Red Rock Canyon Potluck Hike

Easy-Intermediate, 4 miles, 800′ gain.
Option not to hike:
If for some reason you don’t want to hike but still want to come, the social event can be driven to, and we should get there about an hour after we begin: 23601 W Red Rock Rd, Topanga, CA 90290. It costs $5 to park there, MasterCard/Visa accepted.

We’ll be passing through a beautiful canyon with huge red, pale purple, and tan sandstone walls.

The hike begins with a steady climb on a fire road for 0.75 mile. We turn right at the junction and begin heading mostly down another fire road for about 1.25 miles.

There will be a picnic area on the right, where we’ll enjoy a potluck picnic. If your item requires utensils/plates/toothpicks, etc., please bring them.

The picnic area is wooded and shaded. Consider bringing insect repellent.

We’ll return the way we came after about 1.5 hours.
