From Red Rock Canyon via Old Topanga Date Climbed: Dec 7, 2008
A quick hike on fire roads, perfect for a morning stroll in the fall/winter with family or dog. Views are less then inspiring of the suburban sprawl that is called Calabasas.
Hiked it with my brother-in-law from North Carolina and his son. It is one of many once a year hikes together during Thanksgiving get-togethers. Wonderful views of homes in the canyon.
I've done a fair amount of hiking in this area, but only bothered to head to this point once. Nice hike, but it can get hot early, since you're blocked from the coastal breezes. Nice views of the SF Valley on a clear day...
It was over 90 degrees, blazing sunshine and a thick inversion layer settled in. This made an easy hike quite difficult and I had to stop for water and shade - what little there is in chaparral - frequently.
