HIKE WALKTHROUGH: The hike will start at the Topanga State Park Trippet Ranch parking lot. We’ll head up a good stead incline for about a mile. From there we’ll keep encountering small bumps on a quite leveled trail for about 1/3 of a mile. Again we continue a gain until we get to the side trail that will take us up to Eagle Rock. This will be a bit more intense, but is easily conquered. Once at the top you can enjoy a great energy filled view from Eagle Rock. We’ll take the same trail back, although there is a possibility we may return on Muench Trail depending on the the hikers’ status.
