Our hike ends at the 1970s filming site of the very popular sitcom M*A*S*H. However, along the way we will walk past the many other filming locations, including Planet of the Apes, How Green Was My Valley, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid to name just a few. Besides film history it is a beautiful trail along Malibu Creek with many sections lined with a canopy of native Oaks, Sycamores, and Bays. The trail starts at Las Virgenes Creek and continues along Malibu Creek. If you did this hike with us this summer it is worth doing again.
Bring: Ten Essentials, 2 to 3 liters of water, lunch, snacks, sun protection, hat. Consider layered clothing and hiking poles. Please Carry Emergency Contact Information (ICE). Sturdy hiking footwear and adequate drinking water required.
