🇺🇸 San Diego’s Potato Chip Rock! 🧗

Standing on the edge of the world, touching the sky’s crispy slice! 🌍 Hike through 11 km of pristine mountain trails and be rewarded with 360-degree views of mountains and lakes! 🏞️ Along the way, you’ll encounter quirky rock formations, shrubs, wildflowers, and of course… bees 🐝, lizards 🦎, and more! The trail is mostly exposed and rocky, so wear proper hiking shoes, bring plenty of water➕snacks, and don’t forget sunscreen! ☀️ Potato Chip Rock is super photogenic, but climbing onto it requires some skill — saw two foreigners leap from a nearby rock like pros! 🏃‍♂️💨 If you’re agile and fearless, give it a try! Otherwise, do like me and crawl up carefully using both hands and feet 😅 Overall, the climb and distance are manageable — not too exhausting! The feeling of breathing deeply atop the mountain is absolutely worth it! Highly recommend! 🙌 📍 Navigation Address: Potato Chip Rock 🔍 Google Maps: Potato Chip Rock Trailhead or Mt.
