SUMMARY:Gaviota Peak\, Hot Spring Loop and Beyond (with Camping Option)
DESCRIPTION:**Gaviota Peak**\, at 2\,458 feet\, offers eye-popping views up and down the coast. You can look east clear across **Santa Barbara**\, and west across Lompoc toward Point Conception. In between is vast sea adorned by Channel Islands that hover on the horizon. To the north\, gentle rolling hills frame the fertile Santa Ynez Valley. \nWe’ll begin on the wide **Gaviota Peak Trail**. On the way up to the mountains we’ll stop and visit the milky blue waters and sulfur bubbles of **Gaviota Hot Springs** (aka Las Cruces Hot Springs). It’s a natural spring that was built up with concrete many years ago. \n*I will be extending the classic 7-mile Gaviota Peak loop hike to about 11 miles* \nA little before we get to the peak we will turn onto the **Campbell Trail** and extend the hike another 4 miles. It is currently abandoned by the US Forest Service because they do not want hikers to discover any **Chumash archeological sites**. We’ll be hiking along **Las Canovas Creek** for a bit and the trail may be overgrown with scrub and poison oak in some places. But I’ve heard it is a very nice trail 😉 \nWe’ll take our lunch/snack break at **Corrie Meadows.** I expect the meadow will be filled with wildflowers and a tiny little creek. \nWe’ll return to the classic loop along **West Camino Cielo Rd\,** bag Gaviota Peak and head back toward the Pacific via the **Trespass Trail\,** a narrow singe-track with stunning ocean views. Then its back to the trail head along **Tunnel View Trail** offering a view of the **Gaviota Tunnel.** \nHike is rated DIFFICULT due to length and terrain. See the [Hike Rating Guide](https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/) \n**POST HIKE GATHERING AND OPTIONAL CAMPING**\nI’ve reserved **campsite #3 at** [Gaviota State Park Campground](https://goo.gl/maps/JJioDUMfBNiuYntz5) and after the hike everyone is invited back to my campsite for potluck lunch\, drinks\, etc. There is a day-use lot but at the time of this writing I do not know the parking fee. \nMy reservation is from 04/26/22 2:00 PM – 04/28/22 12:00 PM – let me know if you will also be reserving a spot and I will organize more events – there are many more trails nearby \n**DIRECTIONS TO TRAIL HEAD**\nUse [Google Maps](https://goo.gl/maps/1gRBx5NYwsoJguJM7) and follow directions to map pin. According to my latest info there is $2 parking fee that requires exact change. Look for the envelope thingy. We’ll meet at the Gaviota Peak Trail trail head by the map pin

SUMMARY:🌕🥂 Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon Hike - Serrania Ridge and Potluck 🍻
DESCRIPTION:**NO WHITE LIGHTS** – ***Bring a green or red headlamp/light if you have one. If you don’t you can piggy back off mine and the others.’ If you have problems hiking in the dark without a white light\, do not attend.*** \nOur hike begins at Serrania Ridge\, a pocket of parkland on the suburban edge of Woodland Hills. The ridge’s name—and its geography—seem to be in limbo. Serrania Ridge is also called Woodland Ridge. Is it a part of the Santa Monica Mountains? Or is it a part of Chalk Hill to the northeast? \nWe can contemplate these questions as we roller-coaster up and down–mostly up–partaking views of the Santa Monica mountains rising before us\, Calabasas hills to the right of us\, Chalk Hill to the left of us and the west San Fernando Valley behind us. After about 1 mile we cross dirt Mulholland and continue on a steep trail to the top of the ridge where we’ll turn onto a service road and head up to the water tank. 🍷🥨 \n😋**Bring snack and drinks to share – and your own cups\, plates\, etc** \n**➡️[NO WHITE LIGHTS](https://amzn.to/387ghR2)**[ – ](https://amzn.to/387ghR2)***[Bring a green or red headlamp/light if you have one. If you don’t you can piggy back off mine and the others’](https://amzn.to/387ghR2) It will be a clear night – no lights may be needed*** \nHike is a 3.7-mile lollipop with about 930 ft total ascent and rated MEDIUM. [See hike ratings guide](https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/) \nFacilities are available at the trail head (but may be locked?). \n*Sunset: 7:49 PM*\n*Moonrise: 7:42 PM* \n**Directions**\nFrom the 101 Freeway\, take the De Soto exit and head south for 0.7 miles. On the way\, De Soto becomes Serrania Avenue. Bear left onto Wells Drive and the park will be almost immediately on your right. \n**NOTE**: Its uncertain if parking ever gets locked after hours – park in street to be safe 😉

