Scott is from Oregon and I’m from Austin, so we both grew up exploring the great outdoors. (Okay, him a bit more than me maybe.) He spent his childhood camping and swimming in lakes and I spent mine happily getting lost in the greenbelt on my way to Barton Springs. When Scott mentioned wanting to find a swimming hole close-ish to LA, I didn’t have much hope until I found this article and this blog post about the Crags Road Trail in Malibu Creek State Park. This amazing(!) trail leads to to the site where Mash was filmed, but not before passing a swimming hole with a giant rock to jump off of, a few rock climbing routes and a lake with a dam that creates the perfect peaceful place to swim or fish. Check out the pics from our trip, then go get some fresh air before it gets too cold! Take lots of sunscreen, water and a hat because there isn’t much shade. Also, print out the aforementioned posts and take them with you because there are a few side routes where you could easily get lost. Have fun!
