West Side Loop Professional Review and Guide

"This is one of the more adventurous trips in this book, even though when you’re on it you’re almost never out of sight or earshot of the suburbs below. You climb the Verdugo crest by way of an old road—abandoned and washed out in several places, but not completely ignored by hikers and even a few intrepid mountain bikers."
