Topanga State Park
Topanga State Park offers a diverse set of ocean, mountain, field and forest hikes built out of the local, tempestuous fault-line driven geology and Mediterranean climate.
Sandstone rock outcrops rise out of dense, drought tolerant chaparral; wildflowers congregate in mass in the rainy early spring; and gentle mule deer wander about the coastal live oak tree parks at dusk. This is the quintessential So Cal hiking arena.
