if you're ever looking for a good hike not to far from san diego, head out to poway (about a 30 minute drive from downtown) and hike up mt.woodson.  overlooking lake poway this approximately 7 mile trail (from the parking lot at lake poway) is a great workout, with a slow steady incline in a beautiful setting of trees, boulders and desert shrub. recommend starting out early in the morning, as the temperature definitely rises during the day!
