Tough Trek
Having tried some of your suggested day hikes, my husband Karl and I looked forward to your Santa Monica Mountains, Garapito Canyon, Bay Tree trails (“Hiking,” Nov. 24, 1991) with much enthusiasm.
However, from the beginning of Garapito Canyon Trail it took us an hour and 20 minutes to reach the Eagle Spring Loop. Karl and I are in top physical shape, but it was a very long hike and when we reached the Eagle Spring Loop, we were both tired. It took us 2 1/2 hours to complete the shortest circle possible. No way was this a “moderate” hike, as labeled.
As you can see, we save these cutouts . . . Please publish more local trails.
