🈺Dead Horse/Backbone Trail - Musch Loop to Eagle Rock

Details

When was the last time you did this hike?...

Eagle Rock, the most impressive landmark in all of Topanga State Park, will afford us an airy perch overlooking the upper watershed of Santa Ynez Canyon and the ocean beyond. We will eat, drink and explore on this impressive sandstone rock covered with crevices and caves. We'll get there via Dead Horse, Trail 92 and the Musch Loop in a counter-clockwise direction

Hike is about 7.5 miles with 1200 ft total ascent and is rated MEDIUM. See my website for some trails pics from a similar hike.

🧺Bring a sack lunch for break on the rock.

DIRECTIONS

Head for posted address, a private residence, then turn left into the Dead Horse trailhead parking lot. Pay parking fee ($12?) at irone ranger or get a free State Park pass at your local library.
