Review:

Mount Woodson is located in the geographic center of the San Diego urban area, so climbing to its top means fantastic views of the whole area and the ocean beyond. The 6.4-mile, very challenging hike with 1,800 feet of elevation gain means a lot of climbing. You will also hop over some amazing massive granite boulders with some pretty strange shapes. The most famous one is a granite sliver called the "Potato Chip," which looks like its floating in the air; nobody can resist taking a photo at its tip.
