Secret Staircases of Rustic Canyon + Murphy Ranch

Join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/

A hidden staircase, the longest public staircase in Los Angeles, drops 24 stories into the middle of lush Rustic Canyon. I will combine a 6-mile hike with the stairs taking in Rustic and Sullivan Canyons by way of little known trails. Along the way we’ll visit Murphy Ranch, a 1930s hideout where, according to urban legend, Third Reich sympathizers could sequester themselves until German rule had been established in the USA

Riddle
What does the inventor of the photobooth, The Beach Boys, a bunch of WWII-era NAZIs and Charlie Manson have in common? Answer will be revealed during hike!

Trail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. Bring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need.

Trail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly.
