Hike is at Charmlee Wilderness Park, 590 acres of the best of the Santa Monica Mountains Coastal Slope environment. The park includes picnic areas, eight miles of hiking trails, native plant displays, and a nature center.
Join us for an easy 4 mile loop hike through rolling hills, shady oak trees, rocks and the ranch house ruins.
Many of the plants that grow here are edible!
There's a couple of areas of rocks to climb, and a shady area to sit and watch while we monkeys climb the rocks
BRING A GUITAR OR TAMBOURINE IF YOU WANNA JAM WITH ME ON THE HIKE. BRING EARPLUGS IF HIKING AND SINGING DRIVES YOU NUTS.
