Santa Ynez Canyon to Trippet Ranch Hike

This is a 5 mile round trip hike, about 800 elevation gain, and about 2.5 hours. This hike is moderate and not for beginners. This trail in Topanga State Park heads up the beautiful Santa Ynez Canyon. There are lots of sandstone formations.

This hike will start in a shady live oak glen, with a small stream, come out on to a drier ridge, then end up at Trippet Ranch, with a nice oak grove. We will take a snack break at the picnic tables and use the restrooms before turning around and heading back.

Wear appropriate footwear, sunscreen and a hat. Bring water and a snack. This park does not allow dogs.
