Make sure to pick a cooler day to hike this, because it’s quite a trek upwards. It’s paid parking, keep in mind, but the greenery is beautiful, with great views of the sea.

Serene hike in La Jolla Canyon/Point Mugu State Park. Moderate elevation gain on switch backs with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean, Anacapa Island & Santa Cruz Island all the way to the top. Uncrowded gem in Point Mugu, one of my favorite hikes.

Steep hike, fast ascent up to the peak. Good training grounds for gaining elevation quickly. If doing it once isn’t enough, do it twice for elevation gain of about 2400ft.

Challenging but rewarding hike. Beautiful views of the pacific ocean, Point Mugu & the Santa Monica Mountains on Mugu Peak. Good training for quick elevation gain as the trail is steep from start to finish and gains approx. 1300ft in just over a mile. My favorite trail in the Santa Monicas.

Awesome trails and creeks have gone down a bit. Where horses have gone they really mess up the trails. It’s like riding through thousands of potholes. Hands up for no horses when the ground is saturated??? Best part is when a horse steps right into a gophers tunnel and creates an asteroid impact!! Other than dodging hove holes it’s a blast!!!

This is a good hike for training. The first part is strenuous then mostly flat. Beautiful views of the ocean and Channel Islands. The trail is always crowded. And what’s up with those boom-box toting hikers blasting music? You are annoying!

Hiked into La Jolla Valley trail camps, 5 miles, 1500’ (or 1100’ depending on app).
Uphill to 2.6 miles then pretty much flat(ish).
The camp is in the trees in the valley, no cell service.
Peaceful and pretty.
No water.

Love this area. Grew up around here, going to university in Boulder, and i still think this is one of the most beautiful places. Gotta go early in the morning though. Watching the fog burn off the valley floors from a mountain is so nice
