The L.A. Times will host its fourth subscriber hike at 9 a.m. May 24 on a 3.5-mile hike to Sycamore Canyon Falls.
Tucked away in Point Mugu State Park, Sycamore Canyon Falls is a multi-tier 55-foot waterfall near Newbury Park. And hopefully with recent rainfall, it'll still be flowing for us to enjoy.
There are multiple ways to reach the falls, but we will take the shortest and more direct way, starting in Rancho Sierra Vista/ Satwiwa in the Santa Monica Mountains. We'll start at the Wendy Trail and wind our way through the park before entering Point Mugu State Park. Because we're hiking through a state park, dogs aren't allowed on this hike.
L.A. Times outdoors reporter Jaclyn Cosgrove will lead a group of 30 subscribers to the falls, where we'll hang out, snap images and maybe even share a snack or two. This hike is moderate and requires good footwear.
Parking is free and easy. Please park at the Wendy Trail Head. We'll meet at the start of the trail there.
We will have water bottles for attendees but you’re also welcome to bring your own. You must be 18 or older and will be required to sign a waiver prior to attending.
