BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nWe’ll enjoy a great upside down “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. \nHighlights during this stroll through a wooded canyon include ocean views and a sturdy bridge that will take us across Santa Maria Canyon. After 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\, we’ll enjoy a potluck party with excellent views of Topanga Canyon’s trademark geology and of Santa Maria Canyon. There are caves and crevices to explore too! \nSo bring some snacks and drink to share under the full moon.\nHere is a slide show from a daytime version of this hike: \n \n  \nNO WHITE LIGHTS – Red and Green lights only. If you don’t have one you can piggy-back off of someone else’s.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nOur route begins on Trailer Canyon fire road providing broad views over Santa Ynez Canyon and the surrounding mountains. But like nature and vacuums\, we abhor fire roads. Thus\, shortly after the hike begins we will leave the fire road and take a small\, slightly overgrown use trail that passes a clay gully and crosses a lush ridge up to the Temescal Ridge trail. We’ll return along the fire road making a loop in the canyon. \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. \nWe’ll soon meet up with Temescal Ridge trail and head over to Temescal Lookout \nWe’ll find some comfy spots among the ruins of an old ranger station/fire lookout and have our snack break. Our destination awaits us! \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 5.5 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,200 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

Turn left onto Vereda de la Montura\, (the same turnoff for the trailhead for hikes in Santa Ynez Canyon and Santa Ynez Falls) and make an immediate right on Michael Lane. Drive half a mile to the trailhead\, which will be on the left (look for what looks like a private driveway).

For those of you who are familiar with my Goat Peak hike\, this will be a slightly shorter version\, but with the same elevation gain. Two segments\, one 1.5 miles and another 0.5 miles\, will be overgrown and may require some bushwhacking in places. I would like to clear theses segments of low-hanging branches (for the tall people) and other obstacles so bring some small hand garden tools for snipping and/or sawing branches ant twigs.  Its not certain we will need any tools\, just want to be prepared \nWe’ll have a nice long snack break at the Will Rogers State Historic Park Visitor Center \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 2\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

Its easy to get to\, however\, some of the streets are so new\, they are not on some maps (or GPS) yet\, so pay attention to these directions! \n21600 Poema Pl is an address 1/4 mile east the parking area. The Meetup map works on Android (Google maps) and takes you to parking area via Canoga Ave. \nIf you are using iPhone or car GPS\, you may need the following directions\, or type in the coordinates 34.279440\,-118.600440 \n🚗From Canoga Ave – go north on Canoga Ave past the 118. Bear right and enter the Deerlake Ranch development; head uphill and make a left on Poema Pl. Go past the 21600 address\, cross the bridge (that will be the 2nd bridge you cross)\, then turn right into the construction site for Crestley/Landsea Homes.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nAnother HWD Exclusive \nOn February 21\, 2020 the MRCA announced that they acquired and opened a new 257-acre park in Browns Canyon in one of the most vibrant wildlife habitats in the southern Santa Susana Mountains. The stunning Hidden Creeks parkland—which had\, as recently as last year\, been proposed to be developed into a gated community of 188 luxury houses—is located at the confluence of Browns Creek and Mormon Creek. The property provides a key migration corridor and perennial water source to a full complement of large mammals including black bear\, mountain lion\, mule deer\, bobcat\, American badger\, grey fox\, long-tailed weasel\, ring-tailed cat\, and the endangered California Condor. \nNature won’t be the only thing we’ll experience. We may get a chance to meet Ferdinand\, a bull that roams the area. There are lots of old artifacts to explore along the way\, including old ranch houses\, abandoned ranch vehicles\, a dam and much more! So expect a lot of stops along the way. Hike will last longer than normal. \nShortly after the announcement all LA trails closed. None of the trails here have been established or published as of yet and the best access requires crossing private property. But during the trail closures Katja\, Cristina and I explored the nooks and crannies of this new open space over many weekends. We also answered the philosophical question: “If a trail has never been opened\, can it be closed?” \nI’ll post some photos from the exploratories later…check back often \nI do have carte blanch permission from the property owner for access and I can’t wait to show the group this new gem of open space and its myriad of trails. RSVP below to be part of the first Meetup group to hike these trails \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS 6-8 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDirections:\nHead toward the address given. You are going to park in a turnout on Brown’s Canyon Rd. The picture below shows an old for-sale sign post. You  can park in turnout immediately before or immediately after that. We’ll meet in the driveway by that sign. See 2nd pic below. This is the entrance to the old Misty Hollow ranch\, now owned by MRCA and part of their park system.

