(SEE MAP FOR EXACT LOCATION) \nGOAL: Not to rush through this trek\, but to take our time having fun scrambling among the rocks and checking out the two caves along the way. \nDISTANCE: 4+ miles \nELEVATION GAIN/LOSS: 700’/700′ \nTHE PACE: No faster than the slowest hiker \nDURATION: 4+ hours of fun \nTERRAIN: Single track trails\, “use trails”\, and rock scrambling \nLEVEL: Intermediate Trekker who likes to scramble in a rocky environment. \nMY CELL# IS 805-358-5972 \nMake sure you wear a mask and practice CDC distancing guidelines.

It’s your choice who to follow at that point. We’ll all link up at Simi Peak and take the trail all the way back down to the cars \nMEETUP LOCATION: Oak Canyon Community Park’s middle parking area near restrooms:https://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B011’06.3%22N+118%C2%B046’14.0%22W/@34.1850891\,-118.7711132\,231m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d34.1850877!4d-118.7705659 \nMEETUP TIME: 8:00 a.m. \nDURATION: 4+ hours \nELEVATION GAIN: 1200′ \nDISTANCE: 6 miles \nTERRAIN: Easy trails to steep rock scrambling along with some bush avoidance \nPACE: As fast as the slowest hiker \nLEVEL: ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE with rock scrambling skills. \nDOGS ALLOWED: NO \nSUGGESTIONS: Bring gloves\, trekking poles\, micro spikes 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.

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.
