For a truly magical hiking experience, you’ll love the gorgeous Escondido Falls. The word “Escondido” means “hidden” in Spanish, and you’ll see that this lovely trail is worth being uncovered! Located in the Santa Monica Mountain valley in Malibu, Escondido Falls is the ideal place to get away from the busy city life of Los Angeles.

The trail is 3.7 miles long and is a generally easy route. It will take you and your group about an hour and a half to complete, so it’s a great choice for a hike that will make your day without taking up too much time.
