Murphy Ranch

Open

Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles

"just when you think you're done MORE STAIRS!"
Loop through the forest for creek views
Main building is welded shut, water tank isn't

Descend hundreds of graffiti-covered stairs to the ruins of Murphy Ranch, a pre-WWII Nazi sympathizer compound tucked in the Palisades hills. The trek rewards you with crumbling buildings, a climbable water tank, and surprisingly lush creek trails.
