Topanga State Park is comprised of picturesque cliffs and canyons in the Santa Monica Mountains. With 36 miles of trails that wind through grasslands and forests, the park is a popular destination for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. It is thought to be the world's largest wildland that sits within the limits of a major city.

Most of the main attractions in Topanga State Park are accessible through Trippet Ranch, a site that leads out to the Eagle Spring loop trail, Hub Junction, the Temescal fire road, and the Musch Trail.

Where to take the best vacation photos in Malibu: Some of the hiking paths provide stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged California coastline. Topanga State Park Map
