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!

When I hiked it, we got back down and napped for days. My butt definitely felt it for at least a week!
