What we’re about
Our vision is to create a network of outdoors enthusiasts to share our adventures, to learn from, to have fun with, and to create life long friends. We hike in the Santa Monica Mountains. This is a non profit organization and we will be donating back to the community by having beach cleanups. Our group is also committed to protecting the special places we hike. Our new conservation effort seeks to protect threatened areas in the local mountains through fun and easy actions we can take. Have fun Hiking and hope to see you soon!

See all- 🌊🌳⛰️ SUNDAY FUNDAY! HIKE TO A DAM WATERFALL! 🍃⛅️🏞️brown mountain dam water fall, Altadena, CA
Brown Mountain Dam Waterfall. Although it's roughly 8 miles, the hike is relatively easy with little elevation gain. There will be some shallow stream crossings, shaded woods, sometimes a deer and of course, a lovely dam waterfall. 😀
- TIMING: Roughly 4.5 hours roundtrip for the hike including breaks. We generally head out 15 minutes after the official start time. Dinner following is optional and not included in the official time.
- DISTANCE: ~8 miles. Note: I am checking out a shorter (5.5 mile) route and may change the starting point and distance.
- ELEVATION: 672 ft
- MEETING LOCATION: Meet in parking lot. Look for the BIG group of people.
- PARKING: Free Parking in the lot, no permit required.
- RESTROOMS: No restrooms other than a primitive restroom 2 miles in along the route (BYO-TP!) (So at mile 2 and mile 6).
- DOGS: Friendly dogs on leash ok. However, it will be warm (85-90) and that is generally too warm for our furry friends, especially on a long hike. Check out this article for more info.
- CELL RECEPTION: There is limited cell reception. If you try to reach out on the app near the start time we may not be able to respond.
- WHAT TO BRING: BRING 3 LITERS OF WATER, A HAT, SUNSCREEN, COMFORTABLE SHOES, SNACKS, ELECTROLYTES, WATER SHOES (optional). You may want to bring a change of shoes and socks for the car in case your feet get wet.
- NOTE: It will be warm! There is a lot of shade but please dress and plan accordingly.
DINNER - HomeState
