This run begins at the La Entrada Parking lot, near the intersection of Topanga Canyon Rd. and La Entrada. Free parking is available on the street. From the parking lot, we take the Dead Horse Trail up to the Musch Trail. We then follow the beautiful and lush Musch Trail to the intersection with the Santa Ynez Fire Road, and go left to Eagle Rock and continue to the Hub. At this point we go sharply to the right toward Eagle Springs until the intersection with the Musch Trail. Our return down Musch, the way we came, is blissfully downhill until we reach the Entrada Parking Lot. Your effort can be rewarded with excellent Mexican food, margaritas, and beer in an outdoor setting at Abuelita's Mexican Restaurant, on Topanga canyon Road, at the intersection with Old Topanga Road.
