Yesterday to curb our sickness (and because it was pre-planned, who are we kidding?) Jeff and I headed out on a couple hour hike in Malibu with Ellen, Melissa, and Cricket. It was a great hike – challenging, but worth it. I’d like to go back in April when I am sure the waterfall is flowing faster, but August’s falls were great, too. Here are some photos.

We walked to the trail from the PCH, which was along a beautiful road through Malibu’s mansions.

About a half mile in, we arrive at the trail head!

Not even a mile into the trail we decide to stop and climb a tree.

On our merry way, finally making some time.

Things starting to get steep…

After two waterfalls and using ropes to climb, we finally get to the third waterfall.

Wading in, but not too far, as there were some snakes in the water…

Extra little hike with Jeff. Climbing down when we realized it didn’t go anywhere but a rock overlooking the ocean.

Please note how dirty I am.

Back to the girls, all rinsed off.

Headed back down.
