SUMMARY:💦Wet & Wild(wood) - 🧺Potluck Picnic
DESCRIPTION:This hike is the perfect summer hike. It will require several stream crossings along the Arroyo Conejo and Wildwood Canyon Creek so wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet (if you don’t like walking on rocks); shorts recommended \nWe’ll visit the Wetlands and have a picnic lunch at shady Skunk Hollow\, a tree-lined area adjacent to a flowing creek with a picnic table. A nice little area. It will be almost all downhill to Skunk Hollow — \n🍴😋Bring some food and drink to share🥂 and your own utensils\, etc. \nWe’ll return to the cars via my secret trail and more stream crossings. Hike will be about 7 miles with 950 ft total ascent (it can be shortened to 5.5 miles and 600′ ascent with two less stream crossings if weather demands it) and rated MEDIUM. See Hike Rating Guide \nDIRECTIONS:\nPark and meet under the trailhead tree at the end of Calle Yucca. Please respect the residents’ peace 🤪

SUMMARY:🏖️🌊Beach Walk/Stairs - Point Dume Preserve - 🍹Happy Hour @ Sunset Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:The headlands\, cliffs\, trails\, and beaches of 63-acre Point Dume State Beach and Point Dume Natural Preserve make an exciting location for a day of exploring. Cliffs provide places for birds to roost. Over 100 types of birds are found here. Watch the sky for brown pelicans\, falcons\, and hawks. Other animals roam the park\, including coyotes\, raccoons\, rabbits\, and skunks. \nWe’ll start at free Zuma Beach and walk to Point Dume Beach where a trail leads up to an ancient coastal bluff sand dune with amazing views. From the summit we can look out to Santa Monica Bay\, along the Malibu coast\, and inland to the Santa Monica Mountains. In the distance Catalina Island is visible on clear days. \n🦈A boardwalk leads to an observation platform. We may spot sea lions\, harbor seals\, and dolphins swimming just offshore. It makes a great place to watch for whales during their annual migration\, anytime from December through March. \nAnother trail traverses off the eastern side of the bluff to a stairway that descends 100 feet to an isolated beach at Dume Cove. Tide pools await us if we can arrive at low tide. We’ll look for sea stars\, mussels\, crabs\, sea urchins anemones\, and perhaps even a shy octopus. \nWe’ll return to Sunset Restaurant via same stairs and along some alternate trails. Happy hour begins at 3pm \n“Hike” is about 3.5 miles with 500 feet total ascent and is rate Easy+ due to 100 foot climb up the gentle stairs. See HWD Hike Rating Guide \nDIRECTIONS\nPark for free on Westward Beach Rd We meet in front of the Sunset Restaurant

SUMMARY:Franklin Canyon - Journey to the Center of the City
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This HDW original is a classic. On this 6 mile hike I will take you through Franklin Canyon and then a bit off-trail to the “planar” center of Los Angeles. It will make a great photo opp. The first hill will be a workout\, but there is lots of shade on this one. Franklin Canyon Park is one of the very few places in LA with a greenbelt filled with pines\, sycamore\, eucalyptus and cedars\, most notably the Atlas Cedar and mature Coast Redwoods that are a rare site in most big cities. \n[asa2_collection tpl=”Flat_box_horizontal” orderby=”rand” limit=”1″]2[/asa2_collection] \nHighlights along the way to the center of the city: \nFranklin Canyon Lake:\nThe location where we see Opie skipping a rock in the water during the opening credits of The Andy Griffith Show and Capt. Kirk falling in love with an Indian maiden on Star Trek. \n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/dIf5xKdKGe0″ align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nThe Doheny House:\nThe family of oil baron Edward L. Doheny used the canyon as a summer retreat and a place to graze and water their cattle. The Doheny family built a Spanish style home here in 1935. \n \nHeavenly Pond:\nA small duck pond located to the west of the Franklin Canyon Lake. See the turtles? \n \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message]\nBring snacks and a quart of water. \nHere are some scenes from some popular TV shows and movies filmed at Franklin Canyon. Do you recognize any?\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”52893\,52892\,52891\,52890″ img_size=””][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nFor you music lovers\, here are a couple of albums covers photographed in Franklin Canyon:\n[vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”52897″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”52896″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column] \n  \nDirections – Parking is Free\nFrom West Los Angeles: \nHead north on Beverly Drive following signs to Coldwater Canyon.
