We decided to hike on July 4. The Chumash Trail starts on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu and goes straight up--almost 900 feet with no switchbacks. The Chumash Indians used this trail as long as 7000 years ago to go from the ocean to where they lived in the valley.
On the way up the trail you can see the Mugu Lagoon in the distance

Once we got to the top of the Chumash Trail, we descended into the La Jolla Valley. This is a protected area as it is one of the last areas of native California grassland
Boney Ridge in the distance
The grass was as tall as me!
Our July 4th tradition is to go to the top of a tall parking garage so we get to see multiple firework displays. We always take Riley with us so he doesn't get scared! As you can see, we also got a bad sunburn on that hike!
