    My brother and I went to the hiking trail... it had a great veiw of the ocean and an even better view of downtown and hollywood ....

    I enjoyed the tree's fall colors, and over-covering trees that were growing over us... created a great hiking trip....

    Great hike! Waterfall was nice. Made the extra hike up to Skull Rock. Definitely worth it! Awesome views! We saw the snow caps, downtown LA, and the coastline down to Long Beach! - Rich - rating:4 stars - 2008-02-17

    Been doing this hike for over 3 years now and it’s always a treat. After a few days of rain the lush vegetation is gorgeous. After working up an appetite go to C&O Trattoria in Marina Del Ray for a great meal. - Acid Jazz - rating:4 stars - 2008-01-26

    Went on New Year's Day. Very popular and friendly people. Skull Rock looked extra steep compared to an already steep trail. Very easy to get to and great views. - Kristin - rating:4 stars - 2008-01-07

    I did this one during summer and the waterfall was a small leak. The view at the top was nice, and there are several spots along the trail for you to stop and enjoy the view. I didn't visit Skull Rock. - Frank - rating:4 stars - 2007-08-27

    I did this hike on a warm spring day and it was goregous! The waterfall was flowing, the creek was full, and I was able to find a few salamanders. Skull Rock was worth the extra hike and made a great place to stop for lunch. - Kyle - rating:5 stars - 2006-05-31

    A super popular hike! Take the steep route up, and return via the waterfall. Adding on Skull Rock turns the hike into 5 miles. See the Official Map for more details. Beautful views! - Candice - rating:5 stars - 2006-02-15
