Mount Woodson

Hi guys! 

How was your Christmas??

Ours flew by like a whirlwind,

but I'm happy to report that I was actually able to tear myself away from stuffing my face a few times,

and spend some time outdoors. 

I've been wanting to hike Mount Woodson for a while now,

and getting a few extra days off work seemed like a perfect opportunity to do just that. 

Situated above beautiful Lake Poway,

the trail offers stunning views of San Diego,

and if you look closely, you may even catch a glimpse of the dowtown skyline. 

The whole hike takes approximately three hours (roundtrip),

with the best reward being the photo-op at the Potato Chip Rock (<-- actual name).

Walking on top of the world is a little bit intimidating if you suffer from acrophobia like I do.
But the views are so worth it!

Conquered the famous Potato Chip Rock!
It does, in fact, look like a pringle. Right?

If you're in San Diego and in the mood for a challenge,

I definitely recommend this trail. 

It's more difficult than Cowles Mountain,

which is my usual pick for an outdoors cardio session,

but it's definitely manageable. 

My booty-cheeks hurt so good the next day!
