The recent good cold weather is perfect for hiking on this trail. There are lush canyons and it is only one mile from the Pacific Ocean.Hiking to the summit, looking out from the 1525-foot peak, you can see the magnificent San Bernardino Mountains and the sparkling Santa Monica Bay in the sun.
But the whole journey is more than 7 steps, although the road is very easy to walk, but it is still a bit tired to walk the whole journey!Get up while the temperature is not high~ Remember to bring a kettle~
🚶Intermediate hiking route🚶

Special recommendation: potato chip rock
Trail address: Mount Woodson Trail, Poway, CA 92064
The trail where Potato Chip Rocks is located is on the way from Los Angeles to San Diego. It is a one-way 4-mile hiking route from Lake Poway. Although you can overlook Lake Poway along the way, the scenery is also good, but if you go in summer, most of the distance is really sunny. It takes four hours to go back and forth.
The two-hour mountain road has no special scenery. There are large and small rocks along the way. The road is also a dirt road. It is not recommended that you wear expensive shoes and light-colored shoes.But after you reach the end, take a group of creative photos on the thin potato chip rocks. One of the nine thrilling places in the world will make you feel tired and worth it!

If you want to explore, you must walk Bridge to Nowhere once.The "signature" bridge on this trail was built in 1930, but was later abandoned due to the impact of flash floods.I want to finish this 10-foot trail, but I need to use both hands and feet to climb up and down, and I have to cross several streams and rivers to complete the task!
Especially in winter, the water is really cold and the water level is high. Hiking is definitely a harsh challenge at this time!Before you go, everyone has to buy an adventure pass for $5. Remember to put it on the front windshield of the car when you reach the destination.Remember to wear wading + climbing equipment, change clothes, and bring hiking sticks.

Trail address: Escondido Canyon Trail, Malibu, CA 90265
Escondido Falls is the highest waterfall in the Santa Monica Mountains. Every weekend, many hikers will challenge this 3.8-mile hiking route.It started with an uphill road, then a dirt road, and finally reached below the waterfall.Sounds easy, right?
But in fact, the real challenge starts with the trail of only 150 feet at the end: because it is slippery and steep, you need to climb rocks or step on tree roots to reach the top of the waterfall.But standing at the top of the beautiful double-layer waterfall, you will definitely feel that your hard work is worth it~ Climbing the top of the waterfall here will have a great view~
