Hondo Canyon (Saddle Peak to Entrada Road Parking Lot) This run begins at the intersection of Scheuren, Stunt, and Saddle Peak Roads. It's mostly downhill and follows the Backbone Trail through some lush areas, through the former site of a marijuana farm, and through Hondo Canyon to Old Topanga Canyon Road and then on to Topanga Canyon Road and the finish. This is run #17 in "50 Trail Runs in Southern California".  A popular option is an up and back for 9 miles total, rather than the 4.5 miles downhill.
