"It’s hard to pick a more iconic Los Angeles hike than Sandstone Peak in the Santa Monica Mountains. It has phenomenal coastal and canyon views, interesting geological features and eye-popping wildflowers in the spring. And it’s a great workout. There are plenty of ways to enjoy Sandstone, but for a more gradual ascent and the most rewarding scenery, take the classic Mishe Mokwa loop. As you ascend, views of the dramatic sandstone Echo Cliffs over a ravine draw you in (you may see rock climbers scaling the walls — it’s a popular spot with more than 200 routes). You’ll also find two popular geological sites: Balanced Rock, a wicked rock formation that seems to be truly defying gravity, and Split Rock, where you’ll often find hikers trying to squeeze through the cracks. Continuing on, you’ll run into Tri-Peaks, a summit with a rocky outcropping (which can be tacked onto your hike via a quick 1-mile out-and-back if you’re craving more), and another short spur trail that leads you to Inspiration Point. Continue onto Sandstone and find incredible views, a rock that makes for a perfect picnic spot and a plaque honoring W. Herbert Allen, who donated many acres of land including nearby Circle X Ranch. (Mt. Allen is Sandstone Peak’s alternate name — in the 1960s, the Boy Scouts tried to change the name officially but Allen was still alive at the time and a policy prohibited naming geological features after a living person.) Enjoy the view — at 3,111 feet, you’ve made it to the tallest peak in the Santa Monica Mountains. Park in the dirt Sandstone Peak trailhead lot just off Yerba Buena Road, east of Circle X Ranch.

"Sandstone Peak is the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains and the 6.1 mile-long Mishe Mokwa Trail is a must-do for outdoors lovers looking to get out of the big smoke. Don’t worry – it’s not too strenuous. Expect dramatic vistas and photo-opps galore in return for your efforts. "