SUMMARY:40th Anniversary E.T. Hike - 🐶s OK
DESCRIPTION:Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nDetails\nWe’ve been following the footsteps of ET since 2008 with the original HWD ET hike and its become one of our most popular hikes. This year we’ll be doing it on the 40th anniversary of the movie premier!  Dogs are ok on this one. \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 “The Palisades” are some of the highlights \nWe’ll be hiking on a section of the The Palisades featured in the movie\, and will take our snack break at “E.T. Park” (Aliso Canyon Park) where they filmed some scenes from ET. \nThe video below shows the location of our hike.\nThe maker did an excellent job in juxtaposing scenes from ET with present day shots. Pay particularly close attention to the opening shots\, the dirt path a bicycle is riding on\, and the van driving into a park. We will be hiking over and through these locations. \n\n\n \n\n\n  \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 8.3 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,300 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \n[asa2 tpl=”Movie” asa2 image_size=”medium” ajax=”1″]B0087F7VSY[/asa2] \nDirections:\nHead for the North Valley YMCA on Corbin Ave. The trail head is on the right (if you are traveling north) just before the YMCA sign. Park on street. \n \n

SUMMARY:National Trails Day - Hike at the Malibu Reagan Ranch
DESCRIPTION:National Trails Day is a celebration of trails that evolved from the report of President Ronald Reagan’s President’s Commission on Americans Outdoors. 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 Creek — 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. \n \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.

SUMMARY:Cheeseboro Canyon Loop
DESCRIPTION:The gently rounded hills of Cheeseboro Canyon in the Simi Hills is older than the steeper\, more recently formed Santa Monica Mountains\, \nFor over 150 years\, ranchers made this canyon their home. Many of the native plants\, poorly adapted to heavy grazing\, were replaced with European annuals such as wild oats\, mustard\, and thistles. Despite numerous years of cattle grazing\, we can still find a variety of native plant communities\, including chaparral\, coastal sage scrub\, and riparian woodlands. \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. \nOur 9-mile journey starts on the Modelo Trail\, ascending the western ridge separating Cheeseboro and Palo Comado Canyons. After a few minutes we descend into Cheeseboro Canyon. \nThen we begin a climb through a tributary of Cheeseboro Canyon\, soon reaching the Cheeseboro Ridge Trail (about 2 miles from the start). This will be a nice place for a water break and enjoy the scenery before beginning the biggest ascent of the hike. \nThe Cheeseboro Ridge Trail winds its way up the canyon wall. As we climb\, we’ll get views of the rolling terrain of the Simi Hills\, the Santa Monica Mountains\, and to the east\, if the weather is clear\, the San Gabriels. \nAfter a couple more miles we will see the Baleen Wall\, a geological formation that is one of the park’s most recognizable landmarks. Its rock outcroppings resemble the sight of a baleen whale rising from the ocean. We will take our snack break opposite the Baleen Wall overlooking the headwaters of Upper Las Virgenes Canyon creek \nAfter the break we’ll stroll to Shepherds Flat and Sulphur Springs. We may catch a whiff of rotten eggs\, indicating the presence of sulphur\, and therefore some extremely minor volcanic activity\, close to the surface. \nWe then continue down the Cheeseboro Canyon Trail making a big loop. \nHike is about 9 miles with 1\,300 feet total ascent and is rated DIFFICULT. See the Hike Rating Guide: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/

