Our hike will begin at sea level in Corral Canyon, the last undeveloped coastal canyon in Los Angeles County that flows freely to the ocean. We will then leave Corral Canyon for my "secret trail" through pristine wilderness to the Puerco Canyon watershed divide that provides spectacular ocean and mountain views. We'll return to the restaurant via another secret trail

No beginners. Hike is about 4.5 miles, with two interconnected loops and about 1200 ft elevation gain. An option will kick this up to 6 miles with another loop and another few hundred feet gain. It will depend on weather

After the hike we'll have lunch next door at Malibu Seafood Patio. Kitchen opens at 11:00 AM. Maybe we'll spot some dolphins frolicking in the waves, or some celebrities.

They let you bring your own beverages including booze. So pack a cooler with your favorite beverage and enjoy a fresh seafood lunch by the trailhead -- you will deserve it! I'll bring some white wine.

Bring sunscreen, hat, 2 quarts water, sturdy shoes and a snack. Clothing optional.

There is street parking on PCH, $5.00 exact change in lot next to restaurant at the iron ranger.