Our trip to the rock will traverse a seldom used trail across a large meadow\, through tall chaparral and a shady oak forest\, and up along Cheney Ridge. \nHere is a video highlighting our route\n \n  \n🥂Bring a sack lunch\, booze to share\,  and we’ll have a picnic on The Rock \n  \n \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ALMOST 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,250 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

SUMMARY:🎄 Xmas Day Hike - Bell Canyon Loop (Gentiles welcome)
DESCRIPTION:My Bell Canyon Loop starts and ends at the mouth of Bell Canyon. Its a little-known loop and I haven’t seen any other meetup group do it — so you are in luck today! \n👉 Hike is about 4 miles with 900′ total ascent. Most of that is during a one-mile stretch\, thus I am rating this hike as DIFFICULT due to terrain. See my hike rating guide here: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/ \n😷 PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHENEVER POSSIBLE\, ESPECIALLY AT TRAIL HEAD AND BREAK SPOTS. WEAR A MASK OR FACE COVERING WHENEVER SOCIAL DISTANCING IS IMPOSSIBLE OR IMPRACTICAL. IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU BRING A FACE COVERING. BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT. \nDIRECTIONS:\nHead toward the address given above but instead of turning on Woodglade Ln\, just park on Highlander Rd. We meet near the corner of Highlander Rd and Woodlade Ln. by the ball field \n✔The 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.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nGet ready for a hike in Malibu Creek State Park the other groups never 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. We’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. \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 7 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,300 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDirections:\nWe’ll meet on the corner of Crags Dr and Lookout Dr. Park on neighboring streets such as Lookout Dr\, Seminole Dr or Olivera Dr. See map below. [Note: I haven’t been here since before the Woolsey fire and there might be some changes to parking since some of the homes were burnt] \n[vc_message icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-car-side”]NOTE: The Google Map link isn’t working correctly. But if you key in the address manually Google Map will take you to the correct location. In any case here are the written directions from the 101 and Kanan. If you know how to get to the Malibu Reagan Ranch or Paramount Ranch you are almost there. \nFrom the 101 head south on Kanan Rd for about 1/3 mile and turn left on Cornell Way. Continue on Cornell Way for about 2.3 miles. After crossing Mulholland the name changes to Lake Vista Way; continue for 1.1 miles to Crags Dr. Turn left for 0.6 miles and find a place to park according the description above[/vc_message]\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”rsvp”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nRSVP Here\n[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_js]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[/vc_raw_js][/vc_column][/vc_row]

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.

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-trail to get to the falls\, the way is relatively clear of obstacles and mostly level \nHere is a shot of Upper Zuma Falls from the Backbone Trail \n \nIts form becomes more obvious with a zoom lens \n \nAt the base of the falls. You don’t want to miss this one! \n \n  \nAfter visiting the falls\, we’ll return to the trail and continue to Zuma-Trancas Ridge\, turn north\,  and search for my secret trail I found in 2011 to to the top of the falls \nBring the usual stuff\, but most importantly\, bring a sense of adventure! \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 7 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,350 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDon’t forget to join our FB group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nOur 6th Annual Super Bowl Pre-Game Hike is perfect: Short enough to get you home on time and prepare for parties and kickoff\, yet big on beauty and adventure. \nThe destination is a familiar one but on this trek we stay off the fire and service roads that everyone else uses. Calabasas 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 Secret Trail (aka the Calabasas-Cold Creek Trail) and wind our way through shaded ravines\, dense chaparral and sandstone outcrops until we reach Calabasas Peak Motorway. \n \nHere 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. We’ll not only bag the peak\, but we’ll also circumnavigate it along an old overgrown trail. \n \nClick here for photos from last year\n(Optional: 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) \nWe’ll have our snack break at a hidden cistern. Don’t drink the water hee hee \n \nBring at least 2 qts water\, snacks\, sunscreen. \nDirections:\nThe trail head is located on Mulholland Hwy less than a fifth of a mile west of Dry Canyon Cold Creek Road.  Park off-pavement and perpendicular to the 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 \nThere is overflow parking 500′ south (“west”) across the street next to the house.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”rsvp”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nRSVP Here\n[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_js]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[/vc_raw_js][/vc_column][/vc_row]

