Cappie’s Scoop: Who doesn’t love two things for the price of one! Like two treats, two bones, or even better two sticks! Mom and I drove to Poway to tackle two peaks. As we turned into the parking lot for Silverset Park, I saw the trailhead on my left outside the car window and got excited! I jumped out of the car (once we parked and Mom opened the door) and we headed to the trailhead. Everything smelled good so we started up the trail and found ourselves alone. YES, the whole trail to ourselves. Once we reached the first peak, I jumped on a rock and checked out the town in the distance. Mom told me to keep my eyes open for the hooman “tooth rock” in the east but I forgot my compass so I made Mom look for it instead. It looked like another rock to me! The path to the next peak was slightly overgrown but I still made Mom run through it. Glad she had hiking pants on that day. I checked out the view on the second peak and all looked good. So we made our way back down the trail and said hello to other hoomans coming up. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
