DIRECTIONS: To get to the Los Liones trailhead: Los Liones Drive is the second left off Sunset Blvd from PCH, just 1/3 of a mile from the beach. Park on the right side of Los Liones Drive, and enter the trail at the end of the cul-de-sac.

Beginning from the trailhead at the end of Los Liones Drive: Find the trail to the right of the cul-de-sac and begin the climb. The single track weaves up an incredibly lush canyon. Slivers of the Pacific offer a taste of the broad ocean views to come. After 1.3 miles, the ivy and chaparral lined trail reaches East Topanga Fire Road and opens up on a great view of the coast. Catch your breath and turn left (almost a full U-turn) up the fire road, joining hikers and mountain bikers from the Paseo Miramar trailhead.

From an elevation of 1,525 feet, Parker Mesa Overlook provides quite a perch over the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean below. A pair of benches have been kindly provided, so have a seat and enjoy the panoramic view. The mesa has the potential to deliver a mesmerizing sunset. Though you should pack a flashlight for the hike back if you plan to stay that late.
