Topatopa Bluff
COVID-19:
When hiking during the coronavirus outbreak, look for trails with
empty parking lots
to reduce the risk of exposure to yourself and fellow hikers. Hike smart and avoid crowded trails.
Lookout/Views
Summits
The first 3.5 miles of the trail climbs up a dirt trail at a relatively easy grade. When I say easy, I should clarify that the climb is relentless. The total elevation gained is around 4500-ft over nearly 8 miles. This is not easy; it’s the type of hike that just completely wears you down. But worth it.
