SUMMARY:New Year's Hike: Mini Bulldog Loop - MASH Site - Lost Cabin Trail
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a hike in Malibu Creek State Park the other groups don’t do. Our old destination\, the stone house\, is gone but this moderately strenuous 7-miler is still a great diversion from the usual MCSP treks. \nWe’ll start at the western end of Crags Rd near Malibou Lake and head on up to Lakeside Lateral and the Bulldog Mtwy via Maqueketa Terrace. We’ll loop the lateral and from there we descend down along the Bulldog Lateral. Bulldog is a fire road/powerline access road that descends crookedly along slopes thickly clothed in chaparral and will provide rewarding views of Goat Buttes. \nNear the bottom we’ll come across a dry creek bed then take Crags Rd to the MASH site. After paying homage to Hawkeye\, we’ll visit the Lost Cabin site. The trail to the site probably has the most beautiful surroundings in the park with the red sandstone Goat Buttes to the north and green\, rugged mountains to the south. It is very secluded with few travelers. \nHIKE IS ABOUT 7 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,300 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE \nDirections \nWe’ll meet in the Malibou Lake Neighborhood on the corner of Crags Dr and Lookout Dr. Park on neighboring streets such as Lookout Dr\, Seminole Dr or Olivera Dr.

SUMMARY:Temescal Waterfall & Pasta
DESCRIPTION:Raise your hand if you’ve been to Temescal Canyon but never seen the waterfall at full flow…..or the 2nd waterfall. \nThose of you who raised your hand\, RSVP today! \nTemescal Canyon is a very popular hiking spot with great views of the ocean and LA basin on clear days\, a seasonal waterfall\, and a densely wooded canyon. \n💦But this won’t be your typical Temescal trek! I expect to see a gushing waterfall and a flowing creek. \n**😋**Post Hike Lunch at Spruzzo\nJust a couple miles away at the corner of Sunset and Palisades Dr\n538 Palisades Dr\, Los Angeles\, CA 90272 \nWe’ll begin at the lower end of the first parking lot and walk along Temescal Creek on the Sunset Trail. After 0.4 miles we’ll head up the Ridge Trail under chaparral arches with some nice views of the Palisades and the Pacific Ocean beyond. \nAfter a sustained climb we’ll turn west on the Leacock Trail toward wide ocean views. Then we will turn onto the less traveled Bienveneda Trail which will take us back up to Temescal Ridge. \nWe then descend into Temescal Canyon\, dropping through chaparral and heavier vegetation\, reaching the canyon floor and cross a foot bridge just downstream of the waterfall. We’ll can go off-trail to get a closer look. \n👉 Did you know there is a 2nd waterfall below the bridge? \nWe’ll hike along the creek back to our meeting spot as the the trail transforms into an easy stroll through pleasant groves. \nHike is rated MEDIUM at about 5 miles and 1\,300′ total ascent. See hike rating guide \nDirections \nTemescal Gateway Park is located in Pacific Palisades\, just one mile north of Pacific Coast Highway at the intersection of Temescal Canyon Road and Sunset Boulevard. \nPark for free on Sunset or Temescal\, or enter park and use the first pay lot on the left. Meet at park entrance on corner under Park Sign \nFrom Los Angeles\, take the Santa Monica Freeway (10) West until it becomes Pacific Coast Highway(PCH). Continue West on PCH. Turn right (North) on Temescal Canyon Road and continue for 1 mile. Park on street \nFrom the Conejo and San Fernando Valley\, take Topanga Canyon Boulevard South to Pacific Coast highway(PCH). Turn left (East) on PCH. Go Left (North) on Temescal Canyon Road and continue for 1 mile. Park on street

SUMMARY:Adventure Hike: Upper Zuma Falls
DESCRIPTION:I normally reserve this hike for the HWD VIPs\, but this month I am inviting all HWD members. VIPs are members that have made a donation or assisted with trail work. For more info see https://www.hikingwithdean.com/vip-circle/ \nWe will begin by hiking northwest on the Backbone Trail to Upper Zuma Canyon. Our first stop will be Newton Canyon Falls\, a beautiful waterfall in a lush\, forested grotto with moss-covered rocks. \nNewton Falls is just the appetizer. Our main course will be Upper Zuma Falls. While on the main trail it can be seen from the distance. However\, back in 2010\, we did an exploratory hike and found a path to the base of the falls. Although we will be hiking off the main trail to get to the falls\, the way has become popular and is now relatively clear of obstacles. \nAfter visiting the falls\, we’ll return to the trail and continue to Zuma-Trancas Ridge\, turn north\, and take my (still) secret trail I found in 2011 to to the top of the falls. We’ll take a snack break by the pool at the top of the falls. \nBring the usual stuff\, but most importantly\, bring a sense of adventure! Wear long pants. \nHIKE IS ABOUT 7 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,350 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE \nDirections\nNote: Parking is limited. Please use use Kanan Park and Ride for carpooling: 29166 Roadside Dr\, Agoura Hills\, CA 91301 \nIMPORTANT \nTrail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. \nBring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need. Trail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers. The function of the member or organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who shows up for a trip/meetup (and their guest or guests) is responsible for his or her own safety.

