Overview: Include a general description of the trail, what points of interest might be found on it, and what might be seen along the way. This trail is a popular hiking spot with wonderful views of the ocean, as well as a waterfall and a woody canyon. Directions To Trailhead: Include directions to the trailhead from the nearest city or parking including walking, bicycling, or whichever is most appropriate. Starting in Santa Monica, drive north on Highway 1/Pacific Coast Highway for about 2.5 miles to Temescal Canyon Road. Turn right on this road and drive to the end of it where you can find parking. The traihead is at the end of the parking lot on the left. Trail Description: A detailed description of the trail. Try to describe directions within the trail such as forks in the trail or cairns. Include points of interest, overlooks, unique plants and animals, etc. From the trailhead, the loop starts on the [[Temescal Ridge Trail]], climbing very steeply (about 1000 feet in 1 mile). At the top of this climb you will intersect with the [[Temescal Canyon Trail]] where you can take a side trip about a half mile to Skull Rock (if you stay on Temescal Ridge Trail), or you can go down the Canyon Trail into Temescal Canyon. At the bottom in the canyon you will find a waterfall and cross a bridge over the stream in front of it. After you cross the bridge you will continue lower into the canyon at a gentler descent and through a woody area. Conditions & Hazards: Describe possible trail hazards and current or potential conditions. Hazards might include narrow trails, poisonous animals or plants, etc. Conditions might include muddy trails after rain or snow closures and crowds. There are generally a good number of other hikers on the Temescal trails. Fees, Permits, & Restrictions: Detail entrance or parking fees, any permits required for the trail (backpacking or climbing, for example), and restrictions on usage. There is a $7 parking fee. No dogs allowed on the trail. Amenities: Describe parking lots, drinking fountains, bathrooms, etc. Discuss what to do and where to go after the hike, for example good food joints or nearby watering holes. Miscellaneous: Any extra important facts or interesting trivia about the trail, crowd information, nearby points of interest, etc. Add Photo: (Don't forget to upload the image first) Image List:                                Add Category: Category List: CaliforniaTopanga State Park
