Cuyamaca Peak

On Sunday, we went on a hike up Cuyamaca Peak. It is the second highest point in San Diego County with its summit a 6,512 feet above sea level. One of the nice things about San Diego is its location, being so close to both ocean and mountains. We drove less than an hour east of San Diego and we were in the mountains.

The hike was a short hike, only five miles roundtrip, but it was a strenuous one as the first 2.5 miles was uphill and very steep. It was steep enough that the next day my gluteals and hamstrings were achy! But it was definitely worth it as I got a really good workout and the view was beautiful.