SUMMARY:Calabasas Peak Without the Fireroads - A Lollipop Hike
DESCRIPTION:Our destination is a familiar one but on this trek we’ll stay off the fire and service roads that everyone else uses. \nCalabasas Peak (2163 ft) towers over Red Rock Canyon\, Old Topanga Canyon and bowl-shaped Cold Creek Canyon. From the top there are spectacular views into Ventura County\, the Pacific Ocean and San Fernando and Simi valleys. \nWe’ll begin at the Calabasas-Cold Creek Trail (aka Secret Trail) and wind our way through shaded ravines\, dense chaparral and sandstone outcrops until we reach Calabasas Peak Motorway. Here we throw away the hiking book (I lose so many books this way) and instead of taking the Motorway to Calabasas Peak\, we’ll go off-trail along some use trails. \nWe’ll not only bag the peak\, but we’ll also circumnavigate it along an old overgrown trail \nOptional: There are a lot of giant sandstone slabs and other formations to explore\, but not required. Members who like rock climbing are encouraged to do so\, the rest of us will take pictures \nHike is 4.7 miles with about 1\,200 feet total ascent and is rated MEDIUM. See Hike Rating Giude \nThis hike is sponsored by Amazon – https://amzn.to/2GnCP0a \nDon’t forget to join our FB group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nDirections \nThe trail head is located on Mulholland Hwy less than a fifth of a mile west of Dry Canyon Cold Creek Road. \nFrom the 101 freeway in Agoura/Calabasas\, head South on Las Virgenes Road to Mulholland Hwy. Turn Left on Mulholland and continue 5.7 miles to a small parking area on the right. or…. \nFrom 101 Ventura Fwy in the Valley: take Valley Circle/Mulholland Dr exit south\, turn right on Valmar Rd (becomes Old Topanga Cyn Rd) then right on Mulholland Hwy 2.1 miles to the parking area on the left. \nFrom PCH take Topanga Canyon and turn left up Old Topanga. Take a left at Mulholland Hwy for a couple miles and then turn left onto turnout. If you are coming up Malibu Canyon take a right at Mulholland for 5.7 miles \nPark on street\, off-pavement. \nBring at least 2 qts water\, snacks\, sunscreen. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.

SUMMARY:Hail To The Trail: Presidents' Day Hike at the Old Reagan Ranch
DESCRIPTION:An HWD Classic! \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/1/3/6/600_331189462.jpeg \nDuring the 1950s\, when Ronald Reagan hosted TV’s “Death Valley Days\,” he wanted a more rural retreat than his home in Pacific Palisades. So he bought a 305-acre ranch in the hills of Malibu as a place to raise thoroughbred horses and dubbed it “Yearling Row.” \nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/4/6/a/600_331190282.jpeg \nReagan Ranch (1957-1967)\, now part of Malibu Creek State Park\, is a delight for hikers\, who can enjoy the ranch’s rolling meadow land and grand old oaks. Trails loop through the Reagan Ranch and connect with the main part of the state park. We’ll use a combination of trails–Yearling\, Deer Leg\, Lookout\, Crags Road and Cage Canyon–to explore Reagan Country and the heart of the park\, including Century Lake and the MASH site. \nHike will be about 6.5 miles with 1\,000 feet total ascent and is rated MEDIUM. See the HWD Hike Ratings Guide – https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-ratings/ \nPost Hike shenanigans at Island Restaurant on the northwest corner of Kanan and Agoura Rds \nThis hike is sponsored by Amazon – https://amzn.to/2GnCP0a \nDIRECTIONS \nThe Old Reagan Ranch parking lot is on the Southeast corner of Cornell Rd and Mullholland Hwy \nInteractive Map with post-hike lunch: https://goo.gl/UEFVF3 \nParking: \nIn addition to the parking lot there is parking on both sides of Lake Vista Dr. If you are parking in the lot\, please park efficiently as show in this photo: https://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/28595772/ \nTrail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. Bring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need. \nTrail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly. \nThe Organizers and members in this group are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.

