We'll hike uphill from the intersection of Bienveneda Avenue and Via Floresta to the Temescal Ridge fireroad, continue another half mile to the Skull rocks and caves--yes, there are a bunch to play on and in. PLAYING ON THE ROCKS IS OPTIONAL. YOU CAN JUST SIT AND ENJOY THE VIEW. Then we drop down into Temescal canyon to the conference center area and take a quick loop back to our starting point
DISTANCE: ABOUT 6 MILES, elevation gain: about 2 light-years. OK, I don't know, I'm too lazy to look it up
OK, after some pestering, I looked it up: from the start, we gain 750 feet to Skull Rock using the Leacock trail and Temescal Ridge. After we drop into Temescal Canyon, we gain 500 feet on the way from Temescal to Bienveneda. So that's at least 1/2 light years, right?.
CLOSEST DINNER SPOT THAT ACCOMODATES A LARGE GROUP: THE REEL INN (at Topanga Canyon and PCH)
