Local blogger Pete Warden came across the Fake Angeleno's Point Dume hiking recap earlier this week and wrote to tell us he was inspired to collect all his best SoCal hiking and camping information in one post. The result is a great resource for anyone interested in exploring the local outdoors.
Here are four of my favorite posts from Pete's list:
Camping in the Santa Monicas: La Jolla Valley – my favorite 'secret' campground
Fancy a trail with oil bubbling from the ground?
How to hike to the highest point in the Santa Monicas
See where they filmed MASH

Though I'm new in town, I hope to compile a similar post as soon as possible. Right now I've only been on about a half dozen local hikes, but I plan to catch up quickly.

Thanks Brian! The local hiking is really one of LA’s best-kept secrets. I had no idea how much wilderness there is within an hour of downtown until I moved here.
