A popular hiking trail in Tepic, the 2 km trail is well-marked and paved, though there are other, more challenging unimproved trails going up the hill. The hilltop affords some of the best views of the city and has spectacular vistas of nearby mountains, particularly at sunrise and sunset. The trail is moderately difficult with steep inclines. A fit hiker can get up and back in about an hour, though most casual hikers take up to 2 hours. A parking lot is available at the base. A cluster of three crucifixes marks the summit.

The original religious structure here was built in 1750, but the present stems from 1885, fashioned in a Neo-Gothic style, and which now serves as a diocese. The cathedral was heavily damaged by the 2022 Michoacán earthquake and as of January 2024 is still closed for repairs, although there is hope that the repairs will be completed sometime in 2024.

This is an interesting museum about the local boy hero who supposedly jumped off the Castle of Chapultepec wrapped in the Mexican flag rather than let the nasty American imperialists under General Winfield Scott take it, during the Battle of Chapultepec in 1847. All displays are captioned in Spanish only, but you may be able to ask for a tour in English.
