Two more fantastic blog entries to feast your eyes on. This time, hikes in Temescal and La Jolla Canyon. Featuring lizards, rocks shaped like skulls and even more stupendous views. The hiking bug has well and truly taken hold...
Temescal Canyon.
A 5.5mile loop starting just off Sunset Blvd.
 |
| The trail was very busy, thankfully on the way down and not up. |
 |
| Lizards scurried across the trail path. This was one of the smaller ones. |
 |
| The trail leads to 'Skull Rock' |
 |
| The view from beside the 'skull' |
 |
| Looking down on Pacific Palisades |
 |
| Skull Rock was eerie and magnificent |
La Jolla Canyon
This 6 mile loop trail starts further up the coastline, at the very western end of the Santa Monica Mountains. So different to Temescal Canyon, with wide grassy plains and very few hikers.
 |
| The trail took us through a cool and shady canyon |
 |
| The mountains stretched far behind us |
 |
| Grassy plains...we're a bit early for spring wildflower season so may go back sometime |
 |
| Sweeping views of the ocean on our way back to the start |
