 5 miles, 500' gain, Beginner This hike is a great trail for beginners because all the elevation gain is distributed.

An HWD Classic! http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/1/3/6/600_331189462.jpeg During the 1950s, when Ronald Reagan hosted TV's "Death Valley Days," he wanted a more rural retreat than his home in Pacific Palisades. So he bought a 305-acre ranch in the hills of Malibu as a place to raise thoroughbred horses and dubbed it "Yearling Row." http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/4/6/a/600_331190282.jpeg Reagan Ranch (1957-1967), now […] |
