Google Earth view of the hike route (light blue), oriented so we're looking up Topanga Ridge (left side) with Calabasas Peak Motorway in the foreground. We started just below the center of this image and went clockwise around the loop.

On Calabasas Peak Motorway, just about to head up Topanga Ridge

We soon have a steep little climb, the first of many

Calabasas Peak Motorway is below us

That's the ridge we'll be following after we cross this little meadow

The trail is really easy to follow even if it is a little overgrown in some places
|
|

We get a good look at Stunt Road
|
|

We also get a good look at the Calabasas fins

We found this pretty pretty spider in the middle of the trail so we had to detour for a few feet to avoid it

Looking for the hawk in the distance

We're finished with the toughest climbing. But who's that up ahead?
|
|
 |
It looks like Ben on the old firetower foundation

Interesting rock formations down below

|

The old firetown foundation has been redecorated every time we visit

Only a short distance to the top of Stunt Road now
