Trail work at Zuma Canyon Post-Fire! DESCRIPTION:Volunteers will be working with individuals from the National Park Service and the Santa Monica Mtns Fund to repair trails burned in the Woolsey Fire of 2018. After the fire soils no longer held together by plant roots covered up trails throughout Zuma Canyon. The recent rains eroded many trails and allowed for plant regrowth to hide the trail corridor. Using hand tools\, we will redefine and reshape hiking trails so that the public may once again enjoy the canyon. This work not only improves public access and safety\, but it also protects recovering vegetation by clearly defining trail boundaries.  \nWhat to know: You may walk 1- 2 miles with your backpack and a tool! You will be swinging a hand tool repetitively\, it is hard work but many come to think of it as fun 🙂 Safety is paramount\, you will likely be asked to wear a hard hat. \nWhat to wear: Sturdy shoes or boots (closed toe only); wear long pants (NO SHORTS) and long sleeve shirt \nWhat to bring: Backpack\, reusable water bottle\, sunscreen\, gloves (if you have them)\, hat and a snack \n***We have a capacity on attendance for this event due to limited resources like parking and leadership. If it is sold out please be on the lookout for future trail work dates or we may add extra tickets last minute! This event is popular so please be sure you can attend before requesting a ticket. Carpooling is great! If you carpool to the location with a friend you will only need to request one ticket***  \nSignificant rain will cancel! \nDirections: Pacific Coast Hwy to Busch Drive. Go north on Busch Drive. Turn right on Rainsford Place. Turn left on Bonsall Drive. Parking lot is at end of road. Park at the Zuma Canyon Trailhead parking lot.  \nContact Tara Hallman for any questions. email: tara_hallman@partner.nps.gov URL:https://www.hikingwithdean.com/event/volunteer-opportunity-trail-work-at-zuma-canyon-post-fire/ LOCATION:Zuma Canyon Trailhead Parking Lot\, Bonsall Drive\, Malibu\, CA 90265\, Malibu\, CA\, 90265\, US CATEGORIES:Hiking With Dean ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hwdmedia.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/28202751/13181_image.jpg GEO:34.0242074;-118.8133183 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Zuma Canyon Trailhead Parking Lot Bonsall Drive Malibu CA 90265 Malibu CA 90265 US;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Bonsall Drive\, Malibu\, CA 90265:geo:-118.8133183,34.0242074 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190409T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190409T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T191008 CREATED:20190320T022117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190320T022117Z UID:10000015-1554832800-1554840000@www.hikingwithdean.com SUMMARY:Learn More about Los Angeles River Revitalization and Share Your Views DESCRIPTION:FROM THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY \nFlier: https://mrca.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ULART_Flyer.pdf\n4th in a series of 4 meetings \nThe Upper Los Angeles River & Tributaries Revitalization Plan will kick off informational community meetings and provide an opportunity to provide feedback toward reimagining your river\, creeks\, and streams.

Wilson — Benjamin Davis “Don Benito” Wilson\, merchant\, landowner\, civic leader\, as well as Los Angeles mayor from 1851 to 1852.  Wilson Canyon was purchased by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and opened as a park in 1996. \nTrekking poles will come in handy (but not required). Bring them if you got them. If you don’t have any\, I found a good deal on Amazon (HWD is an Amazon affiliate)\n\n\nOur hike will begin in Wilson Canyon Park. Oak woodlands\, an alder-lined creek and commanding San Fernando Valley vistas are some of the attractions of Wilson Canyon. After visiting an old abandoned miniature golf course and some artifacts from pre-Sylmar quake Olive View Hospital\, we’ll connect with a seldom used single track trail and begin our climb along the eastern ridge of the canyon.  \n[av_gallery ids=’13615\,13614\,13613\,13612\,13611\,13610\,13609\,13608′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’square’ columns=’4′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’deactivate_avia_lazyload’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nAfter a couple more miles we leave Conservancy land and enter the Angeles National Forest. There won’t be many trees\, but the ridges will be carpeted with emerald green grass and blooming scrub. Soon we will reach the Wilson Saddle on the Santa Clara Divide.  \n[av_gallery ids=’13629\,13628\,13627\,13626\,13625\,13624\,13623\,13622\,13621\,13619′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’square’ columns=’5′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’deactivate_avia_lazyload’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nWhile we are in the area we’ll bag Los Pinetos Peak (not officially a named peak). Los Pinetos Peak is a highpoint along the Santa Clara Divide Road. Host to an array of communication towers\, the summit affords generous views of the Santa Clarita Valley to the North\, Los Angeles to the South\, the San Gabriel Mountains to the East\, and the Santa Monica Mountains and Pacific Ocean to the West \n[av_gallery ids=’19309\,19310′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’square’ columns=’2′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’avia_lazyload’ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nCindy\, Gloria and I scouted out this hike last February.

