tuna canyon park

We are avid promoters and partakers of exercise. Primarily walking or hiking). The drive west from Hwy 101 toward Pacific Coasy Highway is a thoroughly invigorating experience. We stopped at Topanga Canyon State Park. You can go to the main gate and pay the per person fee of $5 or you can stop at the entrance parking area on your left. Restroom facilities [exceptionally clean and modern] and picnic tables are available there. To the west (right) of the tables is a trail going up the mountain side. This trail leads to the Triplett Ranch and is an excellent nature hike or walk with great views of the mountains.You should be in fairly good physical condition to manage this hike/walk. I am 78 years young, but walk 3 to 6 miles regularly.Continuing the drive west are numerous businesses, restaurants etc. scattered along the canyon. A small mall is also located on the right side entering the village of Topanga.Upon reaching PCH (Pacific Coast Highway, a left turn will take you down the ocean side toward Santa Monica. A right turn takes you North to Malibu and beyond. Nice ocean view drive to Port Hueneme or Oxnard/Ventura area.All in all a real fun one day trip!!