SUMMARY:Wet & Wild(wood) Potluck Picnic
DESCRIPTION:This hike is the perfect hike for the first day of summer. It will require several stream crossings along the Arroyo Conejo and Wildwood Canyon Creek so wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet\, and shorts (or long pants you don’t mind getting wet). \nWe’ll visit the Wetlands and have a picnic lunch at shady Skunk Hollow\, a tree-lined area adjacent to a flowing creek with a picnic table. A nice little area. It will be almost all downhill to Skunk Hollow — \n🍴Bring some food and drink to share🥂 and your own utensiles\, etc \nWe’ll return to the cars via my secret trail and more stream crossings. Hike will be about 7 miles with 950 ft total ascent (it can be shortened to 5.5 miles and 600′ ascent with two less stream crossings if weather demands it)

SUMMARY:Journey to the Center of the City - Franklin Canyon
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This HDW original is a classic. On this 6 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. The first hill will be a workout\, but there is lots of shade on this one. Franklin 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. \n[asa2_collection tpl=”Flat_box_horizontal” orderby=”rand” limit=”1″]2[/asa2_collection] \nHighlights along the way to the center of the city: \nFranklin Canyon Lake:\nThe 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[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/dIf5xKdKGe0″ align=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nThe Doheny House:\nThe 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:\nA small duck pond located to the west of the Franklin Canyon Lake. See the turtles? \n \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message]\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[vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”52893\,52892\,52891\,52890″ img_size=””][/vc_column][/vc_row] \nFor you music lovers\, here are a couple of albums covers photographed in Franklin Canyon:\n[vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”52897″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”52896″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column] \n  \nDirections – Parking is Free\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 and continue through the neighborhood (gps may send you to closed service road – just stay on Beverly). \nContinue through the residential area on Beverly Dr to Franklin Canyon Dr and bear right. Enter park and at the intersection of Franklin Canyon Drive and Lake Drive make a sharp right onto Lake Dr and head to the end of Lake Dr and parking lot next to large grass lawn. \nEnter park and at the intersection of Franklin Canyon Drive and Lake Drive make a sharp right onto Lake Dr 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: \nThere are two ways to get to the Meetup location. For simplicity I am limiting this description to the simplest. Its a tiny bit longer than the direct route\, but there is always a few people that park in the wrong place using that one. Plus it seems GPSes favor the longer route\, but then get it wrong later. \nHead south on Coldwater Canyon Blvd over the hill toward Beverly Hills. Make a sharp right on N Beverly Dr (at the little park) and follow Beverly Dr through the neighborhood (gps may send you to closed service road – just stay on Beverly). \nContinue through the residential area on Beverly Dr to Franklin Canyon Dr and bear right. Enter park and at the intersection of Franklin Canyon Drive and Lake Drive make a sharp right onto Lake Dr and head to the end of Lake Dr and parking lot next to large grass lawn. \nAerial and Street Views of Parking Lot \n