They don’t call the hill “Heartbreak” for nothing. The first half mile contains a 500 ft elevation gain. The next mile has a couple rolling hills. After that its all downhill on the Phantom Trail into Liberty Canyon. We will exit the Preserve on Liberty Canyon Trail and return to Agoura Rd along residential Liberty Canyon Rd. \nIts not as bad as it sounds. Since the strenuous section is short\, this is a good hike for moderate hikers to test themselves. Net elevation gain is about 650 ft\, total ascent 1\,075 ft \n \n \nBring one quart water\, and a rewarding snack for the top \nDirections:\nFrom Highway 101\, exit on Liberty Canyon Road and drive 0.1 mile south to Agoura Road. Turn right and drive 0.3 mile. Trail head will be on the left. Park on either side of the road. \nAddress on map is approximate.

The design implemented was an installation of several buildings\, fuel tanks\, and multiple massive cisterns. The entire complex\, according the plans of Herr Schmidt\, was to be self-sustaining even if it suffered years of isolation from the outside society \nThe FBI raided the ranch in 1941 and that was the end of that until the 50’s when an artist’s colony was established. \nMy research indicates that this is an urban legend. There may be no Herr Schmidt\, it was not a Nazi compound\, and there was no raid. It is true that Winona and Norman Stephens built a self-sustaining ranch here. Presumably they were convinced by a Herr Schmidt\, who may have been a Nazi sympathizer\, to build it due to a belief that German National Socialism would reach US soil. But there is absolutely no evidence that it was a Nazi hideout\, compound or anything like that. \nHere is the 1975 book\, now a collector’s item\, that popularized the whole story: \n\n\nHike will be about 4-5 miles with moderate elevation gain. Here are some pics from the last two versions: \n[av_gallery ids=’19996\,19997\,19998\,20000\,20001\,20002\,20003\,20004\,20007\,20009\,20012\,20014\,20015\,20016\,20017\,20019\,20020\,20021\,20023\,20025\,20026\,20029\,20030\,20035\,20036′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’square’ columns=’6′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’avia_lazyload’ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nDirections to Trailhead\nFrom Sunset Boulevard\, 3 miles west of the 405\, turn north at the light onto Capri Drive.

Live Oak and Willow trees fill the canyon providing a shady hike. Sandstone geology of the wildest kind is found. There are many shallow stream crossings along the way. \nHowever\, we will be saving shady Devils Canyon for the second half of the hike. Shortly after entering the canyon we will turn west and up\, out of the canyon and over to Johnson’s Motorway. Along the way we will stop at an old burned down ranch that once belonged to Mimi Couch of Simi Valley. We continue on to Rocky Peak Motorway where we turn north to the top of Devils Canyon\, hike down the shady canyon and complete the loop. \nI can find only these (hot) July 2013 pics of the same hike.

I put this one together back in 2009 after exploring some Westlake Village use trails. With combination of use trails\, some minor rock scrambling and views of two local lakes\, the result is probably the best hike in Westlake Village. \nDetails\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 (see if you can spot them in the photos below). 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. The hike is more strenuous than it sounds. \nEnjoy these pics from previous adventures.

In 1987\, the report recommended that all Americans be able to go out their front doors and within fifteen minutes\, be on trails that wind through their cities or towns and bring them back without retracing steps. The recommendation\, dubbed Trails for All Americans\, became the impetus behind several public and private parties joining American Hiking Society in launching National Trails Day® in 1993. National Trails Day is always the first Saturday in June. \nIn light of the history of NTD\, this year we’ll celebrate at the old Reagan Ranch \n \nDetails\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. \nWe’ll also be visiting the exterior set for the long-running television show M*A*S*H. The medic tents have been removed\, but the location is still recognizable\, providing a rich experience for hikers. (See note below) \n \nBetween the MASH set and the ranch we’ll enjoy a short snack break at Century Lake. Part of the famous jump into the river by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Paul Newman & Robert Redford) was done by stuntmen at Century Lake because the river in Colorado seen in the film wasn’t deep enough to support such a high jump. \n \nOn our return to the ranch we’ll take a side trip to a scenic vista point at the top of Lake View Trail will It will provide us a beautiful view of Malibou Lake and the surrounding mountains.

