산타모니카 산맥 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Topanga State Park has a lot of great trails, mostly for hikers; you have plenty of mountain bike options too, but only on the fire roads. No dogs allowed — sorry!

This park has an old fire road — perfect for non-technical riders — and a more challenging singletrack trail that more or less parallels the fire road. Both run north along the ridge, eventually connecting with the dirt/gravel section of Mulholland Drive.

The Rogers farm had been a farm and continued operations, while at the same time focusing more on horses and residence. Some of the farm tools were exhibited for free, such as an old car from the time. The buildings were destroyed by the devastating fires of January 2025. The park is currently closed.

Major trail intersection off the wide gravel road coming up from the main ranch building of Will Rogers State Park. Orientation maps and signs provide guidance.

Rodgers Ranch Rd /Backbone Trail runs from Will Rodgers State Historic Park to Temescal Peak. Here a side trail runs via High Point (Goat Peak) back south to Chautaqua road.

An unusual location this bridge connects two ridges and gives an unusual lofty view across the valley. The trail is narrow and loose gravel can be slippery, so the bridge makes this section safer.

While Rodeo Ridge runs parallel to Backbone Trail (Rodgers Ranch Rd), the Josepho Spur Trail runs northeast to Murphy's Ranch and Rustic Creek.

Great overlook with a perfect bench for a rest while enjoying the view across the Santa Monica Foothills toward West Hollywood
