SUMMARY:Ebikes\, Fried Chicken and a Coastal hike
DESCRIPTION:We’re going to ride some EAHORA ebikes in Anaheim\, have fried chicken for lunch and then do a beach hike. \nEBIKES – We’re going to check out EAHORA bikes. David just bought the one pictured above one and we found out that we could test ride several of their models at Duke’s Bicycles in Anaheim. That ‘s our first stop where we’ll do some test rides and see how we like them. \nFRIED CHICKEN – Anaheim is also the home of Knott’s Berry Farm which Paul claims has the best fried chicken. We’re heading there for lunch. \nBEACH HIKE – We’ll do the “Point Vicente Beach Walk’ (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/point-vicente-park)\, a 5.6 mile coastal trail in Palos Verdes. We may stop at Nelson’s restaurant (https://www.terranea.com/dining/nelsons) for a drink\, snack or dinner as we’ll be walking right past it during the hike. \nIf you have to be somewhere later that day\, don’t commit to this. This event will be over when it’s over. Also\, if you don’t plan to do all of the events\, you’ll need to ride with someone who has similar plans. The end time posted above is a wild guess. \nMEETUP TIME\, LOCATION AND DIRECTIONS:Our first stop is: Duke’s Bicycles\,1401 S Kraemer Blvd unit D · Anaheim\, CA at 11 am \nOur 2nd stop is “MRS. KNOTT’S CHICKEN DINNER RESTAURANT” at 8039 Beach Blvd\, Buena Park\, CA 90620https://tinyurl.com/s4s3tjmj \n3rd stop is in Rancho Palos Verdes:https://tinyurl.com/vv6n3864 \nEARLIER MEETUP LOCATION: Those out my way can meet me in Woodland Hills at 9:50 a.m. and take off from there in a car pool. Meet at the corner of Leonora Dr. and Ponce Avenue. Ponce Ave. is the first street east of Fallbrook. We can park on Ponce which is not in front of any homes. We can load the cars up here\, since there isn’t a car shuttle involved on this event. Those that don’t drive can help pay for gas. \nELEVATION GAIN/LOSS: 500 feet \nDISTANCE: 5.6 miles \nTERRAIN: Single track and road \nEXPERIENCE LEVEL: Advanced Beginner \nMY CELL# IS: 805-358-5972

If you are not fully vaccinated then you must follow all safety guidelines regarding Covid. This means 6-ft social distancing\, and wearing a mask when necessary.2. We hike as a group and will not leave anyone behind. \n****Early start time to beat the heat\, although we should be fine since this trail is partly shaded with a short walk on the fire road**** \nLet’s continue to bag some peaks in the San Gabriel mountains. \nStoddard Peak is in the front range of the San Gabriel Mountains. As we walk through a shaded forest\, we will pass through some really interesting cabins that are currently occupied by residents. So let’s be respectful of their privacy and keep the talking to a minimum until we are out in the clear. The final push to the summit is a use semi-steep path that involves some rock scrambling. Once on top\, we will be rewarded with 360-degree views of Mt. Baldy and the surrounding peaks. \nStats:Level-Strong intermediate/NO BEGINNERSDistance- 7 miles r/tGain- 1300′ (approximate)Terrain- fire road and single track trailsRestrooms- none at the trailheadDogs- NOT ALLOWED ON THIS HIKEParking- free \nDirections: from the 210 W- exit Baseline\, turn left\, then another quick left and make a right on Padua Ave\, then on Mt.

SUMMARY:New Las Virgenes Creek Trail (Overgrown?)
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.NEED HELP:go to: https://wp.me/P9MbG4-hC \nI will be hiking 4 miles along the relatively new Las Virgenes Creek trail again\, which we did recently as a tribute to Babu Bill. We found the trail\, after all the money and hard work put into building it\, has been neglected since it was opened. However\, at the end of our hike\, we heard workers apparently clearing out the overgrowth with chain saws. For that reason I want to go back and check their progress. This will be perfect for strong beginners that can handle 4 miles with little elevation gain and possibly an overgrown trail again. \nMEETUP LOCATION: Juan Bautista de Anza Park 3701 Lost Hills Rd\, Agoura Hills.

We found the trail after all the money and hard work put into building it has been neglected since it was opened. However at the end of our hike we heard workers apparently clearing out the overgrowth with chain saws. For that reason I want to go back and check their progress. This will be perfect for strong beginners that can handle 4 miles with little elevation gain and possibly an overgrown trail again. \nMEETUP  Juan Bautista de Anza Park 3701 Lost Hills Rd Agoura Hills.

