Details

  • Deep in the Santa Monica Mountains, a secret storm drain referred to by the locals as the Topanga Time Tunnel, provides access to a wooded canyon, a secret grotto, impressive rock formations, and various large waterholes.
    The sorta-kinda trail requires boulder scrambling and multiple creek crossings, so come for the adventure.
  • After walking down the Time Tunnel to the creek, we will make our winding way alongside the steam to the swimming hole. The pool is surrounded by red sandstone rocks...bring a swimsuit if you feel like taking a dip. Next we continue downstream for 15 minutes to the Rain Room. We will stay there for a while then return the way we came.
