Backbone trail to Newton and Zuma falls from Kanan Dume Road--4 miles

TWO WATERFALLS IN THE CENTRAL SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS, ABOUT 4 MILES WITH ABOUT 200 FEET LOSS AND GAIN ON THE HIKE

We've been getting rain this week, so maybe we'll get wet!

We'll climb down to the bottom of Newton Falls first, it's a short, maybe tenth of a mile off the BBT, pose for a lot of pictures, then we take the BBT two miles to the north and take a spur trail to Zuma falls. These falls are rocky, multi tiers and you have to keep an eye out for the poison oak.
