Hiking near Los Angeles: Eagle Rock in the Topanga State Park

While not necessarily known for long, scenic and peaceful outdoor trekking, the Los Angeles area actually has some great, nearby trails. One of those trails stretches nearly 7 kilometers overlooking Eagle Rock within the Topanga State park in the spectacular Topanga Canyon.

There are many different trails you can enjoy within the Topanga State Park. Most of them will take you atop the sandstone Eagle Rock. One option involves trekking on the Musch Trail. There is also a route, which we will be taking, that includes a long loop that incorporates the Eagle Springs Fire Road. Throughout our trek, you will get to enjoy magnificent views that will go as far as the Pacific Ocean. You will also get to see the Santa Monica Mountains during the trek as well, from vantage point of the amazing Eagle Rock.

This trip makes for a great addition to any vacation you may be taking to the Los Angeles area. It is also the perfect trek for people who want to get some great exercise, but aren’t looking to exhaust themselves. And with the amazing views you will get, this trek is absolutely worth it. If you would like to enjoy it for yourself, just send us a request.

We also offer a 3 day hiking and rock climbing adventure on Mount Whitney in the stunning Sierra Nevada Mountains.
