Lets hike a longer way to Angel Vista! We will start from the Oak Creek Canyon Trail off of Moorpark Road. This is a faster paced hike (only break is at the halfway point at the Vista).
To get there, take the Moorpark Road exit and then go west until you reach the dirt lot that says Los Robles Trail (that is not where we are meeting) and then go right onto Greenmeadow all the way to the end. The free paved parking is at Greenmeadow Park. We will meet at the the Oak Creek Canyon Trailhead.
Someone from another group I hike with calls this trail Space Mountain trail because there are a lot of blind curves and bikers on this trail.
It is important that the group sticks together on this trail as there are a few junctions that can be confusing and cause you to take a wrong turn and end up somewhere else. For that reason I suggest if you are a beginner or slower hiker to sit this one out, unless you are familiar with the trail.
