| Hike Summary: | This is a pretty easy hike, on a nice cool day. When the temperature is above 90 degrees, it can be a little difficult. We are not 100% sure, but it had to be 100 degrees when we were there. There is some rocky points and some parts of the trail with water damage, but over-all the trail is in great condition. The Mishe Mokwa trail is a 5 mile hike at a gradual incline. There are quite a few shady spots which helped in the heat. At the one mile mark, you come across Split Rock. This provides a nice flat, shaded area with a picnic table for a quick break. The rock is pretty facinating and is fun to climb. Awesome, breathtaking views await at the top. Sandstone Peak is the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains and has a wonderful view. |
