The trailhead is reached by turning right on Deer Creek Rd.

We will start from Big Sur Station at 7:30 AM.  It will be a 10-mile jaunt to the hot springs, and 10 more to return to civilization.  You can do it.  There is a 10-mile (round trip) alternative to Ventana Camp.  Sunday offers a beautiful 8 mile loop at Molera Beach.

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 12 miles total, rather than the 6 miles downhill.

This is a gentle out and back 10 mile run from the Country Store off the Ortega Hwy.

This run starts and ends in Sycamore Canyon, climbs up the Serrano Canyon Trail to Serrano Valley at an elevation of 1303 ft. with it's majestic views of beautiful Serrano Valley with rolling grassland meadows that are a lush green in winter and a golden brown in summer. From Serrano Valley we take a right onto Old Boney Trail, then another right on Chamberlain Trail, thru lush switchbacks up to Chamborlin Rock. This is the turnaround point, and from here it is all downhill and shady with panoramic views and endorphins coursing through your arteries.

The trail at Los Liones climbs steeply for the first 2 miles through lush vegetation and ivy covered trees. A 1/2 mile diversion to Parker Overlook offers a beautiful view of the ocean and Santa Monica Bay. Then we continue on East Topanga Fireroad to Trippet Ranch and its water fountain and luxurious bathrooms. This is the  turnaround for our out and back run.

This run is an out and back that starts at the end of Westridge Road and follows the fire road to Mulholland and the park at a former Nike Radar Station with a rest room and drinking fountain. From there, we then go west (left) on Mulholland to the trail head gate at the junction of Mulholland and Sullivan Ridge. After reaching the gate, we turn around and return via the same route we took to get to the Sullivan Ridge Gate.
