We had hiked all around this area but never over to the ranch, so today we thought we would do something different. So many films and TV series have been filmed here.
The entire Ranch was burned down in the 2018 Woolsey fire. Some of these buildings were built in the 50's, very sad.

The town is swallowing me up!
The hiking trails.

This is a very special area for hiking out on the Pear Blossom Highway that has some very unique rock formations.

We were looking for a coastal hike that we had not done, and we found this one. It only got 3 stars on Hikespeak.com, but off we went.

This hike took us up La Jolla Canyon Trail, which headed up from the parking lot to La Jolla Canyon and then up the rock falls to the trails beyond.

Always looking for a challenge, we decided to travers the entire length of the Verdugo Mountain range in one day. It would require two cars, one at each end. The hike was special and quite unique. I doubt that many hike the entire length.

We decided on this short hike up Devils Canyon today, but out of nowhere these guys showed up. But they were very peaceful.

This was our EPIC hike from Solidad Canyon Rd into Vasquez Rocks, 8.9 miles of amazing hiking. I always wanted to hike from Soledad over to Vasquez. It gave us more of an adventure than just driving to Vasquez Rocks. Don't get me wrong, Vasquez is the goal, where they filmed so many movies and TV shows, from the Flintstones to Star Trek, but this gave the day a purpose.

We wanted to hike the back side of our own mountains, so we drove over to Santa Clarita and had our way with the trails in the Placenta Canyon Nature Center. We hiked to the very top and did the loop, then Omid had to leave and Marv and I hiked over to a dry waterfall. At 60 years old, Marv took on the tire swing!

Obama getting his ass kicked on the Bridge to Nowhere. Had to bring masks, it was Halloween! This is a 10 mile epic hike to see the bridge.

We hiked over to the Cave of the Munits to see if we could get a blessing!

Omid, Marv, and I wanted to hiking every last inch of this park, and so we did. From Paradise Falls, to the cave, to the teepee, up to look over into Santa Rosa, and back to the car. What an amazing day of hiking!

We started this hike at Malibu Creek State Park, then hiked up challenging Bull Dog and hooked up with Mesa Peak Motorway, which is old Back Bone Trail, and then down to Malibu Canyon Road. 11 miles in 100 degrees temps made this a VERY rough day, but we got to take shelter near the meditation rock formation.

What a great day hiking over to Eagle Rock and trying to traverse the side with the tree on it.

I took Kia and a gaggle of her friends out to Parker Mesa Overlook for a night hike. We saw some snakes and a bunch of wild life, and you could see the planes lining up to land at LAX. Nov 30th 2011

This car must have been from an old TV show or movie, but artists have had their way with it over the years.

Omid and I road over to the Mash Unit in Malibu Creek State Park, and then up Bull Dog to the old abandoned house. 28 miles of aggressive riding. Malibu Creek State Park is like the Yosemite of the south.

When Kia was maybe 13 we visited the Grand Canyon for the first time and hiked a mile down Bright Angeles Trail. The walls were so high that I asked Kia to sing so that her voice would bounce off the walls for all to hear! I vowed that we would return and hike across the entire canyon.
