A group of us Mt. Whitney hikers climbed Mt. Woodson near Ramona today. We started at the Highway 67 side at 1700 ft. and hiked up the paved road to the top. It was so cold that there were patches of "snow" along the way. It must have hailed during the night pretty hard. The road was very steep, and I wouldn't have been so tired had I not drank beer the night before. At the 2800 ft. peak the views of the snow covered local mountains were spectacular. It doesn't snow this much very often in San Diego county. 
After a rest at the top we decided to hike down the west side to Lake Poway. Luckily one of the guy's wife agreed to pick us up. I enjoyed this route ever more. The trail was slightly muddy but much softer than the pavement. This route is longer and the change in elevation is greater. By the time we arrived at the parking lot my legs were tired and muscles sore, but my knees felt just fine. After getting back to our car we headed to CPK for lunch and boy did that pizza taste good. Next week we will find another place to hike.