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nAnother HWD Classic! \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.” \n \nThe site was owned by President Reagan between 1957 and 1967\, before he was elected Governor of California. Prior to the Woolsey fire\, the Reagan Ranch property still had the original barn and stables\, which were used as the park maintenance facility. \nTrails loop through rolling meadowlands and grand old oaks 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. \n\n\n\n\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 (with plenty of Hollywood magic helping out) because the river in Colorado seen in the film wasn’t deep enough to support such a high jump. \n\n\n\n\n\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. Reagan was the honorary mayor of Malibou Lake in 1953. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis hike is sponsored by Amazon – https://amzn.to/2GnCP0a \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS APPX 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,050 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nThis will be my modification of the classic Grotto hike at the Circle X Ranch in Malibu.  A short history of the ranch provides the context for our hike \nWhen the Boy Scouts used to trek to The Grotto\, it was part of their Circle X Scout Ranch\, given to them in 1949 by the Los Angeles Exchange Club. The emblem for the Exchange Club was a circled X–hence the name of the ranch. Back in the 1980s\, the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy purchased the ranch from the Boy Scouts of America and opened it to the public. Today\, the National Park Service administers the ranch-turned-park\, now called simply Circle X Ranch. \nTo the west of the Grotto lied Happy Hallow\, the scout camp. This 1994 satellite photo illustrates our route. The red track is the classic hike on the Grotto Trail. We’ll be taking a diversion before getting to The Grotto for a loop around Happy Hallow. We did this in 2014 and we will explore some sections we weren’t able to then. \n \n  \nI’ll be adding more text and photos over time so check back often \n  \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 8 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,500 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nThis is a loop hike. From the Sycamore Campground parking lot we’ll hike up Big Sycamore Canyon for about a mile and then head east on the Serrano Canyon trail into a densely wooded narrow canyon\, with a lovely seasonal stream crisscrossing the trail numerous times\, and abundant wildlife. As we begin to gain elevation and the trail starts turning north a stunning vista of rolling grasslands set against the steep outlines of Boney Ridge begins to emerge. This is Serrano Valley \nWe’ll explore the Serrano Family Home Site. This was a large ranch back in the day. The area is strewn with old farm equipment\, water pumps\, home items\, and other artifacts. Trails may be a little overgrown in this area \nWe were there in 8/2013 just after the Springs fire. We saw a veritable bonanza of artifacts including home appliances\, tools\, etc. Check out the pictures here. Before the fire\, and probably now\, the only artifacts visible we’ll see are those that rise above the tall grass\, or ones we trip over. Check out the pics from that day: \nWe’ll crisscross many of the old ranch roads and trails there. We’ll return to Sycamore Canyon via the Old Boney Trail. Its a little boring hiking back to PCH down Sycamore so perhaps we’ll take some side trails along the way — depending how tired we are \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS APPX 9 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,500 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDirections:\nTake PCH to Sycamore Canyon Rd. Turn in and go to Kiosk. Pay\, park or hang out.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nAs some of you know I have purchased an RV and will be integrating it into some of our hikes. As a practice run\, I’ve rented a RV space at Tapo Canyon Campground and will be leading a VIP hike in that area. When we return we’ll have a potluck get-together by my RV at the campground (its a short drive/long walk from trail head). Highlights along the way include tar pits and artifacts from an old ranch \nThis will be an exploratory hike I’ve wanted to do for years: a shortcut to the Coquina Mine\, aka the Steam Shovel in Chivo and Las Llajas Canyons. \nHere is the big picture of what we will try to accomplish.\nFor those of you who have done my infamous Las Llajas – Chivo loop this is a familiar area.  The yellow tracks are familiar trails we already use. The magenta line is where we will be doing some trail blazing. Aerial photos suggest there is a relatively clear path most of the way. (best viewed on a computer monitor) \n \nZooming in\, it appears there has been some traffic along my proposed route\, along with an alternate route. \n \nIf all goes according plan we will have blazed a trail that will take you to the Steam Shovel from Chivo Canyon (the usual way is via Las Llajas). Hopefully my fear of heights won’t get in the way \nWhen we are done we’ll meet back at my rv for a post-hike picnic/party \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 8 MILES WITH ABOUT 2000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

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. Its a short walk back to the trailhead. Meet there at 9am \n \nTo get to Tapo Cyn Campground and the picnic\, continue on Cottonwood to Tapo Cyn Rd and turn Right for 2 miles.

