The Ed Davis Park in Towsely Canyon has several trails and we will take the most popular.
Distance: 6 miles
Elevation Gain: 1600 ft
Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate pace.
Dogs: are allowed in the park but must be leashed.
Parking: There is lots of free parking on the outside of the gate and also on the inside. Pay attention to the signs. There are paid parking as well.
Trail: Lollypop Loop trail that starts out on a flat road and narrows to a hiking trail that gets gradually steeper.
Sunset: 8: 04 pm. The hike should be finished before dark.
Known Dangers: Rattlesnakes, slip-‘n-fall, poison oak. There are tar pits along the trail. But they are avoidable.
Participation in the event consents to observance of the COVID-19 guidelines of the California Department of Public Health (CDPH):

RSVP’s: If you RSVP for an event be responsible and update your RSVP if your plans change. If your plans change at the last second and you’re not able to update your RSVP also let us know. In my opinion a no-show is someone who has no regard for following the guidelines we request from our members and will risk being removed from future events that have a limit.
DISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY:
I am a volunteer (i.e. not liable for the group). Safety is a priority for everyone in the group. Think of this as hiking with a group of friends.
Outdoor sports and other events we plan can be inherently dangerous and accidents may happen. By participating in any posted event, you’re taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. The Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and its organizers are not trained leaders and we do not confirm the qualifications of any of its members to lead or participate in trips. All participants take full responsibility for their own actions. If you choose to sign up for any Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup events, you are releasing the Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and it’s organizers from all liability in case of possible injuries as stated in paragraph 6.2 of the Meetup “Terms of Service” located on the bottom of the Meetup website. Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience.
