Standing at 3,111 feet, Sandstone Peak offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands on clear days.
The Mishe Mokwa Trail is a popular 6.8-mile loop that leads hikers through diverse landscapes, including chaparral, oak woodlands, and striking rock formations.
The peak was named in honor of W. Herbert Allen, a prominent Boy Scout leader, and is sometimes referred to as Mount Allen.
The peak is composed primarily of sedimentary rock, which has been shaped over millions of years by erosion and weathering.
The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including mule deer, bobcats, and over 380 species of native plants.
Balanced Rock is a natural rock formation along the Mishe Mokwa Trail that appears to defy gravity, perched precariously on a narrow base.
It is located within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, which is one of the largest urban national parks in the United States.
