+imajeep Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) We are going to be in Los Angeles in a couple of weeks, and we want to do a day hike. We're going to be staying in Santa Monica, and we don't want to go too far from there--we've ruled out the San Bernadinos and Santa Barbara. We're looking for a 5-7 mile hike with 1000-1500 feet elevation gain, somewhere around the Santa Monica NRA. I thought this would be a pretty easy search, but the sheer number of possibilities is overwhelming. So, what would you recommend? Thanks David & Liza Veeneman 'imajeep' Edited May 30, 2007 by imajeep Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Not a ton of elevation gain, but plenty of caches and views along the dirt portion of Mulholland Drive. Quote Link to comment
+imajeep Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 We decided to do Topanga to Parker Mesa. about 3 miles, with an 800 foot elevation gain. Canyon views all the way, if Google Earth is to be believed, and a breathtaking view of the entire LA basin from the Parker Mesa Overlook. Quote Link to comment
