9Malibu Creek State Park
If you’d like to hike somewhere with some Hollywood history, head for popular Malibu Creek State Park. Within this park, you will find former shooting locations for both the classic motion picture South Pacific and the hit 1980s TV show “M*A*S*H.” While the relatively recent Woolsey fire did a lot of damage to the area, veteran visitors confirm that as this goes to press, you will still see the scorched remains of rusted, old Army Jeeps and a few other signs of filming that once occurred here. The authorities do request that you not stray from the existing trails on your hikes though because the area is still recovering from the devastation wrought by the wildfire.
This hike is less than five miles in total and there’s less than a 200-foot increase in elevation. Keep in mind if you plan on starting your hike at Crags Road it will cost you $12.00 to enter and park there in the lot. You can park for free close to the trailheads for the Cistern and South Grassland Trails.
