Los Leones Canyon

Los Leones has a couple miles of great singletrack but then is primarily fireroad after that. Santa Ynez Canyon is a much nicer alternative entry to Topanga State Park and Trippet Ranch, but Los Leones is close and convenient!
Trailhead and entrance to Topanga State Park, just on the edge of civilization off Sunset Blvd in Pacific Palisades.  No bikes and no dogs allowed, awesome!

A longer route to Eagle Rock than the Santa Ynez Canyon trailhead.

Some nice, chapparel covered singletrack. Unfortunately, this trail is one of the most crowded in the area.

View from the bench at the top of the singletrack. Another spot with an amazing 180 degree ocean view. On a clear day, you can see from the PV pennisula to the Channel Islands.
