AllTrails Budwood Motorway Viewpoint, 3.36 miles, in-and-out.
Barbara and I found this hike while browsing through AllTrails. Blah name for a truly special hike, a challenging out-and-back on a single, steep, loose rocky trail totally worth the balancing act for the breathtaking 180 view of the Pacific coastline from Malibu to Santa Monica. The day was sunny, no shade, and while we had an easy time navigating the hilly trail on the way south, the heat hit me hard on the way back up to the north. Lesson: take a LOT of water. Go early. Go late. But don't go cloudy—the views are EVERYTHING on this hike. Nevertheless GO: this trail is utterly spectacular. Entrance at Tuna Canyon Road off Fernwood Pacific Drive, deep in Topanga Canyon.
