The workout to summit of El Cajon Mt.

Park on the main road and not in the parking lot so that I could go at my own pace and not worry about getting lock in at 4PM sharp in the parking lot. Start the hike at 8am and dress in layers. Took 3 liters of water, sunscreen, sunglasses because I knew the sun would be beating down once it hit directly. The trail was very steep going up. Took pictures along the way and made it around noon to the summit. Relax for a while, ate lunch and enjoyed a couple of beers to celebrate and started the hike back around 3pm and the sunset around 440pm. My toes and knees felt how tough the trail was.
