We had a great time hiking in Topanga State Park. Go early in the morning as it gets really hot later in the day.

This was a definite once in a lifetime experience of such amazing beauty. It's amazing to see such a diverse landscape within the same state.

One of the best places to take your dogs and go on a peaceful early morning hike. I usually do the Sandstone Peak hike and then take my boys down past Neptune's to Birthday Beach for a swim.
