Another great hike brought to you by The Weekday Hikers
O’Melveny Park spreads over 672 acres, second on the list of largest parks within the City of Los Angeles, right after the much-more-spacious Griffith Park. Noted for its picture-perfect picnic grounds with white fences and towering eucalyptus trees, O’Melveny Park also challenges hikers with several miles of steep, backcountry fire roads and primitive trails. Our hike here (five miles, with an elevation gain and loss of about 1500 feet) constitutes a comprehensive walking tour that includes wandering through grasslands, a high point in the Santa Susana Mountains known as Mission Point and down into steep and shady Bee Canyon .
After the hike we'll have a potluck picnic. Bring a cooler and leave food/drink in car until after hike
