The hike to Sandstone Peak, the highest in the Santa Monica Mountains, starts from the Sandstone Peak Trailhead off Yerba Buena Road and the Pacific Coast Highway. The trailhead has a nice-sized parking lot and new bathroom facilities.
This six mile roundtrip trail is well-maintained, wide, and moderate until you reach the end. To gain the summit there is a short 20 ft. scramble over rock. This scramble is over easy to grip rock and is more fun than challenging.
Once at the top you have gorgeous views of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. One of the best picture taking spots I have found in the Santa Monica Mountains. It does get quite windy at the top so we decided not to linger after we were done with pictures and had lunch after descending from the summit.
