Temescal Canyon Hike

So I am playing catch-up here a little bit.  Did this hike last Sunday with my friend Laura.  We were trying to go to Will Rogers, but both of us neglected to look up specific directions.  So we were driving down Sunset and saw a sign for a trail and followed it into this neighborhood with some huge homes. We followed the trail and it ended up on what I think is the Backbone trail.
 
  
Unfortunately it wasn't as clear that day as it has been, so the views weren't as spectacular as they could have been.  The trail was also pretty crowded.  I really liked this rock formation and I did some climbing to get a better look at it.
 
And I also found my future home, complete with private tennis court and pool
 
All in all it was a good hike. Probably about 4 or 5 miles.  It was a little crowded and not as much of the nature as I prefer, but some good views for sure.

  1. Not intending to make you homesick, but you can find even grander rocks like these at Salt Point and even grander in New Zealand. The rock you profiled looks like a greywacke, a sedimentary rock weathered by the winds.But not knowing the geology of the area, it could be something else. The rocks at Salt Point and in NZ have more defined shapes. But weren't you interested in adventures in LA? I'll ask my inlaws for some! Good to hear what you are up to. Cheers, Brooke

  2. Hi Brooke!
    Oh I'm sure these pale in comparison to New Zealand. I didn't know you were so knowledgable about geology. I would love some suggestions for adventures in LA! Hope all is well! - Andrew
