Hottest Hike of the Year

We chose the absolute worst day to do this hike! Very hot and sunny, high 80s, but there was still a surprising amount of people on the trail! I have never taken the fire road side of the trail to the peak, I’ve only ever done this hike from Lake Poway, so it was nice to go a different way for a change. There are some cool boulders and rock structures along the way to stop for some water and take some pictures. It was a very clear day at the peak which made for some nice pictures also. I love finally getting into the pine trees at the top!!
