SUMMARY:The 101 Wildlife Crossing at Liberty Canyon: A presentation by Beth Pratt
DESCRIPTION:Cross-Posted from the Conejo Open Space Foundation \nRegister now for the first of the 2021 COSF Speaker Events. \nPlease join COSF for a live online presentation by Beth Pratt who will share news on the Liberty Canyon wildlife crossing. Her presentation will be on Thursday March 11th at 6:30 pm. COSF will send instructions on how to join the Zoom webinar to people who sign up (https://cosf.org/events/register/) the day before the event. The number of attendees is limited so sign up soon! \nWhile this is a free event\, COSF suggests a donation of $10. Your support for future Speaker Series presentations and COSF’s other activities would be greatly appreciated. \nBeth will discuss the importance of connectivity and wildlife crossings\, and give an update on the #SaveLACougars campaign. With the 101\, 405\, and other major roadways essentially trapping them in an island environment\, what are the future prospects for our native pumas? “As someone who spent most of my career working in remote wilderness areas\, my main priority is now urban wildlife conservation and creating co-existence strategies in our human spaces\,” she says. \nBeth has been the National Wildlife Federation’s California regional executive director since 2011 and is a lifelong wildlife advocate. She has spearheaded the efforts to raise funds and public support for a wildlife crossing over the 101 freeway at Liberty Canyon in Agoura Hills. The crossing\, which COSF has pledged $10\,000 toward\, will ensure the safety and genetic diversity of the area’s mountain lions and other wild animals. With Caltrans finalizing design and engineering plans in July\, construction should begin in late 2021. \nTo sign up for this event\, go to https://cosf.org/events/register/ and fill in the form.

SUMMARY:THE RAZORBACK BOWL'S PEAK - Easier cross country route
DESCRIPTION: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. \nLike others in our group\, I just can’t get enough of this area. (it’s so unique and isolated).PAST EVENT THERE via a much tougher routehttps://www.meetup.com/calabasasdayhikers/photos/30505729/486440049/#486456295Have 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 the events were for strong intermediate trekkers. Here’s a chance to gain the top of the RAZORBACK via its back door and look down into its bowl below (see picture of the bowl above). This route will be a much easier way to get there than what we have attempted in the past. Although this trek will be geared for our intermediate hikers that like an easier 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. \nI had our much stronger Friday hikers in mind when I created this easier excursion into The Los Padres National Forest. \nMICRO SPIKES will make trekking there so much easier\, especially if there’s still snow on the ground. \nIF YOU HAVE TO BE BACK BY A CERTAIN TIME\, PLEASE DON’T SIGN ON BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT. \nMEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: meet us at 8:45 am. at The Flying J Truck Stop (42810 Frazier Mountain Park\, Frazier Park)https://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B049’01.0%22N+118%C2%B053’10.5%22W/@34.8169462\,-118.8873463\,18z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!1m6!3m5!1s0x80e9efbe677d9285:0xf025c089e1668cd8!2sFlying+J+Travel+Center!8m2!3d34.816763!4d-118.887325!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.8169435!4d-118.8862521After meeting here we will then caravan 25 minutes to the Razorback area to begin our adventure. \nDISTANCE: 4 miles of 100% cross country trekking along a sandy stream bed and easy but steep ridge lines. \nELEVATION GAIN/LOSS: 900’/900′ \nTHE PACE: No faster than the slowest Trekker \nDURATION: I’d like to get back to the cars by 3:00 p.m. and stop off at Frazier Park for an optional debriefing in Frazier Park. \nTERRAIN: Trails? We don’t need no stinking trails to do this! We’ll first follow an old road a bit before following a sandy ravine to the base of a ridge leading us up to the backdoor ridge to the bowl. \nLEVEL: Intermediate Trekker with off trail experience. \nMY CELL# IS 805-358-5972 \nPOST HIKE DEBRIEFING: optional \nNO DOGS ALLOWED \nMake sure you wear a mask and practice CDC distancing guidelines.

Edelman Park is located in Summit Valley at the head of Topanga Canyon. The 1500 ft. ridge at the north end of this 659-acre park separates rural Topanga Canyon from the urban San Fernando Valley.

