We took the short route up to Potato Chip Rock today. We're building our hiking stamina in preparation for our longer hikes.  We started our hike at 6:39am and made it to the top in approximately 66 minutes. The weather was BEAUTIFUL… mid 50's to low 60's with clear skies! I wore thermals and an additional layer, plus a light jacket. They lasted about 1/4 of the way up before I started stripping down layers. The incline on this side of the trail is NO JOKE!! My quads feel like jello at the end of our hike!

The views were gorgeous! Potato chip rock is a bit of a mental/physical challenge to get onto, but don't overthink it and you'll be fine! I did a leap of faith from one set of rocks to the iconic Potato chip rock. Then I helped my wife! It was AWESOME!!

Have fun y'all!
