Warning: this hike inspires cliches. Getting to the trailhead requires driving to the end of Corral Canyon Rd, off the PCH in Malibu. This drive might be worth the trip alone, with its exhilarating hairpin turns (cliche 1). But the trails awaiting you at the end of the road are definitely not to be missed. These include a truly awesome ridge hike connecting you to the Backbone trail, and forays into the mountains and riparian areas around the trail-head. The views and sandstone outcroppings are phenomenal (cliche 2). May is a lovely time to go, since the yucca are blooming and so many insects are out pollinating flowers and filling the air with a symphony of sounds (cliche 3). Besides the yucca, California buckwheat was also in full bloom, and the black sage was just starting.
