Nobody thinks of LA as a place to hike. After all, this is the city that worships the automobile. But, not far away lies the scenic wilderness of Topanga Canyon. Topanga State Park is one of the largest urban preserves in the world, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and featuring beautiful cliffs hanging over the canyon.
Topanga was named by a local Indian tribe and is believed to mean "A place above", which it certainly is if you feel the need to hike and escape LA. Within minutes you can be in the rolling landscape of the Santa Monica Mountains.
LA is not just a painted freeway!