The goal is to help some of our members recovering from injuries to get back in shape as they join our slower and older CDH members on easy 3+ mile walks/hikes with very little elevation gain. Join me if you would like to be part of this. It’s also a great way to get started. \nThere are three parks in Camarillo (Mission Oaks Dog Park\, Mission Oaks Park and Heritage Park) and Mission Oaks Tree Walk that we can walkabout. There will be minimal sidewalk use linking up these parks with 90% of the hike in the parks. So\, here’s the chance to join our Monday hikes and not be overwhelmed on this one with speed\, distance and elevation gain. \nLOCATION AND TIME: We’ll all meet at The Heritage Park at 9:00 a.m. SEE LINK BELOW FOR EXACT LOCATION IN PARKhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B014’03.7%22N+118%C2%B059’00.7%22W/@34.2343641\,-118.9850756\,653m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.2343614!4d-118.983528 \nRESTROOMS: Yes \nDISTANCE: 3.5+ miles \nELEVATION GAIN: 200′ \nLEVEL: Beginner\, slow\, old and walking wounded \nTERRAIN: This event will have us walking on paved walkways and trails\, \nDOGS ALLOWED: YES\, but you must keep them on a leash and clean up after them.

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 a previous trip there.

SUMMARY:Clouds Rest from Tenaya Lake
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: \nCurrently\, you need a reservation to enter Yosemite.

Or thereabouts. You can definitely see a lot of stuff from here.” that’s according to yosemitehikes.comThe best part for me though is if you bring pair of binoculars\, then you can watch hikers making their way up the Half Dome cables from here. \nStats: \nDistance: 14.5 miles R/TGain: 2\,500 ftElevation at Clouds Rest: 9\,926 ftDifficulty: Advanced due to distance and altitude \nScenery Summary: This hike is all about the destination\, from which you’ll have striking views in every direction\, including\, perhaps most gripping of all\, straight down. Turn a complete circle and you’ll be able to see any number of Yosemite landmarks\, including Tenaya Lake\, Half Dome\, Mt. Hoffman\, Sentinel Dome\, North Dome\, and bits of Cathedral Rocks and El Capitan\, plus Merced Lake and dozens of peaks you probably won’t be able to name. \nMeetup Location \nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/Sunrise+Lakes+Trailhead/@37.8258323\,-119.4706167\,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x19b84a80ca5ac7d3!8m2!3d37.8261139!4d-119.469814?hl=en \nParking: A lot at the trailhead holds a dozen or so cars.

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day @ Rancho Sierra Vista
DESCRIPTION:I’ll lead in with saying that this event is not an official Calabasas Day Hikers event\, and I’m not the official host. \nWith Saturday being National Public Lands Day\, I thought I’d take some hike time and spend it giving back to one of the areas our group uses most. It’s sponsored by one of our benefactors\, the Santa Monica Mountains Fund. It’s local; the Rancho Sierra Vista is in Newbury Park. I’ve volunteered there a few times. The staff is great at explaining what the goal is that day and how to achieve it. A great experience\, and it affords an understanding of the hard work needed to keep our natural areas well\, natural. It also leaves you with a sense of accomplishment\, and the staff will always appreciate your support. \nPlease follow this Eventbrite link: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/national-public-lands-day-rancho-sierra-vista-tickets-168650432985?utm_source=eventbrite&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=reminder_attendees_48hour_email&utm_term=eventname&ref=eemaileventremind \nThere will be snacks (granola bars\, etc.) and drinks. I recommend you bring your own so you know you have something you’ll eat. \nI’ll also note that the event has it’s own COVID practices\, so please follow those when you go. Whatever other rules\, if you’re showing signs of COVID\, please stay home and take care of yourself. \nWeather: Mid-60s at start; mid-70s at end (as of Thursday at 8 PM). UV Index is 7\, so bring sunscreen.Parking: FreeDogs: Not on this oneWater: They provide\, but you might bring some. I carry a couple of liters in a pack so it’s always plentiful and nearby. It’s warm when you’re working under the sun.Known hazards: Snakes\, trip/fall (wear hiking boots to keep feet protected). Depending on where we work\, maybe poison oak. \nDirections (see map below and at the link above):From Camarillo/Oxnard/Ventura:US-101 South to Wendy Dr. Turn left onto Wendy Dr. Turn right onto Borchard Rd. Turn left onto S Reino Rd.\, which will change to Potrero Rd. Turn left onto Big Sycamore Canyon Rd. Follow Big Syc Canyon to the parking lot. \nFrom LA and the SF and Antelope Valleys:Follow CA-14 South to the I-405 South\, then on to the US-101 North. Exit at Ventu Park Rd. and turn left. Turn right onto Lynn Rd. After 3.4 miles\, turn left onto S Reino Rd.\, which will change to Potrero Rd. Turn left onto Big Sycamore Canyon Rd. Follow Big Syc Canyon to the parking lot.

