September 19, 2010

Moderately-paced , 5-mile round-trip, 800-feet gain scenic hike along
the Garapito trail in the Santa Monica Mountains to a rock outcropping
where you can see in all directions. The hike starts along the

meanders through some light brush to Mulholland dirt road. Taking the

a port-a-potty at the top. About a 1/2 mile later, there is a very
scenic rock-cropping where we can rest and gaze out at the beautiful
panoramic scenery on all four sides. We may see deer or rabbits.
