Covering 11,000 acres, with 36 miles of trails and unimproved roads, the boundaries stretch from Topanga Canyon to Pacific Palisades and Mullholland Drive. There are more than 60 trail entrances. Topanga State Park is the largest park in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Topanga State Park was opened to the public in 1974. Land includes more than 7,500 acres from the original Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica land grant. Additional acreage has been added in the form of 1,500 acres from the Palisades Highlands and another 1,600 acres added in 2002, near the mouth of the Topanga Creek
The word Topanga is an old Shoshonean language word meaning ‘above’ and referring to the canyon settlement being above the flood waters of Topanga Creek. The Tongva and Chumash peoples inhabited the area for thousands of years

Mount Wilson (5710 elev.) is a high ridge with blinking red lights towering above Pasadena, California. Radio and television antenna, and cell phone towers for the Los Angeles Basin are plentiful, so you may hear some buzzing upon the tall towers.
There is an Observatory complex featuring solar & nighttime telescopes, with tours.
Locals have built a few rope tree swings, named the Secret Swings, but since they are featured on GoogleMaps, I doubt they are a real secret. Popular hiking and mountain biking trails lead down from Mount Wilson, past waterfalls and trail camps, to the foothills of Altadena and Sierra Madre.
SKYLINE PARK PICNIC SITE: On a clear day (which can be a rare occurrence) this spot can be an awesome place to spend the whole day. Pack a picnic lunch and/or dinner; may as well bring the big cooler, several blankets and maybe some fold up chairs. Jackets and hats are handy to have when the wind picks up. Expect crowds on the weekends.
EPIC VIEWPOINT: This ridge line location is also an epic view at night, as the lights of the metropolis span out westward in a grid pattern. This is great spot to bring a date, a sightseeing relative, or an outta state visitor.
