i needed some fresh air sunday (too much desk work this week had found its way into the weekend.) and the girls were sure to benefit from it too. so pleased to get the call from my dear friend to hit the road and take in one of his favorite local hikes... (i can't believe we hadn't been before.)
malibu creek state park is 7000 acres of spectacular scenery just a few miles from home. there's the creek, plenty of beautiful old oaks, a swimming hole, and lovely canyon vistas. well-known and visited for the prominent role it has played in many movies, the park also features a wonderful hands on nature center where you can explore the local flora and fauna up close. we made it close - but not quite - to the swimming hole. we will definitely be back.
Malibu Creek State Park
1925 Las Virgenes Road
Calabasas, CA 91302
Neighborhood: Calabasas
Proximity: 13 miles
Hike length: about 3 miles
Bonus features: nature center, M.A.S.H. set, swimming hole
Tips: While the weather was perfect, I am still glad we brought hats and plenty of water. No dogs allowed. Lots of horses, cyclists, and hikers. Nature Center open noon to 4:00 Saturdays and Sundays. Not a place to get away from people, per se, but a great spot to reconnect with nature.

K: The hike was amazing. 10/10. I loved climbing on the trees and visiting the Nature Center. It was amazing to see how many movies were made in the area.
E: Well, IDK. That's all then. 8/10.
