The hike is filled with lush greens and if you're lucky enough to go on a clear day, the views stretch out for miles. Once you get to Topanga State Park, you will be treated with a beautiful view overlooking downtown LA from the Parker Mesa Overlook. The trails are fairly shaded but bringing a water bottle or two is advisable. Free parking is offered near Los Liones Drive.
