Sandstone Peak, Santa Monica Mtns

Saturday I went out for a hike and decided to try a new trail with my brothers dog Todd. Using my new handheld GPS I headed down Hwy 1 and up into the mountains to Sandstone Peak.

The Peak, Mt Allen, is at 3111 feet and offers awesome morning views. You could see at least 5 of the Channel Islands, all this and it's December!

Taken on top of Mt Allen, Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands in the backgroud.


Just some great views and I can not wait to come back up here, but for now I am trying to load up my GPS with as many waypoints and tracks as possible. So no repeats for a while.

Mishe Mokwa Trail sits in the valley created by Boney Mountain and Sandstone Peak; one of the unique views is Balance Rock.

Get out and enjoy our bounties!
