We will start early to beat the heat, entering the north branch of Lynnmere Trail via Thistle Trail, which connects the north and south branches of Lynnmere Trail. The Lynnmere Trail is high above Thousand Oaks, providing pleasant scenery along the Conejo Canyons, Wildwood Park, Paradise Falls, Boney Mountain, the Pacific Ocean, and glimpses of Mt. Baldy and points east. This route has plenty of ups and downs, but bypasses the area of loose gravel and rocks that cause it to be slippery.
Through the Lynnmere Trail’s south branch, we’ll reach the Wildwood Canyon Trail, then continue on the Indian Creek Trail, Moonridge Trail, and Indian Teepee Trail. Then, we will retrace our way back to our cars.
This is about a 5–6 mile hike with a total elevation gain/loss of about 1000 feet.
Directions:
From the 101 in Thousand Oaks, turn north on Lynn Road. Continue to drive to W. Janss Rd, then turn left. Continue to drive to Lynnmere Dr and turn right for the trailhead in about 300 yards.
