Stoney Pointe Monkeying around, followed by Sage Ranch rock and cave exploration

3 FUN THINGS TO DO: (Do 1, 2 or all 3, whatever you want...)

1. NOON: MEET FOR LUNCH (INDIAN, BUFFET-STYLE, ABOUT $10.50 WITH TAX AND TIP)
2. 1:30 PM: EASY CLIMB THROUGH CHUTES AND ON TOP OF SCENIC ROCKS AT STONEY POINTE PARK. Elevation gain of maybe 200 feet and about 1 mile walk
3. 3:30 PM: CLIMB ON ROCKS, EXPLORE CAVES AND TEST YOUR FEAR-FACTOR AT THE "LEDGE OF DOOM" AT SAGE RANCH PARK. Elevation gain of 200 feet a couple of times and about 3 miles of walking

NOTE: I do not recommend taking the route from Stoney Pointe park to Sage Ranch on the google map. Instead, go south on Topanga Canyon, turn right on Plummer, turn left at intersection with Box Canyon Road, and then turn right at Woolsey Canyon Road. Follow Woolsey for 2 miles to top of mountain and turn right at Sage Ranch park sign, then in 1/4 mile turn left into Sage ranch parking lot. Parking is free unless you want to park at the top of the hill.
