The typical Los Liones/Parker Mesa hike is an out and back 7.8 mile hike. But one day, while meandering about Los Liones Canyon, I found some side trails and shortcuts. On the way to Parker Mesa Overlook we'll take these side trails up the canyon and return by way of the "book trails."

Perched high above the Palisades and Malibu, the vista from the Parker Mesa Overlook is stunning. You can see all of the LA basin laid out before you, the San Gabriel Mountains to the north, Catalina Island to the south, and the crescent shaped coastline of Santa Monica to the east.
The hike will be about 7 miles with 1,400 ft total ascent
Directions
From Santa Monica or Malibu: Take the Pacific Coast Highway and turn on Sunset Boulevard. Go 0.3 miles on Sunset, take a left on Los Liones and drive half a mile to the end of the street. Park on the right side of the street in the lot across from the church.
There is plenty of free street parking, as well as two lots near picnic areas and restrooms.