Leo Carrillo served on the California Beach and Parks commission for eighteen years\, and was instrumental in the state’s acquisition of the Hearst property at San Simeon and other large tracts of coastal parkland. \nHe was related by blood and marriage to a long line of distinguished original Californians.  Leo’s father\, Don Juan Carrillo\, was the first mayor of Santa Monica in 1890. His great-grandfather was one of the last Mexican governors of California; his great-uncle José Antonio Carrillo was the Mexican land grant grantee of Rancho Las Posas in 1834\, in present day Ventura County\, and the Island of Santa Rosa of the Channel Islands. \nLeo’s greatest fame came from his portrayal of Pancho\, the sidekick to Duncan Renaldo’s Cisco Kid\, an early 1950’s TV series. Click here for a list of Leo Carrillo movies. He toured the world as the state’s official Ambassador of Good Will. Governor Edmund G. Brown called Leo “Mr. California.” \nHis book on the history of California is a classic \n\n\n \n \n \n \n The California I Love - Hardcover ( pages)\n By Carrillo\, Leo (Author)\n \n \n Price: -- As of: 2025/08/28 3:00 pm - Details×Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

On this 6-7 mile hike I will take you through Franklin Canyon and then a bit off-trail to the “planar” center of Los Angeles. It will make a great photo opp. There will be about 1200 ft of  total ascent. \nFranklin Canyon Park is one of the very few places in LA with a greenbelt filled with pines\, sycamore\, eucalyptus and cedars\, most notably the Atlas Cedar and mature Coast Redwoods that are a rare site in most big cities. \nHighlights along the way to the center of the city: \nFranklin Canyon Lake: the location where we see Opie skipping a rock in the water during the opening credits of The Andy Griffith Show and Capt. Kirk falling in love with an Indian maiden on Star Trek. \n \n  \n\nThe Doheny House: The family of oil baron Edward L. Doheny used the canyon as a summer retreat and a place to graze and water their cattle. The Doheny family built a Spanish style home here in 1935. \n \nHeavenly Pond: is a small duck pond located to the west of the Franklin Canyon Lake \n \nBring snacks and a quart of water. \nHere are some scenes from some popular TV shows and movies filmed at Franklin Canyon. Do you recognize any?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nFor you music lovers\, here are a couple of albums covers photographed in Franklin Canyon:\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \nDirections – Parking is Free\nSee also http://www.meetup.com/localhikers/messages/boards/thread/48433782 \nFrom West Los Angeles: \nHead north on Beverly Drive following signs to Coldwater Canyon. Turn left on Coldwater/Beverly Drive\, and turn left again on Beverly Drive\, at Fire Station No. 2. The third right is Franklin Canyon Drive. Continue through the residential area to park entrance. At the intersection of Franklin Canyon Drive and Lake Drive turn right onto Lake and head toward the end of Lake Dr to parking lot next to large grass lawn. \n(If you are coming down Sunset from east of Beverly Dr its probably easier to take Rexford to Beverly) \nFrom the San Fernando Valley: \nTake the 101 to Coldwater Canyon Boulevard. Head south to the intersection of Coldwater Canyon and Mulholland Drive. Make a 90 degree right turn onto Franklin Canyon Drive just before Coldwater merges into Mulholland Dr.  Road signs read “Road Closed 800 Feet” “Sunset to Sunrise”; this is the park entrance. Do NOT make a U-turn as this will bring you onto Mulholland Drive instead of Franklin Canyon. Stay on paved surface\, drive past the Outdoor Classroom/Nature Center\, and continue south of the lake for 1.5 miles\, bearing left onto Lake Dr at stop sign\, and head toward the end of Lake Dr to large parking lot next to large grass lawn \n[av_notification title=’Attention!’ icon_select=’yes’ icon=’ue83e’ font=’entypo-fontello’ color=’green’ border=” custom_bg=’#444444′ custom_font=’#ffffff’ size=’large’ close_btn=” cookie_lifetime=’60’ av_uid=’av-mjtnzh’ custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”]\nYou will drive 0.6 mi past the sign for “Franklin Canyon Ranch” then 0.3 mile past the point marked 2300 Lake Dr  to the large parking lot on the left\n[/av_notification] \n \nHere is an aerial view of parking lot and trail head.

Answer will be revealed during hike! \nI will combine a 6-mile hike with the stairs taking in Rustic and Sullivan Canyons by way of little known trails creating a loop with about 1\,100 ft total ascent. Along the way we’ll visit Murphy Ranch\, a 1930s hideout where\, according to urban myth\, Third Reich sympathizers could sequester themselves until German rule had been established in the USA \n\n\n  \nDirections to Trailhead\nFrom Sunset Blvd\, 3 miles west of the 405\, turn north at the light onto Capri Drive.
