Hike #8 in the 2023 highest and most interesting peaks in the Santa Monica Mountains series is the Valley to the Sea, a strenuous 11 mile, 1000 gain hike from the Valley to the Sea in memory of Willy Blumhoff with a stop at the Eagle Rock (1957′), the outing peak.
This is a one-way hike with a car shuttle; it’s a variant of the one Willy took each year on his birthday. The hike will start at the Top of Reseda Trailhead, taking the Garapito Trail, summiting Eagle Rock, stopping at Trippet Ranch for lunch, and then taking the East Topanga Fire Road to Los Liones, ending at PCH and Sunset.
This is a shuttle hike. Meet at 7:30 AM in the first parking lot on the right on Los Liones (PCH to Sunset Boulevard, north 0.3 mile, left on Los Liones) and shuttle to the Top of Reseda Trailhead. Please contact leaders with regard to shuttle requirements before coming on the hike.
