Local tip: The views make this one of the most beautiful hikes in Malibu, but don’t try this hike unless you’re sure-footed. If you’re on the hunt for more of the steepest hiking trails in Malibu, also check out Los Leones Trail above. You’re going to be sore the next day, but those ocean views at the peak are definitely worth every second of pain. There’s a rather tricky 1,246 ft incline that calls for good shoes and hiking poles. There, you’ll find Mugu Peak Trail, a 2.7-mile loop trail that will kick your ass. If you’re looking for a challenge, head to Point Mugu State Park. Mugu Point trail will still be open and accessible by parking in the La Jolla Canyon parking lot and heading out on the Ray Miller Trail. This trail can be hot and there is very limited shade.bring adequate water and sunblock The drive to the trail is a twisty/windy road, it was a great drive. Note: The Sycamore Canyon entrance to Point Mugu State Park will be closed from February 21 to Mawhile the road is being paved. Length: 2.7 miles | Elevation Gain: 1,246 ft | Trail Guide | Hardįeatures: Ocean views, steep incline, rock scramble
