"A very popular hike, but what it lacks in isolation, it more than makes up for in sights and microclimates. It starts with a shady, woody walk up to the ruins of the Roberts House Ranch, a Paul R. Williams-built mid-century Malibu masterpiece that burned down in 1982. Up above the house is a modest but beautiful waterfall. Hop over the waterfall’s brook, and head up into the mountain, where a dirt path climbs through several switchbacks until you reach the top, where you can look down the canyon onto a majestic view of the Pacific."
