Anyone have any suggestions for half- or full-day day hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains?

For a full day I recommend hiking the Backbone Trail. Start near Tapia Park off of Malibu canyon road and hike over Castro Peak to Kanan Dune Road. There is no longer a parklink shuttle so you would need to set up a car shuttle. Or hike half way. I have also hiked Saddle peak which was nice.

Or for more of an adventure but less distance try Brents Mountain

Thanks, Travis, this was very informative.

I'll probably be camping out there this weekend.
