Topanga Lookout Ridge loop
Mileage: 10 miles
Total elevation gain: +2, 697 ft
The 10 mile run starts out on Calabasas Motorway (dirt road with trailhead and parking on Stunt Rd).
At mile 0.6, there’s an intersection with a bench. This is where our loop begins, but before the loop, we’ll do an out and back up to Calabasas Peak. Back at the intersection, we get on a steep single track called “Topanga Lookout Ridge” a.k.a. “North Ridge Calabasas”. At mile 4.5, the single track ends at the old graffitied 360 Lookout. After a short break at the Lookout, we continue to Stunt Rd and the Backbone Trail.
We stay on the Backbone until we turn for 3 miles of down hill on the Stunt High Trail which takes us back to the cars.
