The Topanga Lookout (or overlook) is a short 2 mile out and back trail in the Santa Monica Mountains just outside Los Angeles. What makes it special? The trail leads to a few large concrete platforms that give a sweeping view of the surrounding mountains (and more on clear days). This hike is worth it for the view alone, but people have also turned the platforms into giant canvasses for some pretty cool art. Address for the trailhead: 23300 Saddle Peak Rd, Calabasas, CA 91302
