Cowles Mountain Trail (feet only)

[Moochie]

We took a short hike up to the summit of Cowles Mountain. It's a very popular trail in San Diego that a lot of people use to get some exercise. At the top there is a really nice 360° view.

That's my backyard. I used to do that trail everyday a few years back.

Were you a runner? I can't believe how many people run up and down this rocky trail. There are a lot of emergency responses to this trail. They fall and can't get up.
