Bike San Diego

San Diego boasts a plethora of bike trails, from easy shoreline rides to more intense mountain trails. Ride from the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown to Liberty Station, which takes you through San Diego’s Marina District and Spanish Landing Park, but don’t stop there! Extend your ride into Point Loma. Finding a bicycle is as easy as searching San Diego bike rentals online.

Hike Potato Chip Rock

For the experienced hiker looking for a challenge, hike approximately three miles (one way) to reach what is known as “Potato Chip Rock,” about 100 yards below the Mt. Woodson summit. The popular hiking destination gets its name because a slender part of the rock protrudes at the top, resembling a potato chip. Be sure to allow three to four hours for the hike.
