"Hiking in LA" Hiking Tip by giampiero6

Los Angeles is also surrounded by BEAUTIFUL settings. No kidding. In 30 minutes you can be in glorious nature, and you'll never believe you are within 15 miles of a giant metropolis. I love to get out and hike almost every weekend. Here above you can see the view from Sandstone Peak just north of Malibu. 3111feet above the pacific ocean. The hikes you can take are many and varied, from oaky shaded stream beds, to strenuous hills/mountains, to red canyons, to grassy meadows. I've done a lot of hiking in the Alps and in various places and I have to say I am blown away by how accessible, beautiful and remote it can get within just a short distance from home. Please help keep the state parks in the area operating and expanding.

Directions: go up the PCH and head into the hills...hiking is everywhere!
