Potato Chip Rock on Mt. Woodson Trail, Poway, San Diego County, California


     I have always seen many pictures of people standing on the edge of a rock that looks like it will break at any moment on Instagram. People called this rock “Potato Chip Rock”. The hike to potato chip rock is located in the city of Poway right near Lake Poway. The trailhead starts from Lake Poway Recreation Area, just right near the restrooms. Potato chip rock is at the end of the Mount Woodson Trail, about 4 miles uphill. It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get to the summit and see potato chip rock. As you can see in the pictures, the rock is a large thin slab that hangs over the main boulder. It looks like it will break at any moment, but it can hold a lot of weight. There are also a lot of people jumping on the rock for their memorable photos. If you are a crazy hiking lover, you should hit this trail. (TIPS: bring plenty of water, wear a hat and sunscreen, dress appropriately, and leave early in the morning!)
