[hike] to a high point

On a lovely Sunday in February, my husband and I ventured out to a part of the Santa Monica mountains to hike up the highest point in the Santa Monica mountains, to Sandstone Peak. We did a shorter trail, it was pretty rocky and became quite sheer towards the top. The views were amazing! Worth the effort up. I did manage to lose my footing a couple of times so I think hiking shoes are a worthy investment to avoid the bruises from falling!

At the beginning of the trail.

Somewhere close to the top of the trail.

Looking over the cliff at the top.

Loved the view of the rolling hills and winding road as we made our way down.

Nice to be back at the car to rest the tired feet and look up at our accomplishment!
