We hiked the Topanga Canyons in Los Angeles California few summers back. Its a must hike if you are in the regions. The views are breathtaking and hike is somewhat difficult but it can be done easily. Summer times the canyons get hot so bring plenty of water to hydrate. take a look at the video and we were climbing the Eagle rock trail all the way to the top and back. On our way, we saw some deer wondering around the area.
Enjoy 🙂
