Topanga State Park, Santa Monica Mountains, California
Topanga State Park, Santa Monica Mountains, California
Almost at the top. It looks more like an eagle from this angle (I think). Topanga Canyon / Eagle Rock #hike. #California
Wild Poppies growing among the trees. the pictures do not do it justice.
A beautiful field of yellow wildflowers. I want to go back to this location when the poppies are starting to bloom in March. If you catch it at the right time Topanga Canyon is magnificent. These meadows occur at high elevations and hold great amounts of birds and wildlife. One of the staff members warned us that cougars had been spotted right around the trail head washrooms the 2 days prior to our arrival.