Well\, here’s another chance to enjoy this area below pinyon pine covered ridges as we use another easy canyon to access them. Of all the treks in the Razorbacks\, this was the most rewarding. This trek will be geared for intermediate hikers who love exploring. We’ll all be heading deep into a Razorback Bowl to enjoy what nature has carved out there. We’ll explore another canyon that we missed doing last time there. \nCheck out the photos posted on our last trip there:https://www.meetup.com/Westlake-Village-Hiking-Meetup-Group/photos/31183535/493787193/ \nMEETUP LOCATION AND TIME:The Flying J Travel Center in Lebec at 8:00 am:https://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B049’00.4%22N+118%C2%B053’10.2%22W/@34.8167674\,-118.8883557\,918m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m17!1m10!4m9!1m3!2m2!1d-119.1365275!2d34.7489344!1m3!2m2!1d-119.1584843!2d34.7287962!3e0!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.8167631!4d-118.8861666From here we’ll all caravan to the canyon where we will start the hike. \nTERRAIN: No\, this isn’t Utah\, but it sure seems like it.

Sure\, you can take a car along this paved road\, but you can’t enjoy it as much as what a bike ride offers. After biking Refugio road we’ll take the beach bike path between Refugio and El Capitan State Beachs and back. We can also add some additional mileage in the campgrounds. So\, join me on this exciting event. Road Bikes with strong riders are welcome.https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/map-sep-28-07-29-pm-5a2a330Make sure you bring along a spare inner tube. \nMEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: Meet at 9:00am at site below:https://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B028’01.0%22N+120%C2%B004’07.2%22W/@34.4669454\,-120.0693474\,291m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m22!1m15!4m14!1m8!2m2!1d-120.1945932!2d34.5287467!3m4!1m2!1d-120.1459206!2d34.5880421!3s0x80e953587346ca11:0xeae455cf9583cece!1m3!2m2!1d-120.0818546!2d34.5551858!3e0!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.4669435!4d-120.0686571 \nPARKING FEE: It’s FREE! \nDISTANCE: 26 miles maximum distance\, less if my battery doesn’t last \nDURATION: 6 hours \nELEVATION GAIN: 3000′ – It’s a demanding route for regular bikes\, but with our ebikes we’ll take on as much elevation gain as our weakest ebike (that’s mine) and/or ebiker (?) can handle.

It’s always fun. We’ll be biking. These are streets that you wouldn’t normally bike on due to traffic congestion and danger. This is a very casual trip as we’ll most likely be stopping for coffee and/or food along the way or anything interesting that we see and so those stops will determine when we get back. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon on bikes. \nHere’s the official description:https://www.ciclavia.org/heart_of_la21 \nHere’s the route map:https://tinyurl.com/yetwmadd \nMake sure you bring along a spare inner tube. \nIt’s always good to bring a bike lock. \nMEETUP LOCATION:The North-West end of MacArthur Park at the intersection of West 7th Street and S. Park View street or as close to this as you can get.https://tinyurl.com/tck234w4 \nIt’s important that you get there on time as we will be leaving that location promptly at 9 am. \nMEETUP PARKING:There is street parking in the area. My general preference is to park at611 S Carondelet St. Los Angeleshttps://tinyurl.com/9ar4vpczwhich is a parking garage that charges about $9.From there you just head south on Carondelet St past Wilshire and then turn left on 7th Street.

After the Station Fire in 2009 it was permanently closed.The impressive trail restoration was made possible by Restoration Legacy Crew back in 2018.

SUMMARY:JACKSON LAKE LOOP - A 9.5 MILE 2000' GAIN FALL COLORS HIKE

Some of the most beautiful forest in the range can be seen along the trail\, including huge ponderosa pine\, jeffrey pine\, white fir\, live oak\, black oak\, big-leaf maple\, alder\, and willow. The black oak and big-leaf maple turn brilliant reds and yellows in the fall\, providing a photographers’ feast that includes tremendous views across the southwestern Mojave Desert.West Blue Ridge provides stunning views down the East Fork San Gabriel River and across to 10\,064′ Mount Baldy. \nDrivers parking at Jackson Lake will need an ADVENTURE PASS. \nIf you have some place to be later in the day\, this event will not work for you. \nWe will be setting a slow pace with several breaks while staying together all the way so as not to lose anyone. \nCHECK OUT THE PHOTOS POSTED FROM THAT HIKE THERE IN 2014:https://www.meetup.com/calabasasdayhikers/photos/25092192/419820502/ \nDAY’S AGENDA \nSTART: Once we all arrive at Jackson Lake around 9:00 a.m.\, we’ll begin our trek along the Jackson Lake Trail to link up with the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). \nPCT: The PACIFIC CREST TRAIL is probably the most well known of all the trails on the west coast.
