Here is a picture of the Zuma Canyon from where I left my bike:<br \/>\nThe hike is quite beautiful, involving some simple bouldering and bushwacking.  It took about four and a half hours of pretty serious climbing.  The lower creekbed was very dense with brush, but the middle and upper sections were relatively brush free.  Here are some of the boulder&#8217;s which I scrambled up:<br \/>\nThe ride down from the top of the canyon on a paved road is a bit tight (the road has a few places where there is not much of a bikepath), but it is great to get to the bottom and to be able to go for a swim at the beach after such a strenuous hike.<br \/>\nProfessor Chris Brennen has a nice description of this hike on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dankat.com\/swhikes\/zuma.htm\">website<\/a>.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, in spite of all the warnings on websites, I did not wear long pants or long sleeves and thus ended up getting poison oak.  Not a serious case, but even today, nearly two weeks later, I still have some remaining rashes.
