A good place to start a visit is **Trippet Ranch**, once a gentleman's ranch for a weekend getaway from the city.
From **Pacific Coast Highway**, travel north on **Topanga Canyon Boulevard**, pass the post office at the center of town, then turn right on **Entrada Road**. Keep to the left at every opportunity until you reach the park's main parking lot (about one mile). Alternatively, from the **Ventura Freeway (101)**, exit at **Topanga Canyon Boulevard**, drive south over the crest of the mountains and proceed three miles to **Entrada Road** and turn left.
The park offers excellent recreational opportunities for **hikers**, **mountain bikers** (restricted to fire roads), and **equestrians**.
The park's geologic formations include **earthquake faults**, **marine fossils**, **volcanic intrusions**, and a wide variety of **sedimentary formations**.
Many of the park's trails can be accessed from Trippet Ranch, including the **Musch Trail**, **Eagle Spring loop trail**, **Temescal Fire Road**, **Backbone Trail**, and **Santa Ynez Trail**, among others.
