    Running

    The panoramic views from the top of Parker Mesa Overlook make the steep ascent worthwhile, treating runners to sweeping vistas of Santa Monica, the Pacific Ocean, and even downtown Los Angeles. If you are attempting this run during high temperatures, get to the trail early to avoid the dangerous midday heat. Bring plenty of water to enjoy atop this stunning overlook.

    Mountain biking

    The Parker Mesa Overlook is located in Topanga State Park and provides a breathtaking view of Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean. From this high vantage point, you can take in the beautiful coastline spanning from Palos Verdes to Malibu, with nothing but blue ocean in between. This is an ideal spot to watch the sunset and enjoy an expansive view of the coast and the LA basin.
