Travel with Kris to the United States #6 -San Diego Part 3 [美國聖地亞哥遊記 Part3]

Hi Steemit Friends, Hope you are doing great. Last time I shared my travel experience in USS Midway Museum, Kissing Statue and Seaport Village in Downtown San Diego. If you are interested, you can press here. Today, I am going to continue my San Diego trip with something different, HIKING. If you love hiking and planning to visit San Diego, remember to bookmark this post below :)

Steemit的朋友大家好,在聖地亞哥遊記Part2中,我介紹了幾個市中心有名的景點,美國海軍中途島號博物館,勝利之吻和海港村。 有興趣的朋友,可以按這裡。 今天我想繼續我的聖地亞哥之旅,不同的是,今天我想介紹一個比較特別的景點-薯片石,而這個景點需要登山才能到達。喜歡登山的朋友,記得標籤這個帖子喔 :)

Potato Chip Rock 「薯片石」

Located at the peak of Mt. Woodson summit in Poway, Potato Chip Rock is a super thin slab of rock that looks like a piece of potato chip. The hike has become a popular attraction due to the creative poses photos published by the hikers on Facebook and Instagram.

薯片石屹立於聖地亞哥以東的伍徳森山頂的一塊薄長的巖石,側面看形狀看起來像一塊薯片懸掛在山上,因而得名。薯片石在登山界頗負盛名,吸引了不少遊客腳踩薯片,一嘗崖邊的剌激,加上登山者發揮無窮創意,擺出各種有趣的姿勢的照片,令它逐漸成為聖地亞哥熱門景點之一。

There are two different routes that you can take. The longer west side route is approximate 8 miles roundtrip dirt trail start at Lake Poway Park. The shorter east side route is approximate 4 miles shaded and paved trail, near the Hedy Drive intersection. You can choose the route suitable for your ability. We chose the shorter route this time and it takes around 3 hours excluding the photo taking time. When driving to the trailhead for the East-side route, you will know you get there by finding many cars parked along the shoulder.

岩石登山到薯片石有兩條路徑可以選擇,分別是東邊和西邊。西邊的路徑比較遠,往返大概是8英里,是佈滿沙石的石階和斜坡,坡度比較陡。而東邊比西邊路徑短一半,來回只有4英里,沿路有較多遮蔽物,都是一些人工鋪過小路,比較易走。大家可以根據自己的能力選擇適合的路徑,平時較少鍛鍊的我們選擇了東邊較短的路徑。起點是靠近Hedy Dive的交叉口,當你看到很多停泊在路邊的車輛,恭喜你,那你應該沒有搞錯西邊的路徑起點啦。

Once parked, we followed the signs guiding us to the trailhead. When you see this sign, you will know you are on the right path. It's located beside the trail.

停放好車,按照沿路的路標,就看到這個森林消防隊的標誌,你會知道你在向正確的道路上,它的旁邊就是西邊的路徑起點

As you can see, the trail is paved. This trail is easier than I expected as I have many friends said it's very tiring after the hike to potato chip rock. Maybe I can challenge myself and take the East-side trail next time~

正如相片中,這條小路是人工鋪成的斜坡。這條路徑比我預期容易得多,因為很多朋友告訴我,登上薯片石不容易呀,回來累得半死,大概他們是選擇了西邊那條路線吧。

Walking along the trail, we will find some cool rock formations.

沿路會看到各種大石頭

This trail is dog friendly. How cute this Corgi is >V<

不少主人帶上他們的毛小孩一齊登山,這隻哥基好可愛,幫它拍了個特寫:P

從山上俯瞰,風景優美。

終於來到此行的目的地-薯片山,走近了發現很多人都排隊等著上石頭


Below, I have find some creative poses that people made on this rock.

以下,我找了一些有趣的姿勢和大家分享,你會發現他們創意無限

Time for group photo. We enjoyed our hike to Potato Chip Rock.

首先,當然要拍團體照,走在薯片石上還是有點小膽怯,尤其是到達石頭邊緣,畢竟石下就是懸崖,真心佩服那些跳起來拍照的人。


Source I guess many people will have the question like, is it safe to stand on this think slab of rock. It's actually very secure that it can support the weight of ten people, maybe more.

我想很多朋友都會疑惑安全問題,其實薯片石是一塊延伸出崖邊的石頭,沒有看起來那麼脆和薄,(不是真的像薯片啦lol)十多個人站在上面都沒有問題

Talent Time. This is the best I can do lol

We are amazed by the beauty of nature. This panoramic scenery is just epic.

山上的景色優美,我們心滿意足的拍完照,就坐在上面食午餐三文治一邊欣賞景色。

Friendly Reminder:

  1. If you consider hiking in summer, I would recommend to start early or later in the afternoon due to the hot desert climate in Poway.

  2. Although the trail is paved, comfortable hiking shoes and long pants are recommended. You have to slide down from the rock after taking the photos so you may get scratches if you wear a short. (I definitely wear the wrong clothing and shoes.)

  3. Bring plenty of water as there's no where to refill along the trail. At least 2 litre per person.

  4. If you start late in the afternoon, it's better to check the sunset time as it begins to cool after the sun goes down

  5. It's better put some sunscreen on to prevent sunburn.

  6. Avoid weekend or come early in the morning to skip a long line for getting a picture on the rock.

溫馨的提示:

1.如果你在夏天遠足,我會建議清晨出發,因為在Poway受到沙漠氣候影響,下午的天氣炎熱。
2.比較推薦去的朋友穿著舒適的登山鞋和長褲。 拍攝照片後,大家都是走這條石頭縫坐在上面慢慢滑下來,穿長褲可以避免刮傷。 (我絕對穿錯了衣服和鞋子。)

3.沿路並沒有商店或飲水機,所以帶足夠的水是很重要的。 建議每人至少2升的水。
4.如果你從下午出發,建議查看日落時間,入黑下山會比較危險。
5.另外塗防曬霜避免曬傷。
6.如果不想排隊拍照的朋友,可以避免週末登山或者清晨出發喔。
