11th Annual Chatsworth Halloween Hike – Full Moon Version!

The lockdown loonies have cancelled Trick-or-Treat, but that doesn’t scare us!

Special Treat: This time the hike coincides with a full moon

 

PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHENEVER POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY AT TRAIL HEAD AND BREAK SPOTS. WEAR A MASK OR FACE COVERING WHENEVER SOCIAL DISTANCING IS IMPOSSIBLE OR IMPRACTICAL. IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU BRING A FACE COVERING. BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.

We’ve been doing this one in Chatsworth since 2009, and is one of our most popular hikes. It’s the scariest hike this side of Transylvania!

…..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.

NO WHITE LIGHTS – Red and Green lights only. If you don’t have one you can piggy-back off of someone else’s. Here are some recommendations:

You’ll lose your head on this hike

HIKE IS ABOUT 5 MILES WITH ABOUT 1000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM DUE. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE


Due to ongoing development in the area the exact path is unknown at the time of this writing. I will have more accurate figures later

Directions:

Our parking and meetup spot is on a new-homes construction site. The streets are paved and the lots are marked, but there are no homes built yet. Its easy to get to, however, some of the streets are so new, they are not on some maps (or GPS) yet, so pay attention to these directions!

21600 Poema Pl is an address 1/4 mile east the parking area. The Meetup map works on Android (Google maps) and takes you to parking area via Canoga Ave.

If you are using iPhone or car GPS, you may need the following directions, or type in the coordinates 34.279440,-118.600440

🚗From Canoga Ave – go north on Canoga Ave past the 118. Bear right and enter the Deerlake Ranch development; head uphill and make a left on Poema Pl. Go past the 21600 address, cross the bridge (that will be the 2nd bridge you cross), then turn right into the construction site for Crestley/Landsea Homes. Park in cul de sac to the right

🚙From Topanga Cyn Blvd – go north on Topanga past the 118. Turn right on Poema Pl, but don’t go all the way to 21600. Before the bridge turn left into Crestley/Landsea Homes construction site. Park in cul de sac on right.
