Backbone Trail: Corral Canyon to Latigo Canyon

https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/backbone-trail-corral-canyon-to-latigo-canyon

Hello Fellow Hikers,
(Please note later start time due to high for this day is showing 68 degrees plus its the day after Cinco De Mayo😉)
Lets hike the pretty Corral Canyon and Latigo Canyon on the Backbone Trail. Several hikers have commented on the wild flowers still in bloom along these trails. And with more rain coming our way it should still be nice and green as well. We are gonna do this hike in reverse as the original road to the starting point on AllTrails is closed. Carpooling at our same meetup spot will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool or follow to the trailhead (Best donuts located 2325 Kuehner Dr # 127 Simi Valley off the 118 freeway at 9:00 am) I have attached the AllTrails link for stats and photos. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/backbone-trail-corral-canyon-to-latigo-canyon

And last….The Organizer, Co Organizer, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides. The function of the Organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who signs up for an Event is responsible for his or her own safety and the safety of his or her guest. Remember this is your hike. All responsibilities are of your own once you attend. Please be aware of your limit. During outdoor activity you can encounter bodily injury, snake bites, sunburn, overheating, etc. This is not within our control and we ask that you are prepared for any of the above once you sign up for an Event. If you need to take several breaks (not counting quick breather breaks) and stops throughout a hike, the hike maybe too much for your ability. Please check each event for miles, elevation gain, and difficulty rating. The higher the elevation gain means more incline and less leveled off sections. We offer all levels of hikes from moderate to hard to advanced only. We encourage everyone to not give up work on your core by joining our easier moderate Events and then joining our harder hikes once you are ready. 😊
