SUMMARY:Hondo Canyon to Saddlepeak ~ Intermediate Hike
DESCRIPTION:We are limiting this hike to 15 due to the limited parking on Old Topanga Road. Please carpool if possible. \nThis stretch of the Backbone Trail travels between Old Topanga Canyon Road and Saddle Peak Road. It is a steady climb for 3.67 miles with 1550 feet of gain (all downhill on the return trip!). Many sections are well shaded\, switching through dense oak woodland all the way to Saddle Peak. This trail offers excellent views of Topanga and the surrounding area. \nDirections: \nFrom PCH\, turn inland onto South Topanga Canyon Road. After 4.3 miles\, turn left and head onto Old Topanga Canyon Road for about 0.4 mile. Safely park along either side of the road and locate the marked trailheads. \nFrom Conejo Valley take Ventura Fwy (101) east to Topanga Canyon Blvd exit. From Ventura Blvd/Topanga Cyn Blvd head south (towards ocean) for about 8 miles. Turn right onto Old Topanga Canyon Road for about 0.4 miles. \nPlease review the guidelines (guidelines) to join our hikes.\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re shown on the “Attending” list.\nPlan on KEEPING UP with the group and completing the entire hike at a moderate pace.\nPlease consider bringing mosquito spray as they may be present.\n\nDISCLAIMER/RELEASE OF LIABILITY – PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY\nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group. Safety should be a priority for everyone in the group. Please treat this meet-up as hiking with a group of friends.

If you are able to proceed\, it is expected that you will maintain line of sight with other members of the group at all times and help to promote the group’s safety and fitness goals. \nOutdoor sports and other events we plan can be inherently dangerous and accidents may happen.
