Dias’ Hike — Attraction in Palos Verdes Estates

Please please please wear a mask if you’re planning on doing this hike!!!! It’s really narrow and impossible to socially distance. I went with my elderly mother and felt very anxious walking by multiple groups of unmasked hikers. People who are at higher risk of COVID also want to be able to enjoy the outdoors...unmasked people make it very hard and scary to do so.

Even the drive to get to this trail is nice! The views are breathtaking, there’s so much shade for the majority of the trail.

On a nice clear day, you may see surfers riding the waves, sea birds and hawks flying around, unobstructed “queen’s necklace view” of the LA beach cities, and even the downtown Los Angeles.

Don’t come after a rain as the conditions might...
