Temescal Canyon in Pacific Palisades, California, Skull Rock with rattlesnake on trail

Nice that you are documenting this. I just stumbled on this trail after turning away from the twelve dollar parking at Will Rogers park. I actually started from the Bienvenidas trail just to the west of Temescal. Once up on the Temescal trail, I then took Trailer Cyn trail up until the end of the houses, which is probably a mile or so after Skull Rock. So I did similar to you on your trip. My brother used to live on the edge of Topanga State park, and I always knew it was great. Thanks.

@crtune Thanks for viewing and commenting. Didn't know that Will Rogers parking was so expensive. The Santa Monica Mountains have many great hiking canyons. My favorite is the Mishe Mokwa at Sandstone Peak. I recently did a video of it. Great views and some unique rock formations. Can't wait to get back out there.