SUMMARY:STORMING THE CASTLE via the CAVE OF MUNITS and then a frontal assault
DESCRIPTION:THE CAVE’S ENTRANCE \nBEFORE 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. \nCASTLE PEAKJoin me on a task to storm the castle (Castle Peak) via two attempts in El Escorpion Park. The first assault will be a maneuver on its west flank via a cavern passage (Cave of Munits). This will require some class 3 rock climbing (using your hands to assist) as you can see from the photo above of (http://www.meetup.com/calabasasdayhikers/photos/1871301/31389991/) one of our past attempts. When this attempt fails\, we’ll regroup below and go for a frontal attack on the castle itself. One of the obstacles on this course will be a hive of bees in the castles ramparts. By way of a traverse maneuver we’ll overcome this and overtake Castle Peak. Having conquered the castle\, we’ll break to enjoy the views our conquest has to offer. \nAccording to Chumash oral tradition\, this cave was the home of a very powerful shaman who met his demise after murdering the son of a tribal chief. \nMEETUP TIME: No later than 8:00 a.m. (Boots on\, ready to go) \nLOCATION: Near El Escorpion Park in West Hills on Highlander Rd. (SEE MAP FOR EXACT MEETUP LOCATION) \nELEVATION GAIN: 1200’+ \nDISTANCE: 4 miles \nDURATION: 3+ hours \nPACE: 2.5 mph on the trails and much slower on the climbs \nLEVEL: Intermediate hiker looking to challenge themselves \nMY CELL # IS 805-358-5972 \nMake sure you wear a mask and practice CDC distancing guidelines.

SUMMARY:In search of wildflowers on the way to Josephine Peak
DESCRIPTION: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 \nDuring the spring time Colby Canyon is filled with wild flowers. It is a beautifull trail that swtichbacks several times through chaparral and manzanitas. There is a small waterfall at the beginning of the hike and after the recent rains\, I am hoping to see some water flowing. Once we re-group at the saddle\, we will head towards Jospephine Peak. If it is a clear day we will be rewarded with 360-degree views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Our descent will be a fire road that involves a car pool shuttle back to our starting point. \nSince we are living in the age of Covid\, I am limiting this event to a max of 10 people due to social distancing. \nTHESE ARE THE RULES:1.

SUMMARY:LAKE ELEANOR'S LOOP TREK (THE CAVE AND SENTINEL) - a rock scrambling adventure
DESCRIPTION: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. \nA LOCAL\, BUT CHALLENGING TREK \nSHERWOOD’S SENTINEL – Stands guard over Lake Sherwood and Lake Eleanor with views of The Las Virgenes and Westlake Reservoirs as well \nTHE CAVE – We’ll be stopping off at the largest cave in the Santa Monica Mountains \nIf you’re looking for more of a challenge than what ordinary trails offer\, then join me as I once again lead you on a 4+ mile trek of pure excitement and adventure (horror for some of you) which will loop through the entire Lake Eleanor open space. In doing this loop\, we will be walking along roads for 1/2 of a mile\, hiking 3/4 mile on a trail\, trekking along 2+ miles of “use” trails\, going down a very steep old fire break over 1/4 mile\, and doing some challenging sections of class 3 rock climbing with a sheer drop-off/exposure. When we’re done\, you’ll have had your hiking fix satisfied many times over. Besides the variety of traversing different sections this loop offers\, you’ll also be rewarded by an awesome and provocative view of Lake Sherwood from one of its sentinels as well as views of Lake Eleanor\, Westlake and The Las Virgenes Reservoirs. The trek starts off extremely easy and gradually pumps up as we progress\, becoming quite frightening at times as we finish this loop maneuver on the Sentinel of Sherwood via a route to the cave as well. \nCheck out our photos from the last trip there. It’ll give you an idea what you’re in for.https://www.meetup.com/calabasasdayhikers/photos/30808711/489545270/ \nMEET UP LOCATION: Take Westlake Blvd. exit off the 101 Fwy. in Westlake Village and head south 1.5 miles and turn right on Potrero Rd. Drive 400 yards and turn right on Camberwell Pl. Immediately turn right and park on Margate Pl. per Google Map. The street signs say Potrero Rd. instead of Margate Pl. (Very confusing) \nMEETUP TIME: No later than 9:00 a.m. \nDURATION AND OBJECTIVE: Four plus hours or what ever it takes to accomplish THE TASK (Time\, Energy\, Fear\, Pain\, Blood\, Sweat\, Tears etc.). \nDISTANCE COVERED: 4+ miles – grueling at times \nEXPERIENCE LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE HIKER with rock scrambling skills \nPACE: A fun and comfortable pace for adventurous Trekkers. \nELEVATION GAIN: 1000′ + \nTERRAIN: Easy to rugged and extremely steep with sections of class 3 rock scrambling \nSUGGESTIONS: Bring gloves\, trekking poles and protective clothing \nMY CELL # IS 805-358-5972 \nCDC COVID POLICY: We’ll all wear a mask and practice CDC social distancing guidelines during this event.
