This was our first time going up to Sandstone Peak to see the sunset over the Channel Islands and the full moon rise over L.A.
My favorite place almost anywhere. Better than Hawaii......... We then hikes out by way of balancing rock, without flashlights, just using the light of the moon.We made it 30 minutes before sunset

There is a rock and a path at the far end of the peak where it is cool to sit and take each others pictures
