The Beauty of Nature Awaits
Canyonback Trail
Mountaingate residents enjoy rare and exclusive access to the beauty of the Santa Monica Mountains via the Canyonback Trail, North and South.
Set along Canyonback Ridge, the trail runs north to south in an area known as the "Big Wild," located east of Mandeville Canyon near San Vicente Mountain.
Much like the neighboring ridges—Westridge, Sullivan Ridge, and Temescal Ridge—there is both a wide fire road and a narrow single-track running along Canyonback Ridge, allowing hikers to choose their own adventures on the trail.
