Santa Ynez Trail

Santa Ynez Trail (2.2 miles) - Entrada Road, Topanga Canyon State Park

out of work = more hiking

Waiting at the parking lot due to a slight mix up about the entrance to the trail. I was at the wrong entrance.


Still waiting and wandering around the parking lot. Concerned about animals charging, I backed away back towards the car.


Finally realizing we were waiting at opposite entrances to the same trail, I started walking towards the group in hopes of meeting in the middle. I started taking pictures of the trail in case I needed to refer to them later when I inevitably got lost.


Found the group and backtracked to the lookout. Safety in numbers.


Looking out at Santa Ynez Canyon. Fancy, expensive homes in the distance....


Is it a face in a sun, or a sun surrounding a face?


Message from the aliens. In case I did not know where I was, rest assured, I am here.

Hike rating:






3 out of 5 smores due to lack of promised waterfall
