Sullivan Fire Road passes along the eastern edge of Topanga State Park with spectacular views of the Encino Hills. This portion of the Sullivan Fire Road is closed to cars; however it can be accessed by car from the paved portion to the south. From this access point, Sullivan Fire Road climbs along the open ridgeline to meet Mulholland Drive with views to the wooded canyon below. The wide fire road is excellent for biking and horseback riding, and also hiking in large groups.

From Santa Monica travel north on Capri Drive, which becomes Sullivan Fire Road. Access to the section of the fire road closed to cars is on the right before the entry to Camp Josepho.
