San Diego is one of the border cities on the U.S. coastline, close to Mexico and with plenty of port resources, this cliff park is a steep spot to enjoy a sunset show at night.

Came here looking for tidepools and were not disappointed! Originally tried Fermin but the walk down the bluffs did not look safe at all. Drove north and just discovered this—a steep road leads down and let’s you park right below the bluffs, where a magical system of sandy beaches and small sandy or rocky pools appears at low tide. We arrived 2 hours before low tide and it was perfect. Abundant if typical marine life in great health, plus sun warmed wading pools with sandy floors for the kids to splash in. Plus gorgeous scenery, many pelicans, Catalina in the distance, large ships passing, and a sighting of a zeppelin, which apparently moors nearby.

Chips (Potato Chip Rock) San Diego, California, United States, there is a place called Mt Woodson, there is a magic rock at the top of that mountain, called Chips (Potato Chip Rock), the rock is very thin, it seems that it can not bear weight, a person standing on it will break a foot. But in fact, it has a lot of gravity, even a dozen people standing on it is no problem. Standing on the potato chip rock, it seems to be on the cliff, there is a feeling of standing in the blue sky and white clouds. Some travel websites in China depict this rock as a god. In fact, this place is indeed a very good hiking place, but there is nothing thrilling at all.

Morrow Rock is a volcanic plug in central California, at the entrance to the port of Morrow Bay on the Pacific coast, a causeway linking it to the coast to make it a tie-up island. This 177-meter-high rock is protected as a Morrow Rock California Reserve. Morro is mainly composed of Anglo-Antarctica, a type of igneous volcanic rock formed 20 million years ago.

Cabrillo tide pools are fun to visit. We looked at a tide chart, and found out that on the day we were going to visit that the low tide was at 2:00pm. We had seen a very long line into the park a couple of years ago, so we decided to get there about 2 hours before the lowest tide. It was a great decision- as there was no line to enter the park and we could easily park near the tide pools! (I see that parking could be extremely difficult during low tide.) The pools were fun to walk around and explore. We could easily find hundreds of little hermit crabs and a few anemone. I was a bit disappointed that we only saw two starfish, and not much else. The volunteers were wonderful and knowledgeable! They were the ones that found the two star fish we did see - a beautiful Knobby Star and a very rare Soft Star. Definitely the highlight of the stop!

Sullivan Canyon has lots to offer, as has been discussed in prior post, but it's the horseback riding here that's of great interest. It's zoned as a "Horses" area & many homes have stables, plus there's a large riding ring about ½ mile inside. You'll see lots of horses & riders here. Pretty level walking for 2-3 miles before getting into the hills. Nice nature walk / hike. Pretty scenery. ...

Great little campsite off the beaten track, definitely worth the few extra miles to get here (coming from the North I luckily only discovered afterwards that Black Canyon Road North of Hole-in-the-Wall was closed: recent snowmelt made parts of the dirt road a very slippery trip - the Southern approach has a tarmac road). The 35 sites were well kept with nice flat areas for the tent (although most people during this winter visit seemed to come here in RVs or trailers). It was wonderfully quite and the views splendid. It’s just 2 minutes walk to the Hole-in-the-Wall visitors centre from where the famous Rings Loop Trail starts. It’s a fun little 1 mile hike which takes you through some weird rock formations. There are only two very short ring sections (ca 3 m each) where you would need to pull yourself up (if you do the loop clockwise which strangely not a lot of people seem to do). The visitors centre was closed and looked abandoned but maybe that was just for the winter season.
