Greg, Scott and I hiked to Eagle Peak near the San Diego River. Jerry Schad's book
Afoot & Afield San Diego Hiking Guide describes an out and back trip that is about 4 miles total and starts at the east side of the peak. We being the adventurous type decided to let Google Earth create a trail for us to follow. Our trip was close to 10 miles and did a full loop around and down the mountain starting from the Ramona Estates trail head.

[update]
Major poison oak on my legs, I wore shorts and 2 weeks after the hike I am scratching my legs so bad until they bleed..it hurts so good..argh...
That's awesome. I would love to try this rather than the easy approach from the top...
