SUMMARY:Mishe Mokwa Funky Sculpture Fun Time - Backbone Trail.
DESCRIPTION:Intermediate/Advanced Hike! \nBust out your Trekking Poles and boots with good traction! \nDESCRIPTION: This is not a trail for the faint of heart\, there are also some technical spots with some mild scrambling. Trekking poles are highly recommended. This is about a 6-mile loop that will feel more like 10 when you’re done. The Backbone Trail isn’t just a walk in the park—it’s more like a rollercoaster ride with Mother Nature at the controls. We will be zigzagging our way through the Santa Monica Mountains\, dodging bushes\, and scrambling over beat-up uneven trails. Why would we do such a thing? Epic views of the Pacific and nature’s version of abstract art and yet another view called “Inspiration Point”. \nHike leader volunteers: Paul Huskey. Gary Sande. \nMeet: at the trailhead at 8:00 am\, departure at 8:15 am sharp. \nDistance: 6 miles \nElevation gain: 1\,354 ft \nTime: ~ 3.5 hours hiking with one snack break \nConditioning: you need to be in generally good physical condition\, able to keep a 2 MPH pace uphill we will be moving. \nDogs: OK as long as they are well-behaved and on leash. \nRestrooms – There was an Andy Gump at the trailhead when I went a month ago\, not sure if that is still the case\, so plan accordingly. \nAdventure Pass: Not Required \nWARNINGS:\nA lot of this hike is along narrow switchbacks on the side of the Mountain and is not recommended with anyone with a fear of heights.\nESSENTIAL GEAR: You will be emailed a full list of Recommended Hiking Gear\, but these are essential for this hike” \n\nHiking shoes/boots and Poles.\nLayers recommended.
