It was 2 years ago we hiked up Hongdo Canyon located in Topanga Canyon. I always remember how beautiful it was. Most part of the trail were shaded by trees. And at the point going up to the overlook, the ocean view showed up all of sudden and gave a great surprise.

I wanted to hike there again. We decided to go there on Saturday morning.
After we walked out of the canyon, instead of go up the overlook trail again, this time we climbed up a off road trail which was so steep that needed to use both hands. We saw some spiky bushes with beautiful pink wild flowers that we’ve never seen before. Fortunatelly there’s another way going onto overloook trail so we didn’t to go down the same place.

We had 8 mile 2000 ft escalation up.