SUMMARY:Zuma Canyon - Big Loop
DESCRIPTION:Zuma Canyon is distinguished for being one of the deepest gorges in the Santa Monica Mountains and\, unlike Topanga or Malibu Canyons\, has never suffered incursion by a major road. \nWe’ll start at Lower Zuma Canyon and take the Zuma Loop trail west to the Zuma Ridge trail. The views improve as the trail climbs\, and there are several great lookouts of Zuma Beach\, Point Dume\, and the ocean beyond. Turning north and climbing further will provide views of Trancas Canyon and Upper Zuma Canyon. \nAfter a brief rest to catch our breath and take in the views\, we turn east and descend a lush trail into Zuma Canyon proper. Here we will enjoy a snack break beside the shady Zuma Creek before hiking up the opposite ridge. We continue on this ridge for while then turn south on the Zuma Canyon Connection trail\, take this to Ocean View Trail and descend to the Bonsall Trailhead and back to our starting point. \n🌄The hike will be about 11 miles with a total ascent of about 2900 ft. 1700 of that is in the first 3 miles. Later there is a 1000 foot gain between mile 5.5 and mile 7.5. Hike is rated DIFFICULT. See the Hike Rating Guide \nBring at least 2 qt water\, snacks\, hat\, sunscreen\, camera. \n🚗Carpooling is highly recommended. There is a convenient park-and-ride by Kanan & 101 \n👉All hikers must stay on established trails. Practice “Leave No Trace” – take only pictures and leave only footprints \nDirections to trail head: \nWe will be starting the hike promptly at 9:00am. If you want to start at 9:00 am with us plan your trip so that you arrive at least 20 minutes early. \nTake 101 and exit Kanan Rd. Head south toward beaches and turn right on PCH. After about 1/4 mile turn right on Bonsall Dr. Proceed 1 mile up Bonsall until it ends and continue into dirt parking lot. \n👉Important \nTrail statistics are approximate and based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly. \nFor safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. Bring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.

SUMMARY:Upper Las Virgenes - Mt. Basura - Cheeseboro Loop
DESCRIPTION:Our hike will consist of traveling along the Dean’s Cut trail connecting the underbelly of Las Virgenes and Cheseboro Canyons. The star of this hike is Mt Basura\, known for its year-round snow-less skiing. We’ll take or break here. \nNote: this hike was a VIP hike. Now my overgrown secret trail is wide open and named “Dean’s Cut.” \nCheeseboro Canyon is located in the northernmost section of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. It is from these hills that water in the canyons flow to the Pacific. The Chumash Indians lived in these canyons for thousands of years. Many trails within the canyons were original Chumash trails before they were expanded by cattle ranchers. In this large expanse of habitat\, deer\, bobcats\, coyotes and rabbits roam. \nToday\, a great diversity of plants and animals live in the canyons. Wide-spread oaks and outcrops of sedimentary rock provide excellent nesting sites for owls\, hawks and other raptors. The abundance of raptors indicates a large prey population\, especially small mammals and reptiles. In more rugged areas where cattle didn’t graze\, we can still find a variety of native plant communities\, including chaparral\, coastal sage scrub and riparian woodlands. \nA couple of unique facts regarding these canyons: \n• Cheeseboro Canyon has the largest concentrations of birds of prey nesting areas in the U.S. outside of Alaska. \n• The Valley Oak tree\, the largest oak native to the United States and possibly the world\, live in these canyons in what might be the largest southerly stand of trees left. \nHIKE IS ABOUT 8 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,400 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE \nPost Hike Lunch \nLa Paz Restaurant\n4505 Las Virgenes Rd.\nCalabasas\, CA 91302 \nDirections to Trailhead \nTo get to trailhead take 101 and exit Las Virgenes Rd. Turn north (away from beach) to end of road. If you are coming up from PCH\, drive up Malibu Canyon to the end (Malibu Cyn changes its name to Las Virgenes Rd). Park on the street.

