We last covered the best hikes around LA County that are definitely worth checking out! These hidden paradises in the busy Los Angeles City are not the only ones. Here are two more secrets that are a must see destination — especially on the very hot days of California.
Escondido Falls
Located near Malibu, this hike takes you through a canyon, a woodsy area, and finally you end at a beautiful set of waterfalls. If it is a hot day you can cool off in the pool formed by the waterfalls. Or if you are a little more daring you can climb up the rocks by the waterfalls! There are ropes to help you up, and once you climb up, there is cool view looking back where you hiked from.
Hermit Falls
Located in the San Gabriel Valley, Hermit Fall is the perfect place for thrill seekers because you can cliff jump! The hike takes you through the Angeles National Forest, all the way to the falls. The falls themselves aren’t that big, but large rocks surround them so that you can jump into the pool of water below. This is the perfect hike for a hot day!
