Talepop Loop & Lunch at La Paz

Please join us on the site of the former Chumash village known as Talepop, in the Liberty Canyon Natural Preserve.

We will be dedicating this hike to Jeff Sherman. Jeff signed up for this hike on August 21 before passing away last Monday during our Zuma Canyon hike. (See Comments section)

He loved hiking and would have wanted us to continue with this one. He will be with us in spirit.

Our hike begins at Juan Bautista de Anza Park which will connect us with the Talepop Loop Trail. The trail climbs up a ridgeline with nice views of Liberty Canyon, Las Virgenes Canyon and oak-studded rolling hills.

The hike will be a combination of ranch roads and single track trails. We will make a side trip onto the Grasslands Trail and visit the historic Sepulveda Adobe, creating a 4.75 mile hike (appx) with about 600' total ascent (appx).
