Hike Temescal Canyon Trail

Love it up here on a clear day. Today was November 11, 2023, temperature at 80 and little wind. One benefit of this park on a hot day is there is shade if you stay on the south trail head. Plenty of shade through much of the ascent to one of the most spectacular full view of the Santa Monica Bay, bonus Catalina 🏝️.

Went on a long beautiful hike 2/12/24 on the trail the view was pretty nice on the ridge and the waterfall was cool. Some sketchy fallen paths from mudslides. Our car was broken into they stole my cards from my wallet and left my wallet and someone tried to buy $1700 worth of lululemon fat phobic leggings down the street. Thankfully my bank caught it. If you ever do the trail hide or take your belongings. Our car was locked and they completely broke the key hole on the door. My wallet was hidden but not good enough I guess. They did only take all my cards and left the wallet and cash where it was.

This is a wonderful place to hike. One of my favorite hiking experiences! We like taking a more challenging incline on the way up and having a more gentle descent as it's easier on the joints. Went up the stairs and a right to Temescal Ridge Trail, took the connection to the waterfall and came down Temescal Canyon Trail, which was gentler inclines that were more shaded. This was a perfect two hour experience. Not too much brush when we went. Gorgeous waterfall. Highly recommend.

This is one of the BEST places I've hiked so far. Definitely challenging. I went up on the steep side and it really gets the wind out of you. Doing the loop and also going up to Skull rock was about 5 and half miles. The view at the top made it all worth it. Still more to explore so definitely will come back!! Feb 21, 2023 it was beautiful to finally see a little waterfall here.

Very nice park with a lot of hiking trails nearby. All of the trees are so interesting to look at.
