviews that I have read. It’s very steep for novice climbers once you pass the flat rock on the way up. Once you get to the top the views are amazing and then you get to spend some time with the dogs. If you are a slow climber or near the end (our group was close to 100 people) you can’t hear Enrique and he is AMAZING! Once we started to head down my legs were jelly and I admittedly had to do some of it on my butt. I am so glad I did it but I don’t think I am cut out for doing it again. I order to be truthful in this review my husband was bit (fairly superficially) by one of the dogs when we were standing waiting to get into the dog daycare. We did not tell anyone because we knew that it was at our own risk. I would recommend this to anyone that feels that they can climb moderate rocks. I would not have felt comfortable bringing my 77 year old father.

This is a hike that we brag about! It was hot and easy up until you get to the very top. We wanted a picture by the cross. We got there by the assistance of some man that popped out of the hiking trail. He let us to the top and we tipped him a couple dollars.it was so worth it. We hike this about seven years ago, and I am reminded of it every time I look at this picture! It was a little challenging to get to the cross. It gets rocky and steep.
