TOP OF TOPANGA - 8 MILE LOOP / GRUB AFTERWARDS

GREAT workout and TERRIFIC SCENERY with several ROCK FORMATIONS on the way!!! Trail meanders along a ridge and through several interesting rock formations to one of the highest peaks in the immediate Santa Monica Mountains at just over 2,700 feet; where we'll have an incredible view of the valley and neighboring mountain range. On the way down, the trail zig-zags among the trees and is densely shaded towards the bottom