SUMMARY:The Pentachaeta Loop
DESCRIPTION:This one is another HWD original! I put this one together back in 2009 after exploring some Westlake Village use trails. With the combination of use trails\, some minor rock scrambling and views of two local lakes\, the result is probably the best hike in Westlake Village. \nThe Pentachaeta Trail\, the main feature of Triunfo Creek Park\, is named after the Pentachaeta lyonii\, a federally-listed endangered flower found in the park. The yellow\, daisy-like flower is found only in Southern California\, and blooms between April and June. \nWe will join each end of the Pentachaeta Trail with the ridgeline that divides Triunfo and Lobo Canyons to make a 5.5-mile loop. Along the way we will have views of the Las Virgenes Reservoir and Westlake Reservoir. We may do some peakbagging too! There is a total ascent of about 1\,400 ft with 700′ of it in the first 1.5 miles\, some of it rocky. A trekking pole (for a couple of downhill sections) and sturdy hiking boots recommended. \nHike is rated DIFFICULT due to terrain. See the HWD Hike Rating Guide \nDirections:\nFrom the 101 Freeway exit Lindero Canyon Rd and turn south. At the end of Lindero\, turn left onto Triunfo Canyon Rd. Park on street. Trailhead is on the right\, across from entrance to Oak Forest Mobile Home Park. \nImportant \nTrail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated. \nBring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need. Trail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.

SUMMARY:Mission Point The Hard Way
DESCRIPTION:O’Melveny Park spreads over 672 acres\, second on the list of largest parks within the City of Los Angeles\, right after Griffith Park. Noted for its picture-perfect picnic grounds with white fences and towering eucalyptus trees\, O’Melveny Park also challenges hikers with several miles of steep\, backcountry fire roads and primitive trails. \nNormally our hike to the highest spot in the San Fernando Valley known as Mission Point uses the steep Grotto Trail or my alternate no-name one used last year to get to the top. Our return would use the Bee Canyon trail \nHowever\, this time we will explore some of those little used and overgrown trails we have seen crisscrossing our other paths. Instead of returning via Bee Canyon\, we’ll use the Pipleline Trail (an alternate to Neon Way) \nTrekking poles recommended for this one: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/shop/amazon-top-10/ \nHike is about 5 miles with 1500 ft total ascent and rated DIFFICULT due to terrain. See the Hike Rating Guide \nHistorical Note \nO’Melveny Park takes its name from the well-known family of Los Angeles lawyers who once owned a gentleman’s ranch here. John O’Melveny bought the land in 1941 and called it CJ Ranch. Cattle roamed the hills\, a citrus orchard was planted\, and family members enjoyed spending weekends roaming the mountains. Although areas near the ranch were oil-rich\, exploration on the ranch was unsuccessful. The O’Melvenys deeded half their ranch to Los Angeles\, and the city purchased the rest \nDirections \nHead for O’Melveny Park using the map pin and Google Maps. The parking lot is small and fills up quickly. Plan on parking on neighboring streets. \nTrail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated.\nBring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need. \nTrail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers. The function of the member or organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who shows up for a trip/meetup (and their guest or guests) is responsible for his or her own safety.

Highlights during this stroll through a wooded canyon include ocean views. From here we’ll hook up with dirt Mulholland and head east to Garapito Canyon \nWe’ll then descend the narrow Garapito Trail cutting a sinuous course through mature chaparral — mostly mountain mahogany and ceanothus up to 20 feet tall. The blossoms of the ceanothus exude an attractive wild honey scent in spring. Tunneling through the tall brush\, the trail eventually switchbacks down to the sycamore-shaded canyon bottom\, crossing two forks of Garapito Creek and then contours a short distance over to an east fork. \nAfter rising out of Garapito Canyon Eagle Rock will come into view. The most impressive landmark in all of Topanga State Park\, it will afford us an airy perch overlooking the upper watershed of Santa Ynez Canyon and the ocean beyond. We will snack and explore on this impressive sandstone rock covered with crevices and caves. \nAfter that we’ll take the Cheney Ridge trail and across Summerhill Ranchback to Santa Maria Canyon to complete the loop. \n\n\nHIKE IS ABOUT 12 MILES WITH ABOUT 2\,500 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT. SEE THE HWD HIKE RATING GUIDE \n\nSome of this hike\, at the beginning and end\, is along paved and dirt country roads\, and provides a nice little walking tour of the Topanga neighborhood. There will also be a short walk on Topanga Canyon. \nDirections \nWe’ll meet at the Viewridge Trail \n \nFrom Highway 101: drive south on Topanga Canyon Blvd for 3.7 miles. Turn left on Viewridge and drive 0.5 miles to the end of the road. \nFrom Pacific Coast Highway: head north on Topanga Canyon Blvd. for 9 miles and turn right on Viewridge. \nPark by end of street.

