Thursday hike from Ernie Howlett Park

We meet at 8:15am in the parking lot near the entrance road and start hiking promptly at 8:30am

We will start at Ernie Howlett park and go along some very scenic horse trails. We will either go towards Malaga Cove through Malaga Dunes, return on the Boundary Trail, or go east and pass through the tunnels under Hawthorne and Crenshaw to explore the Moccasin and Botanic Garden trails east to Rolling Hills Rd.

The hike will be between 5 and 6 miles depending on route we decide to take. Elevation gain will vary between 500ft to 800ft depending on the route.

Hiking shoes with lug soles and water required, and sunscreen, snacks, and hiking poles recommended.

There is a restroom by the tennis courts.
