Situated in the Santa Monica Mountains, this trail is accessed via a neighborhood located in the Pacific Palisades district. The trail starts in the southern portion of Topanga State Park and gradually ascends towards the Temescal Ridge Trail. While there is little shade along the trail, trail users will enjoy panoramic views of the canyons and the ocean.
