East Loma Ridge is a doubletrack used by hikers, bikers and equestrians on IRC Wilderness Access Days (it may or may not be open for use on these days). The dirt trail was in fairly good condition when I used it. There's nothing technical about the trail other than one steep segment but the views of the coast, downtown LA, hills and mountains are stunning on a clear day and well worth the effort of climbing up.
