We’ll be doing the Eagle Rock — Musch Loop in a counter-clockwise direction.
We’ll start outside of Trippet Ranch on a neighborhood trail connecting us to the East Topanga Fireroad. As we head up a grassy ridge and connect with Eagle Springs Fire Road expansive views of the Santa Monica Mountains, Santa Ynez Canyon and a slice of the Pacific Ocean will begin to emerge.
Soon the looming Eagle Rock comes into view.
Eagle Rock, the most impressive landmark in all of Topanga State Park, will afford us an airy perch overlooking the upper watershed of Santa Ynez Canyon and the ocean beyond. We will eat, drink and explore on this impressive sandstone rock covered with crevices and caves.
Bring snacks and/or booze to share
Hike is rated MEDIUM. For a detailed description see our previpous hike here https://www.hikingwithdean.com/event/musch-loop-to-eagle-rock-2022/
DIRECTIONS
We’ll meet in Trippet Rach by the main kiosk near the bathrooms
From Topanga Canyon Boulevard, turn east on Entrada Road; that’s to the left if you are coming from the San Fernando Valley. Follow Entrada Road by turning left at every opportunity until you arrive at Topanga State Park.
Park on street before the last left turn (and walk a couple blocks) or pay the ranger in the park ($12?). If you park on street be sure that your left wheels are inside the white line. Note parking restrictions.
