BEFORE YOU WILL BE MOVED TO THE GOING LIST, YOU WILL NEED TO UPDATE YOUR CDH PROFILE (The three questions must be answered with a “yes”) IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO.

EXPLORATORY TREK AMONGST THE HOODOOS OF THE RAZORBACKS
I have to get this in now before the rains come and make it too hard to traverse the canyons.
This trek should prove to be more provocative than all previous trips into the Razorbacks as we hike amongst new Hoodoos and slot canyons.
Have you looked at our past events into the RAZORBACK ridge area of the Los Padres National Forest and wished you were able to enjoy this area but missed out. Well, I’ll now be posting a series of events for all our CDH members to enjoy this area below pinyon pine covered ridges. We’ll start off with the easier hikes and work up to exploratory ones. I’ll number these so that you’ll be able to identify which ones you have done. As in Bryce Canyon, there are many canyons, but unlike Bryce where you have to stay on the trails, this area has but one trail. the rest of the events will be x-country routes.
All our events will first have us meet at the Flying J Travel Center in Lebec and car pool from there to our destinations about 30 minutes away.
======================= RAZORBACKS #3 ==============================
This third area in the Razorbacks was first seen by us when we took a cross country trek above Bowl #3 to view the spectacular weather created rock sculptures in the Los Padres National Forest. For this trek we will be inside the bowl traveling 5+ miles with a gain of at least 1000′ in search of the incredible and mysterious Hoodoos that haunt this unique place.
MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME:
The Flying J Travel Center in Lebec at 8:00 am:

From here we’ll caravan to our destination a half hour away to begin our cross country trek. Although this trek will be geared for our intermediate hikers that like an off trail hike, our stronger hikers will enjoy this as well. Just remember that it will be at a slow intermediate pace. It’s a long day for a short trek but so worth it.
EARLIER MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: Agoura Hills Park and Ride at 6:30am

DISTANCE: 5+ miles
ROUTE: Cross country route along a ravine to reach the Hoodoos and slot canyons which we will explore for the first time in this new area.
ELEVATION GAIN/LOSS: 1000’+/1000’+
THE PACE: No faster than the slowest Trekker
DURATION: I’d like to get back to the cars no later than 2:00 p.m. It’s a short hike and a long drive, but the views are well worth it. We’ll spend a lot of time soaking in the views before heading back down.
LUNCH OPTION: After the hike, as an option, those interested can join me for a late in Frazier Park.
LEVEL: Intermediate hiker who likes cross country hiking and scrambling.
