The heat and the swarming black flies encouraged us to take a small break from the Angeles. We chose Temescal Canyon for a short get-together. We took the trail to Will Rogers and sat for a moment at the Inspiration Point overlook with view of the ocean before heading back the way we came.
The Santa Monica mountains are often over-crowded especially on the weekends. Those who rise early, however, will be rewarded with a few moments of solitude, a view to the ocean and the sweet smell of eucalyptus and fennel. Our rewards on this day also included one crouching bobcat, one rattlesnake retreating into the brush and the biggest spider I have ever seen (well maybe not the biggest).
The Facts are:
We went about 5 miles.
It must have been 100 deg (at least!).
The bathrooms at temescal don't open until 7:02, there's no paper in there and they were last cleaned in 1998.
