One of our most popular hikes is back! Join us for this beautiful, easy hike led by WOAR Board Members Faith and Jen.
Sunday, October 15
9:30am
In addition to a rare polo field, renown ranch house, and a lawn that begs to be picnicked on, Will Rogers State Historic Park has plenty to offer to hikers. This is the eastern end of the 65-mile long Backbone Trail, which crosses the Santa Monica Mountains all the way to Point Mugu, and Will Rogers is also home to a delightful short hike to a popular overlook. The loop to Inspiration Point is 2.5 miles long with 325 feet of elevation gain. The gradual hike delivers far-reaching views from Santa Monica Bay to downtown LA. Bring water, snacks and wear sunscreen. Dogs on leash are OK.
Rain within 24 hours of hike cancels.
