13 Best Hikes in California

"Just 30 minutes north of downtown San Diego, located outside the town of Poway, lies one of SoCal's most photographed natural formations. Potato Chip Rock is a slim, seven-foot stone cantilever jutting out from a massive boulder near the summit of Mount Woodson. The route from the Lake Poway trailhead is 7.4 miles, taking roughly 4.5 hours to complete and climbing 2,000 feet in elevation, though there is a shorter (and steeper) walk along Mount Woodson Road, which is paved for easier access. No matter which way you go, bring water since there is little shade." - Travel + Leisure Editors
