TOP OF TOPANGA LOOKOUT / 8 MILE LOOP / GRUB & LIBATIONS 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 (elevation gain only 1,450 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.
