Hooked on Hiking - Ann Marie Brown

POINT MUGU STATE PARK

DISTANCE: 5.5 miles round-trip

HIKING TIME: 2.5 hours or overnight

SEASON: year-round

DIFFICULTY: moderate

This loop in bucolic La Jolla Canyon makes a great day-hike or easy backpacking trip, with spring wildflowers and year-round coastal views. The route begins on a wide gated road at the trailhead, then climbs gently to a wet-season waterfall at 0.8 mile out. The canyon narrows as you ascend, and at 1.2 miles, go right at the fork (left will be the return of your loop) on La Jolla Valley Loop Trail. The trail levels out and meanders to a second junction, where you go left and wander past a small tule- and cattail-lined duck pond.

Shortly beyond the pond, you’ll arrive at La Jolla Valley walk-in camp. Campsites are hidden among clumps of tall coastal sage scrub. Mariposa lilies, morning glories, monkeyflower, brodiaea, paintbrush, and blue-eyed grass surround you. From the camp, bear left on a dirt road, the continuation of La Jolla Valley Loop Trail; it soon narrows to a double-track path through the grass. Continue straight past the next few junctions to finish out your loop where the path rejoins La Jolla Canyon Trail. Go right to head back to your car.

From U.S. 101 in Agoura Hills, exit at Kanan Rd. and drive 12.5 miles to Hwy. 1/Pacific Coast Hwy. on the Malibu coast. Turn west (right) and drive 14.8 miles to the La Jolla Canyon trailhead parking area on the right (1.0 mile west of Big Sycamore Canyon Campground).

ESCONDIDO CANYON NATURAL AREA

DISTANCE: 4.2 miles round-trip

HIKING TIME: 2.0 hours

SEASON: year-round

DIFFICULTY: easy

The highest waterfall in the Santa Monica Mountains is accessible on this short and easy hike. Start at the Winding Way parking lot, just off Pacific Coast Hwy. It’s 1.0 mile on this paved road past fancy Malibu homes to the actual trailhead, but the payoff is a charming sylvan footpath in Escondido Canyon. At the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy sign, veer left, heading into the canyon.

Walk upstream, ignoring side trails and keeping close to the creek, which you’ll cross a half-dozen times. The level path is mostly shaded by leafy sycamore trees.

At 1.5 miles, you’ll spy the waterfall in the distance, tucked into a box canyon. Fifteen minutes later you’ll be standing at the base of the lower tier of Escondido Canyon’s limestone fall, admiring the moss and horsetail ferns. A couple of rope swings hang from a sycamore tree. The rotten-egg odor is sulfur from the nearby spring.

If you’re adventurous, don’t stop here. That big cataract you saw a half mile back is accessible by scrambling up a trail on the right side of the falls. A cautious 15-minute ascent will get you to the base of this 150-foot limestone tier. To return to your car, retrace your
