We drove up to San Diego County on a Wednesday afternoon and decided to hit up good ol’ Potato Chip Rock before checking into our hotel. The steep road from the highway inclines continuously, but it’s straightforward and provides you with a nice view of the city as you near the summit. The hike is the easy part, getting on that rock at the end is the dilemma. It’s not as easy as everyone makes it out to be but it certainly is doable. It was a great hike to kick off our San Diego Six Pack!

Nice photos! It’s actually probably a good thing to do this either early or later in the day like you did. This has a lot of exposure and can get quite warm.
Great fun! Joan and I hiked this with Chris Griffith and Derek @100peaks and both pups. Never have actually stood on the chip though.
