Okay, Malibu

Malibu is the quintessential California beach town: 27 miles of coastal beauty and thousands of acres of neighboring parkland. See many of its natural highlights on this 3.75-mile out-and-back hike to Escondido Falls.

Minimize the screen time, maximize the great outdoors, and get the family on a trip to Sun Valley, Idaho! From pedaling the rails-to-trails bike path the locals love, to taking your pick of parks.

Hike, beach, seafood: the recipe for a Malibu-tiful day. Do a 2.5-mile loop through Corral Canyon Park, a stroll along Dan Blocker Beach, then grab food at Malibu Seafood Shack.

The Ray Miller Trail comprises the final stretch of the Backbone Trail in Malibu’s Point Mugu State Park, and makes an idyllic moderate beach hike during spring and early summer.
