While off the beaten path in a corner of Topanga State Park, especially if you are coming through the main entrance at Trippet Ranch, Santa Ynez Falls is lovely and worth a visit. The trail is only 2.4 miles long and meanders easily through a densely forested and shaded canyon, along the streams you will have to cross a few times until you reach a poorly maintained, fairly rugged trail to Santa Ynez Falls. Just before you get to the falls you will have to scramble a bit and climb over a few rocks but the rest of the way is easy for anyone. The trail starts at the end of a remote street in the Pacific Palisades. Map
