In the next several weeks, LAist will embark on a series of hikes and present to you an ambitious 6-part photo essay. This is the third one. Here is parts 1, and 2.
Stunt Ranch is a 67-acre private UCLA reserve with public access to its trails. It is located on the north-central flank of the Santa Monica Mountains just outside of Malibu (4.5 miles North of). It was recently devastated by a wildfire in 1993 but has since recovered (as seen in these pictures) and is now used for research and education. It is dominated by Chaparral and Sage Scrub species.
GPS: 34 6' N Latitude, 118 39' W Longitude.
Photos continue after the jump.

These are wonderful bro but some practical info would make these infinitely more informative.
Directions, trailheads, more descriptions of the terrain, or even just a fun narrative. To me that is the meat of a good hiking piece. I realize these are photo essays but without any information they're really just ornamental.
I agree with ben bang. I'm familiar enough with the the Pasadena/Arcadia trails, but I would love to find other good spots.
Pretty pics, though!
Good friggin point. I have added some brief info as well GPS coordinates. I'll be doing it for the rest of the series as well.
Thanks!
Awesome idea, bro. Keep up the good work. I love this outdoorsy shit.
