Santa Monica Mountains

Yesterday afternoon Aaron, Minh (friend from Austin who was visiting) and I headed to the Santa Monica Mountains for a hike. The weather was perfect - sunny with a chill in the air. I somehow missed one of the turns and we ended up scaling the canyon rather than the nice stroll we had envisioned. After about 45 mins of a nearly vertical climb through a very poorly cleared 'path', we made it to the top and enjoyed the views of the entire LA basin. We only had to trade 2 pairs of sunglasses, a torn shirt, and a torn pair of pants for our safety. Luckily we didn't have to come down the same way we went up.
