May / spring is the best to see wild flowers blooming. This year, 2022, we saw so many beautiful spices of butterflies 🦋.
If you are lucky enough you can see the Ocean from a top. We got mountains covered by moisture and cloud layers. It was very cool.
Stay on the trail and enjoy your hike.
Love/hate relationship with this trail. Biggest issues is lack of closed trail signs on one end and finding it on the other side, if you made it in one piece. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes, it’s just too rugged and sometimes it’s wonderful and the exact peace you seek. Like I said, love/hate. The other beauty is how much exploration there is within, spread your wings and discover a new path, every time you step in!
Not crazy about this trail entry due to its relative accessibility and popularity (top of Reseda, with plenty of parking, so lots of hikers and bikers). However, it does provide good access to a number of different single track trails that branch off of dirt Mulholland. Posting pics here from some of those local trails, which are all easily reachable from this spot.
Dirt Mulholland on either side of the top of Reseda is closed due to the January fires. You can go off towards the left and head down towards the top of Caballero Canyon, but you can’t go any further than that because the road is closed
Great and vast hiking and mountain cycling area – only true althletes! Plenty of trails and free parking (below yellow line!) The fires had scorched a good part of these Santa Monica mountains this January. Luckily, parts of them have started to re-grow:-)
