For My Next Peak . . .

After work (that's Friday a.m.), I'm going to attack another summit of the Santa Monica Mountains. Once again, I'm staying close to home. This time, I'm going to visit Temescal Peak in Topanga State Park. I'm going to enter from Reseda, and generally follow the path of my last trip up there with [livejournal.com profile] cramerica. I'm going to start in Marvin Braude, and head into Topanga SP using the Temescal Fire Trail. This time, I'll take the Garapito Trail south to Eagle Rock. From there, I'll head east to the Hub Junction. Temescal Peak is right near there, and I'm going to climb up. I come back up north using the Temescal Fire Road and the Bent Arrow Trail.

Someone else has used this same trail, and he reckons it's about 7.5 miles. With the detour up to Temescal, I'm guessing about 8.

I'm hoping to leave at about 9 a.m. Let's hope it stays cool again today.
