About the Tri-Peaks
Welcome to Tri-Peaks Park, a hidden gem nestled in Hidden Valley, California. Tri-Peaks offers an unforgettable hiking experience, guided by the insights of an average California woman who explores the world one trail at a time. Discover the highest peaks in the Santa Monica Mountains with our exhilarating Tri Peak and Sandstone Peak hikes.
Located just north of Malibu, near the LA and Ventura County lines, the Sandstone Peak hike provides breathtaking views overlooking Point Mugu State Park. A convenient 1.5-hour drive from Orange County brings you to this nature lover's paradise.
Start your adventure on Yerba Buena Road, where two trailheads offer access to the Mishe Mokwa and Backbone Trails leading to Sandstone Peak. Parking is free, with ample space and restroom facilities at the Sandstone Peak Trailhead.
The journey begins with an ascent from the Sandstone Peak Trailhead, offering two paths at the first junction. Opt for the counterclockwise route for a gradual climb, passing landmarks like Balancing Rock and Split Rock. The well-shaded Split Rock area is perfect for a rest amidst the scenic Santa Monica Mountains.
For the adventurous, explore the off-trail path to Tri Peaks, where bouldering and stream crossings add excitement to your hike. Despite its challenges, this path rewards you with unique views and a sense of accomplishment.
Continue to Sandstone Peak, the crown jewel of the Santa Monica Mountains. Standing at 3,111 ft, it offers unparalleled 360° views, including the Pacific Ocean. Whether you catch the sunrise or sunset, Sandstone Peak promises a breathtaking spectacle.
