Start: 2013-08-04T12:30:00-07:00
End: 2013-08-04T15:30:00-07:00
Location: FOSSIL RIDGE Trailhead

(parking is sometimes an issue... so carpool if possible)

FOSSIL RIDGE follows a small creek and is mostly under a dense growth of TREES!!! ( see pics below) it's approx 8 miles round-trip; up and back (not a loop)

so if you only wanna go a couple miles and turn back, you just retrace your steps and go AT YOUR OWN PACE!!!

( there's a GREAT meditation-rock at the beginning that would be PERFECT to just chill-out for a while if you don't wanna do the entire distance )

ELEVATION GAIN 1,500 FEET; at a RELAXED pace and a break at the top for a snack it should take around 4 - 4 1/2 hours. OH... and there's FOSSILS towards the top.

SORRY.... NO DOGS

TO GET THERE: HEAD up PCH from Santa Monica to Topanga Canyon (about 4 1/2 miles from the California Incline or 5 1/2 miles from the PIER) Turn RIGHT onto Topanga Canyon and go approx 4 1/2 miles and make a LEFT on OLD TOPANGA CANYON road. Approx .4 miles (four tenths) from the turn is the parking area on the left. There's LOTS of additional parking along the road if that lot is full.