SUMMARY:🌄Sundowner Hike: Santa Maria Canyon - Summer Hill Ranch Loop
DESCRIPTION:This short hike offers a nice variety of canyon and ocean scenery\, and is not as well traveled as some of the other trails in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains. \n[asa2_smart_collection tpl=”Flat_box_horizontal” orderby=”rand” show_features=”no” show_description=”no” limit=”1″ /] \nWe’ll enjoy a great “lollipop” outing in the northeastern corner of Topanga State Park starting at the Viewridge Trailhead for Santa Maria Canyon. We’ll connect up with The Summer Hill Ranch Trail — a short and easy loop that curves around a low-rising hill dotted with coastal live oak trees. \n🧺We’ll break at a picnic bench overlooking the canyon. Bring snacks and drink to share. \nHere is a slide show from a previous hike \n \nHighlights during this stroll through a wooded canyon include ocean views and a sturdy bridge that will take us across Santa Maria Canyon. \n \nAfter crossing the bridge we’ll take Summer Hill Ranch trail to the Canyon Overlook. Here\, either at a picnic table or atop a sandstone outcrop\, you can enjoy excellent views of Topanga Canyon’s trademark geology and of Santa Maria Creek. For the rock scramblers there are caves and crevices to explore (while us chickens watch from the picnic bench). \n \n  \n🧺We’ll break at a picnic bench overlooking the canyon. Bring snacks and drink to share. \n  \n \n  \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS 3 MILES WITH ABOUT 550 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED EASY. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDirections\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:eBike Trail Ride: ULV - Cheeseboro - Palo Comado Big Loop
DESCRIPTION:Its been several years since I posted a bike ride. All bikes are welcome. On this one we’ll travel the gently rounded hills and canyons of Cheeseboro and Palo Comado Canyons\, starting from Upper Las Virgenes Canyon. \nThis outing will be an opportunity to discuss ebike tips and tricks. I am on my third ebike \nWe’ll ride at a pace suitable for semi-beginners on mostly hard-packed and wide trails. Planned ride is a 13.5 mile loop with 2\,300 ft total ascent. \nBring a tool kit\, helmet\, water and snacks. \nHistorical note: At the time I was posting bike rides\, regular bike riders called ebike riders “cheaters.” As I look around today\, these same people now have their own ebikes. There sure are a lot of them these days. Hence I am rebooting my group bike rides. \nDirections\nDrive to the north end of Las Virgenes Canyon Rd. Park on street taking note of parking restrictions. We meet at the end of the road.

SUMMARY:🥂🎂 Birthday & ✈️ Bon Voyage Hike - Lunch at Malibu Seafood
DESCRIPTION:My birthday is coming up\, and I can’t wait to celebrate with my hiking buddies at one of our favorite hiking and post-hike lunching spots – Malibu Seafood Cafe. Soon after I will be leaving for Italy — not sure when I will be back 😂 \n🦞 One of the great things about Malibu Seafood — besides the food and beach views\, and being next to trailhead — is they allow you to bring your own beverages (including alcohol). \n🍹 Bring some to share! Leave your beverages in the car until you return from hike. \nThere will be two hiking options in Corral Canyon with lunch at Malibu Seafood. 🌊All three have spectacular ocean views \n1️⃣ The classic Corral Canyon loop rated EASY+ at 2.5 miles and 530′ total ascent. This will bring you back to trailhead around 10:30 am \n2️⃣ Extend 1️⃣ into Puerco Canyon. This hike is rated MEDIUM at 4.5 miles and 1150′ total ascent. This will bring us back to trailhead around 11:30 am. \nWe all start doing hike 1️⃣. After about 2/3 of the way into that loop\, hike option 2️⃣ begins. I will lead the option 2️⃣ group. \nThose that want to continue on the easy hike option 1️⃣ will continue on the easy-to-follow trail for the remaining third of hike. We’ll probably have someone on that option that knows the trail\, but you can’t get lost \nAs usual\, follow my flour arrows if for some reason you get far behind. \nDirections\nFree street parking along PCH is available\, or $12 in trail head lot. Credit or cash. We’ll meet at trailhead (its near the toilets). The hike\, not the parking\, starts at 9am \nMalibu Seafood Cafe is next doo to trailhead parking lot.

I will combine a 6-mile hike with the stairs taking in Rustic and Sullivan Canyons by way of little known trails. Along the way we’ll visit Murphy Ranch\, a 1930s hideout where\, according to urban legend\, Third Reich sympathizers could sequester themselves until German rule had been established in the USA. My research indicates the legend it FALSE \nAlong the way we will answer the riddle: \nWhat does the inventor of the photobooth\, The Beach Boys\, a bunch of WWII-era NAZIs and Charlie Manson have in common? \nDIRECTIONS \nFrom Sunset Boulevard\, 3 miles west of the 405\, turn north at the light onto Capri Drive (there is a shorter way by turning onto San Remo Dr to Monaco Dr\, but its easy to miss). After 1/3 mile continue through the traffic circle\, remaining on Capri Drive for another 1/3 mile until it comes to an end at Casale Road. Sullivan Ridge Fire road begins to the left but do not turn left on Casale Rd. Find street parking to the right or on adjacent roads.
