After crossing the bridge we’ll sweep through Summer Hill Ranch to the Canyon Overlook

There are some cool sandstone outcroppings and a beckoning picnic bench

After heading north up the Santa Maria Canyon some, we’ll hook up with my Secret Trail that will take us to through the land of longtime Topanga Resident Yedvart Tchakerian.

After a side-trip to Vanalden Vista for a snack break, we’ll start the 2nd half of the loop, head south down Yedvarts, and then west back to our starting point after a brief walking tour of some of Topanga’s eclectic neighborhoods, including the Cheney Ranch homestead

Hike will be about 8 miles with 1500 ft total ascent
