WATER REQUIRED. WATER CHECK WILL BE PERFORMED. If you do not take enough water or are not appropriately equipped for this hike, you will be turned away from doing this hike with us even if you show up. Please note, that we have expectations for Level 5 hikers.
REQUIREMENTS: WATER (at least 1.5 to 2 liters).
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.

MY FRIEND SAID I CAN DO THIS HIKE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, RIGHT?
We take your safety quite seriously, and would not like for you to attend a hike you’re not ready for. You know your body and hiking experience better than your friends. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced hiker, please read our hike details page as the hike may not suite your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
