Wonderful Woodson! San Diego Six-Pack of Peaks Challenger Eric tackled the often-crowded Woodson Mountain at sunrise and got some great photos of the inversion layer.

Have you taken a sunrise hike?

Roller coaster! That's an apt description for the route up El Cajon Mountain. In fact, the trail is closed during the month of August due to the heat. Tips for success? Like challenger Marilyn, pick a cooler day, and start early.

Potato Chip (aka Woodson Mountain aka Mount Woodson) is an awesome hike. The photo on the cantilevered rock is optional, and often requires a long wait in line. Kudos to challenger Kimberly for summiting AND sticking around for the IG shot.
