Big Sycamore Canyon Hike
Sunday, March 13, 2022, 11am
We will meet in the parking lot for Sycamore Canyon in Satwiwa and make our way to the Pacific Coast to the Sycamore Canyon Campgrounds. The hike is 7.6 miles with a gentle slope from 800ft to sea level. THIS IS A ONE-WAY HIKE. We will NOT be hiking back to our starting point. You will need to arrange transportation from the Sycamore Canyon Campground in Malibu. The trail ends within the campground. There is a parking lot within the campground. There might be a parking entry fee. Some options for this include:
- Having one parent drop off participants at start and then pick up at end.
- Parking one car in campground parking lot earlier in the morning, being dropped off at start, and then driving home directly from Malibu.
- Arranging a ride to and from with another Scout family. Cell phones will work at the beginning and end of trail but there will be a long stretch where there will be no reception. Siblings are welcome to join us. We anticipate the hike to take approximately 3 hours considering a leisurely pace and a mid-point break for lunch. The entire trail can be found here:
- A personal lunch and one or more snacks
- Wear comfortable shoes. Hiking shoes recommended but a good pair of sneakers will also suffice.
- Sunblock.
- A hat.
- Water sufficient for each person for the duration of the hike.
- Appropriate clothing for the weather that day. Bring a sweatshirt or sweater as the weather could change getting closer to the ocean.
- Highly recommend bringing a back pack.
