  • 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.

    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.

    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

    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 ....

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    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.
