6. TOPANGA LOOP

 

Topanga State Park is in the Santa Monica Mountains, just a short distance of driving away from Los Angeles and Santa Monica Beach.

The ride starts from Trippet Ranch, then climbs up the fire road with great views of Topanga canyon and San Fernando Valley to the interesting rock formation called Eagle Rock, where a lot of hikers gather to appreaciate the great views of mountains below and Pacific ocean far away.  After a short climbing challenge from Eagle Rock with my friend Derek, I keep climbing to the Hub junctionun and then Temescal Fire road down the Trailer Canyon.  After riding Palisades drive to the gruelling climbing of Paseo Miramar to Parker Mesa Overlook, we take a rest absorbing the fantastic view of the city and ocean down below.  We keep climbing on East Topanga fire road, to go down back to Tripppet ranch.

 

The Topanga Loop ride of about 20 miles was recorded for about 85 minutes (some time consuming climbing sections were not recorded).
