We start at the outdoor furniture store, home of Owl Falls, a 40-foot tall roadside waterfall. We walk a quarter mile on the west side of Topanga Canyon Blvd to just south of the "slippery when wet" road sign. We will then enter the mysterious Time Tunnel and drop down to the creek.
Bring swimwear, a hat, lots of water, shoes you can get wet.
We will see SEVERAL SWIMMING HOLES, SEVERAL SMALL WATERFALLS, AND THE RAIN ROOM (A GROTTO/MULTIPLE WATERFALLS IN A ROOM UNDER A ROCK),
... ALL IN NEARBY TOPANGA CANYON WITH NO LONG DRIVE ON REALLY TWISTY ROADS
ELEVATION GAIN AND LOSS: A HUNDRED FEET AT THE MOST
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR POISON OAK CONTACT
THE TOPANGA CREEK HIKE FOLLOWS THE WEST SIDE OF CREEK FOR MOST OF THE ROUTE AND FEATURES LOTS OF CLIMBING OVER 3 TO 4 FOOT TALL BOULDERS (AND OPTIONALLY, SOME 20 FEET TALL). There are also a few rusty car bodies to avoid. YOU WILL USE YOUR HANDS AS WELL AS YOUR FEET. THAT'S WHY I CALL MY HIKES "MONKEYING AROUND".
CLIMBING OF THE BIGGER BOULDERS IS OPTIONAL.....
