Hiking Potato Chip Rock and Mount Woodson in San Diego County
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- Potato Chip Rock is one of the most popular trails in Southern California. The trail takes you up to the summit of Mount Woodson, but along the way, it passes a famous rock that is often photographed and which looks like it is as thin as a potato chip. Of course, the rock is a lot less scary when you are standing on it, but from far away it makes for a good photo.

"And to our right, ladies and gentlemens, the halfway point of our ascent to potato chip rock, we have the infamous Butt Cheek Rock" 🤨@2:44
I gotta wonder how many people jumping up and down on potato Rock it's gonna take before it breaks...
And it's a long way down when it does - that'll be a national news story for sure
This was my very first hike ever took me 6 hours total. I been on a weightloss journey this was beautiful thanks for sharing the videos
My heart stopped when you jumped on the rock!!! 😱 awesome video, of course 👍
Awesome i love ur videos and the fact that u include everytbing good job with the hike
Thanks for watching!
Hi Josh, it’s been crossing on my mind to go hike to this place. So, I finally I did it yesterday on Sunday after I saw your vlog first to get more information. I parked at the side the road of CA 67 (I got it from Google or Apple Maps for direction). Started from there hikes the trail that pretty steep so I made couple rest before got to summit. Waited almost an hour for long line to take picture. Then hit the road again back home, I stopped by to Burger Bench as recommended it in your vlog. I didn’t disappoint, the foods so good taste. Thanks Josh ....
Buttcrack Rock @ 2:45
With all due respect, jumping on the flake was stupid, it WILL fail & break off one day, you were lucky it wasn't when u did that.
2:45 Ass Rock?
My grandpa lives right below it!
Epic hike and a cool payoff at the top.
Agreed, it is a fun one!
At the 2:45 mark, sucks he didn't mention ass rock lol
Love the content always happy to see you post something new! Can you please also include roughly how long the hikes take you in your videos? I know it's different for everyone but nice to have a ballpark. How long did this hike take round trip? Thanks!
New to your channel and im loving it thanks for the content its much needed especially to us folks that never been and would love to explore sometime ( me) 😂😂
Hey Spider Girl. If you are the young lady afraid of SPIDERS (or know this person) whom I met on the way down on Friday, April 19th, 2024, I think you dropped something. Please contact me so I can return it to you. Be safe.
Aww, my old stomping grounds. Did this hike countless times with my dog Ranger when I lived in San Diego. A great trainer for ambitious hikes like Mt Whitney.
Where u live now? Y did u move from sunny sd? If u don’t mind me asking
As a native Californian, I have learned so much about my home state. Thanks. The video is great. My idea of a "hike" is taking a walk through the flatland of my neighborhood
I hiked the east side, every day, until I moved in 2018. Incredible hik.
Wow Josh that looks so deceptive from the opening shot; but half way hearing your breathing and seeing that incline for over a thousand feet you earned a cool brewski; maybe even two. Great hike.
another great adventure-inspriring video! Think I'll try this tomorrow and look for that butt-shaped rock on the way lol
More hike vids! :D
What a cool hike!
Being an Australian, my mind boggles at the elevation in some of the hikes there! Ours are so small in comparison.... it would be literally breath taking for me haha haha
One of my favorite hikes. I like the other side better from the highway...huge boulders everywhere.
I went there last time. It was an hour hike plus an hour waiting for a photo! Long long line!
You went the hard. Only 3 miles but all uphill
Might have to push some people off the rock 👀👀
Native san diegan everyone in hs hiked this as a big flex
What camera and lens are you using?
What month did you go? I’m planning on going in January.
i found this omehow and it lookss cool
Did the trip to Potato chip rock on Presidents day. We took the short route which was 2 miles one way. WOW that shit was work! Be aware that is a non-stop incline to the top. Workout for sure.
I did it and it sucks
I can see Mt Woodson from my house , a 15min to the lower trailhead, on a weekend I’ve seen over 100 cars parked at upper Ramona trailhead with county sheriffs Controlling parking. People line up to Get a turn, kind of a joke (Disney Land) if your out for a mind clearing hike. I feel sorry for the people who live on the road between the parking and the chip.
If you want a 'shorter hike' you can come in from the east side. Steeper incline but wayyyy shorter. Totally worth it. Also it is possible to climb from the bottom of the chip - you have to wedge yourself in and shimmy up the crevice but it's completely doable if you don't want to make that leap and possibly severely injure yourself (remember a life flight is $20k!)
Hey Josh, you can borrow my trail umbrella next time.
Last two weeks of March 2020, we should have another super bloom. March 5, flowers are starting.
I have not visited this place, but it seems to be a very popular place to take instagram photos.
Thank for the video, I’ve always wanted to do this hike the long way and not the EASY way. Reason why I haven’t hiked it in a while.
Recently I went there with my cane, it's so stif hiking. I stop tahe a deep breath every 15 minutes. It took me the whole day trip.
That's just a few miles from our house. We can see Mt. Woodson from our front yard. We live in Ramona, on the other side from Poway.
Killer hike! Killer burger!! Hope to be in San Diego later this month and will add both to my itinerary.
Wow! I definitely need to too this hike. What a name !! Potato chip hike. My favorite snack !! Potato chips
Ok ,,i gotta do this soon before it gets really hot....Another Great Informative Vid ..
bruh ok I went to camp at Lake Poway and they never took us up to Potato chip Rock
Thank you❤
Thank you soooo much. This was perfect. New subbie
Josh from California through my lens that food you ate at the end of this video looks delicious and Josh from California through my lens I like your videos.
Burger Bench was fantastic! Just ate there this afternoon. You need to keep doing this for all your future videos!
Hell yeah my man, a solid burger or a even a double is the way to motivate yourself to do the next hike!
How will the coronavirus affect your travel?
I feel as tho iron mountain way more difficult
how many hours did it take to get there from the parking lot?
This is a such a great channel. It’s the next best thing to living in Cali.
Thanks Josh
I would ride my Mountain bike up
I miss Cali so much. Moved from there to New Mexico 10 years ago. Glad I came across your channel, it brings me a little closer to home. Thanks for what you do!
How’s New Mexico treating ya?
Potatoe chip rock looks like a glitch in a game
Anyone here from an instagram post?
You’re in my neck of the woods. Let me know if you need some tips on other spots to see.
Bro, if in san diego fish tacos is a must.
Hello from beloved poway!!!
Wow looks awesome! Thanks for sharing
Yaaaas POTATO CHOP
Awesome hike!
Wow!!!!!
Lovely! 💙💙💙
Best photo op ever!
It does seem like an unusually hot winter. Phewww. Crazy rock. People may be afraid it will break.
Why would you climb that slice of a rock like that, let alone jump on it. Irresponsible! This is the same or even worse than people climbing natural arches for selfies. Or how about leaving trash behind in nature. UNSUBSCRIBING to both channel.
greenbamb00 ok karen
i read about and it’s literally safe bro chill
