Whether you are a first time or avid hiker, our team of experienced guides will take you away from the city and onto some of the most beautiful trails in the country. Join us for an adventure and we’ll show you that the best views of the ocean aren’t the ones that you find from the beach. Our team is one of the few outfitters in the greater Los Angeles area that is permitted to lead hiking trips in the Santa Monica National Wilderness Area. Most of our favorite routes depart from Zuma Canyon, but we individually plan every trip based on the goals and ability levels of guests.

Q&A

Q: What age range is best for the Santa Monica Mountains hike? Can kids join?

A: The hike is great for kids aged 10 and up, but younger kids can join if they're able to handle the trails. Just keep in mind that some sections can be steep, so it helps if they have some hiking experience. Also, let the guide know about the kids when you book, and they can tailor the experience a bit.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the hike?

A: If the weather is really bad, the guides will usually contact you to reschedule or cancel. They prioritize safety, so if it’s too rainy or windy, it’s best to play it safe. Make sure you check the policy when you book; they typically offer flexibility with rescheduling due to weather.

Q: Is parking easy near Zuma Canyon for the hike?

A: Parking at Zuma Canyon can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends. There’s a small lot, so arriving early is key! If it’s full, you might need to park along the road, but just make sure you’re parked legally to avoid tickets. The guides usually send out all the info you need before your hike, so keep an eye out for that.

Just did the Santa Monica Mountains hike and it was amazing!

Hey everyone! I recently went on the Santa Monica Mountains guided hike and it totally blew my mind. We started from Zuma Canyon, and the views were just stunning! Our guide was super knowledgeable and tailored the hike to our group’s skill levels. We even got a delicious lunch included. I gifted this experience to my partner for our anniversary, and it was the best decision ever!

Thinking about gifting the Santa Monica Mountains hike!

Hey all! I’m considering this hike as a gift for my sister who loves nature but isn’t super experienced. Do you think it’d be too challenging for her? Also, how’s the lunch part—are there options for dietary restrictions?
