Mario Larsen+FollowChips Rock Hike ThrillCraving a high-five from the sky? The 7.3-mile Potato Chip Rock & Mt. Woodson loop near Poway is your ticket—4h20m of steep, soul-testing climbs. Tackle narrow trails to that iconic “potato chip” boulder (prime photo op!), then push to Mt. Woodson’s summit for Pacific vistas. Bring gallons of water (sunscreen mandatory!)—the open hills bake in heat, so turn back if you’re low on H2O. Dogs on leashes welcome, but newbies, save this for cooler days. Weekday parking at Lake Poway? Free. Worth every step. #Outdoor #Hiking #ChipsRockHike #PeakViews #DogFriendlyTrails 50Share
