A ‘secret’ spot in Malibu Creek State Park offers a refreshing break, plus a look into the bears of California and our duty to them.
I’m still on a find-a-refreshing-hike-to-beat-the-heat kick. Last week I wrote about the glorious chill factor of ais a bit of a cheat. It’s not a natural water hole , but the shady path to it and the incomparable big-rock vistas are the real deal — and oh-so soothing. At 9 a.m. last Sunday, I was the only person there to savor the quiet coolness.
In 1903, rich Angelenos created the dam and lake as a fishing and hunting preserve for members of a country club. The club flourished for a while but eventually went belly up. In 1946, 20th Century Fox Studios bought the lake and a big swath of land to film movies, hence the name.To call this a “secret” spot is a bit of a cheat too. Insiders who know the park well — mountain bikers, horseback riders, trail runners, hikers and fun lovers — will roll their eyes.
Here’s the quickest way to remedy that: Drive to Malibu Creek State Park , take the main Crags Road Trail about a mile and a half — most of the route is shaded by oaks with a bit of uphill — until you reach a side trail to the lake. It’s that simple.1. A bucket-list railbike tour through Northern California’s redwood forest.Christopher Reynolds took a 3.5-mile spin
through redwood trees on the old Skunk Train rail tracks near Fort Bragg, Calif. He wrote: “To pedal the rails at Fort Bragg, you book a trip, show up at the station, settle into a vehicle, don a helmet and seat belt, pedal through four downtown intersections and pass a cemetery. Then suddenly you’re in the woods, hearing only birdsong and the gentle hum of wheels on tracks.
