I’ll be handing out free hiking snacks on this hike.
We’ve been doing this one in Chatsworth/Twin Lakes since 2009. It’s the scariest hike this side of Transylvania!
Due to ongoing development in the area our exact path can change at any time, but I estimate it to be a little less than 5 miles with 1060′ elevation gain. There is water in a section of the creek – you might get your toes wet. Long pants recommended if you are sensitive to poison oak. NO BEGINNERS

…..A group of innocent hikers, unaware of what waits beyond the next switchback…..
BOO!
Chatsworth E-Riders Sprucing up Boot Hill in 2014. Its a ghoulish job but someone has to do it.
You’ll lose your head on this hike

Part of the hike will be on little-used trails. Long pants would be nice for some short segments, but not required for hike. Wear hiking shoes or boots. Expect the unexpected.
We have a night version also — check it out here: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/event/10th-annual-chatsworth-halloween-hike-night-version/
DIRECTIONS
Go to the north end of Canoga Ave and park under the 118 and look for the horseless ones. Do not block any gates or trails. There is additional parking on Candice Pl.

Avoid Twin Lakes residential streets. Use Chatsworth St to connect Topanga, Owensmouth or De Soto with Canoga Av.
