Set on the coast between Oxnard and Malibu, Point Mugu Peak is dressed to impress. Make a date with its namesake peak on a 5-mile (round-trip) summit-bagging hike that shows off the best of the park. Starting at the Chumash trailhead, you’re immediately greeted with a three-quarter-mile ascent along a chaparral- and cactus-lined path offering views of the Channel Islands. Gravity soon provides relief on the descent into the lush La Jolla Valley. Framed by the rugged Boney Mountain Ridge, this valley is like a mini Eden with its billowing grass, stream bisecting an oak grove and tapestry of wildflowers like blue-eyed grass, California poppy and yellow coreopsis. Follow the trail from the meadow as it hugs the south flank of Mugu Peak. The final push to the mostly bald summit will have you huffing, but the top-out panorama is worth the work: at more than 1,200 feet, views of the Pacific and the Santa Monica Mountains stretch on for miles. Pure Mugu magic. #malibu #pacificcoasthighway #santamonica #pointmugu #placestovisit #ThingsToDo #besthikes #besttrails
