How to get there
Trailhead Access
Driving along Avenida Leones to the West, take the return that is in front of Walmart, before reaching Plaza Cumbres. After returning, turn right (toward the hill) an avenue called Richard E. Byrd. This avenue eventually changes its name to Venice and will take us to a booth where the ascent begins, passing through the Kilimanjaro school.
Parking Information
Venecia Street is a “dead end” street that only leads to the hill, so we can park along its length. There is space to park and travel, no problem, we just avoid obstructing any access.
Fees & Park Hours
