Hike - šŸ¶s OK DESCRIPTION:Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nWeā€™ve been following the footsteps of ET since 2008 with the original HWD ET hike and its become one of our most popular hikes. Weā€™ll be hiking on a section of the The Palisades featured in the movie\, and will take our snack break at ā€œE.T. Parkā€ (Aliso Canyon Park) where they filmed some scenes from ET. \nThe open spaces and trails lacing Porter Ranch provides us the opportunity to wander the remaining vestiges of two riparian canyons and a cliff-rimmed hillside blanketed with aromatic sage. So let us set out for the suburban stronghold of Porter Ranch for a variegated loop through the hidden wilds and wild suburbia of the north valley including Aliso Canyon and Limekiln Canyon. Two oak-and sycamore-shaded canyons and eroded sedimentary outcroppings known as ā€œThe Palisadesā€ are some of the highlights. \nšŸŽ„Click or tap here for complete hike description with a special video that juxtaposes our hike with movie scenes \nšŸŗPost hike lunch is at Islands down the street at 11400 Porter Ranch Dr \nDonā€™t forget hiking gear for your dog: https://amzn.to/3uk05AP \nHike is about 8.3 miles with about 1\,300 ft total ascent.
