Last Sunday I finally took that Backbone Trail hike that I've been gearing up to (the one where you hike one way, and then take the Park Link Shuttle back to your car). Given the limit of three photo sets with my free flickr account I've tagged the photos as backbonetrail.
Hike Stats:
- Distance
- 12 miles one way
- Time
- 5 1/2 hours
- Depart/Return
- 9:00am / 2:30pm
- Elevation Gain
- lots (for the Santa Monica Mountains anyway)
- Location
- Santa Monica Mountains Backbone Trail, from Tapia Park to Kanan Road.
- Misadventure
- Encountered a female bobcat and what could have been a coral snake but might have just been an imitator (digital camera wasn't fast enough to catch it). Got a bit of a late start so I took the hard direction, from low elevation along the road to Malibu to high elevation up on Kanan Dume Road. By the end I had sweat dripping down my hands, and boy did my legs ache Tuesday morning.
