Notes This is a more traditional hike in the sense that you go up, down, left, right, in and out of streams, through old ruins, and lots of amazing scenery.
This hike starts out following Inspiration Point loop up a ridge line with great views of the ocean and city below. Just past the spur that leads up to inspiration point 1.5 km (about 1 mile), you will turn onto the Backbone trail. About .5km (quarter mile) after you cross a bridge spanning a saddle, you will come to an unmarked trail on the right that drops steeply into Rustic Canyon.
Once you're at the bottom of the canyon, head left (north) towards the Camp Josepho scout camp. There are many structures in this area that are part of a Nazi camp - yeah, you read this right. A bunch of nuts thought Nazi-Germany would win - silly people!
You will see an impressive structure that used to be a power station, the generators were donated to Loyola Marymount University in the early 1970s.
At some point the trail just ends.
