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 #1 ==============================
This first area of the Razorbacks is where I was first introduced to these spectacular weather created rock sculptures in the Los Padres National Forest while on a Cub Scout outing at Camp Three Falls over 25 years ago with my son. Access will be via a 4+ mile 500′ gain round trip trail starting at 5500′ and reaching our viewing destination at 6000′.
MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME:
The Flying J Travel Center in Lebec at 8:00 am:

From here we’ll caravan to the Three Falls Boy Scout Camp where we will start the hike.
DISTANCE: 4+ miles
ROUTE: Double and single track trails to the ridgeline overlooking THE BOWL.
ELEVATION GAIN/LOSS: 500’+/500’+
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. This event is perfect for our WW (Walking Wounded) members.
LUNCH OPTION: After the hike, as an option, those interested can join me for a late lunch The Falcon Nest in Frazier Park.
LEVEL: Advanced beginner
