Join us and the small animals and birds of La Jolla Canyon on this loop hike with panoramic views of coastline and The Channel Islands. Flower blooms in the spring are phenomenal. One of the the main attractions are large swaths of native California grassland — some of the last remaining unspoiled areas in the state.

Because of the continued closure of the canyon trail up to the waterfall we are going to do this in a special way.

Direction to trailhead

We will be meeting on the corner at the La Jolla Canyon entrance. There is some free parking on both sides of PCH. If you have to park inside the Park there is an iron ranger that accepts credit cards, or maybe even a human at the gate.

From Los Angeles, after a long and relaxing drive down the Pacific Coast Highway (22 miles past Malibu Canyon), you’ll enter Ventura County, pass the so-called “Great Sand Dune” and arrive at La Jolla Canyon. Find a parking spot...we meet on on ocean side of PCH

From Ventura: La Jolla Canyon entrance is a couple miles after Las Posas. Park on either side of PCH 9 (or in Park). We meet on ocean side of PCH

Bring hat, sunscreen, plenty of water and snacks.
