Tooth Rock is a jagged sandstone outcrop above Lake Poway offering panoramic valley and reservoir views — strong at sunrise and especially sunset. Reachable via a short, moderately steep trail from Lake Poway parking. Expect golden-hour backlight, seasonal wildflowers (spring), and fewer visitors weekdays. No entry fee; bring water, sun protection and sturdy shoes. Limited parking near the trailhead; early arrival recommended on weekends.