SUMMARY:Coquina Mine Loop - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This loop will include a shortcut to the Coquina Mine in Las Llajas Canyon. It was formerly a VIP hike\, however the shortcut has been getting a lot of use in recent years and I have opened the hike to entire group. \nWe’ll start behind a dam and along some lesser known trails above Chivo Canyon. We return via the canyon trail. Highlights along the way: \n\nPower shovel and other artifacts from a 1929-1935 limestone strip mining operation\nFossils\nTar pits\nRanching remnants\n\nIn Part 2 we will use the classic approach and extend the hike along some private trails and a creek making a 9 mile loop. \nHike is about 7 miles with appx 1\,600′ total ascent is rated DIFFICULT due to terrain. See the Hike Rating Guide \n[Note: We did this last November\, but it got so windy I had to alter our course. This time we do it as planned] \nDirections\nFrom the 118 take Yosemite Dr north toward the hills for 1.6 miles. As you round the bend you will pass the trailhead and the name of the street changes to Cottonwood Dr. Make a right on Westwood St and park at corner. We meet on the corner at 9am \nImportant\nTrail statistics are approximate. For safety purposes always assume they are underestimated. But don’t be disappointed if they are overestimated.\nBring more water and snacks than you think you’ll need. \nTrail descriptions are based on previous hikes. Current conditions are unknown until arrival. Expect the unexpected and plan accordingly. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.

We’ll soon meet up with Temescal Ridge trail and head over to Temescal Lookout. At this point our “NO FIREROAD RULE” will be in effect. \nBring food and drink to share and we’ll find some comfy spots among the ruins of an old ranger station/fire lookout \nOur destination awaits us! \nAlong the way don’t forget to check out an old quarry marked by a single out of place palm tree juxtaposed against the indigenous chaparral. \n🌞Sunset 8:02\n🌕Moonrise: 8:06 \nHIKE IS ABOUT 5.5 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,200 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEEDIUM+ DUE TO TERRAIN.

SUMMARY:Hump Day Hike: Musch Loop to Eagle Rock
DESCRIPTION:Eagle Rock\, the most impressive landmark in all of Topanga State Park\, will afford us an airy perch overlooking the upper watershed of Santa Ynez Canyon and the ocean beyond. We will eat\, drink and explore on this impressive sandstone rock covered with crevices and caves. \nWe begin hiking at Trippet Ranch\, walking north on a paved driveway about 100 yards to where the Musch Trail slants to the right across a grassy hillside. \n \n[asa2_collection tpl=”Flat_box_horizontal” orderby=”rand” show_features=”no” show_description=”no” limit=”1″]2[/asa2_collection] \nOn that trail we’ll plunge into the shade of oak and bay laurel trees. After contouring around a couple of north-flowing ravines\, we rise to meet a trailside campground at the former Musch Ranch. \n \nBeyond the campground\, Musch Trail climbs through sun-baked\, fragrant chaparral. \n \nAfter many twists and turns we will reach a ridgetop fire road at Eagle Junction. We begin to see Eagle Rock looming over ravines plunging south toward the sea. The rock\, a sandstone outcrop pitted with small caves\, is a good example of the 15-million-year-old Topanga Canyon Formation that crops out in various parts of the Santa Monica Mountains. \n \nWe’ll return to Trippet Ranch via the rolling East Topanga Fire Road. Hike is about 5 miles. \nBring a snacks and drink to share and we’ll usher in the New Year \n[vc_message style=”square” message_box_color=”warning” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-area-chart”]HIKE IS ABOUT 5 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED EASY+. WERE DOING THIS HIKE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE FIRST COUPLE MILES IS ON FIREROAD WITH 700′ ASCENT. See the Hike Ratings Guide[/vc_message] \n\n  \nDirections\nFrom Topanga Canyon Boulevard\, turn east on Entrada Road; that’s to the left if you are coming from the San Fernando Valley. Follow Entrada Road by turning left at every opportunity until you arrive at Topanga State Park. \nPark on street before the last left turn (and walk a couple blocks) or pay the ranger in the park ($12?). If you park on street be sure that your left wheels are inside the white line. Note parking restrictions. We’ll meet by the bathrooms (of course!).