SUMMARY:Hill Canyon to Elliott Mountain and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Join our Facebook Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nDetails\n\nThe official trail up Elliot Mountain (technically a peak at 1\,063 ft) was built May 2015. Below is a photo showing how we used to climb it. The mountain\, a bench and the trail are named after Burt Elliot who was very active with Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency. Burt died of cancer in the Spring of 2014. He was the go-to guy for all things Conejo Open Space. \n \nWe began exploring this area in 2008 when we were the original “The Weekday Hikers.”. At that time there was a system of old use trails known mainly only to a few local equestrians. It soon became a favorite and regular hiking location for us. From 2008 to 2011 Hill Canyon was the location of our unofficial club house. \n[asa2 tpl=”Flat_box_horizontal” ajax=”1″]B01MRQCENJ[/asa2] \nA few years later\, open space agencies and other trail-builders literally followed in our footsteps and began converting our use trails to official “new” trails\, erected trail signs and built bridges. \nHere is a video of our hike from 2015\n \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 9 MILES WITH ABOUT 1500 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN.

SUMMARY:Bell Canyon Loop
DESCRIPTION:My Bell Canyon Loop starts and ends at the mouth of Bell Canyon. Its a little-known loop and I haven’t seen any other meetup group do it — so you are in luck today! \n👉 Hike is about 4 miles with 900′ total ascent. Most of that is during a one-mile stretch\, thus I am rating this hike as DIFFICULT due to terrain. See my hike rating guide here: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/ \nDIRECTIONS:Head toward the address given above but instead of turning on Woodglade Ln\, just park on Highlander Rd. We meet near the corner of Highlander Rd and Woodlade Ln. by the ball field \n✔The Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.

SUMMARY:Trailer Canyon to Temescal Lookout
DESCRIPTION:Our route begins on Trailer Canyon fire road providing broad views over Santa Ynez Canyon and the surrounding mountains. But like nature and vacuums\, we abhor fire roads. Thus\, shortly after the hike begins we will leave the fire road and take a small\, slightly overgrown use trail that passes a clay gully and crosses a lush ridge up to the Temescal Ridge trail. We’ll return along the fire road making a loop in the canyon. \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. \nWe’ll soon meet up with Temescal Ridge trail and head over to Temescal Lookout \nWe’ll find some comfy spots among the ruins of an old ranger station/fire lookout and have our snack break. Our destination awaits us! \nDIRECTIONS \nFrom Sunset Boulevard\, half a mile east of PCH\, head north on Palisades Drive. After 2.4 miles. Turn left onto Vereda de la Montura\, (the same turnoff for the trailhead for hikes in Santa Ynez Canyon and Santa Ynez Falls) and make an immediate right on Michael Lane. Drive half a mile to the trailhead\, which will be on the left (look for what looks like a private driveway). There is street parking available on Michael Lane.

SUMMARY:Satwiwa - Upper Sycamore Canyon - Old Boney - Fossil Trail Loop
DESCRIPTION:This site was home to the Chumash\, Spanish Rancho El Conejo\, and modern ranching and farming operations. For many years\, the Santa Monica Mountains sustained the Chumash and Tongva/Gabrielino cultures. Sycamore Canyon\, which cuts through Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and Point Mugu State Park\, was part of a Chumash trade route. Satwiwa\, which means “the bluffs\,” was the name of a nearby Chumash village. \n \nWe’ll hike through serene hills\, with views of Boney Mountain. Along the way there is a seasonal water fall and some hand-sized fossils. We’ll take a snack break at the Danielson Monument. \nThe hike is about 8.5 miles with 2\,000 feet total ascent and is rated DIFFICULT due to terrain. See my hike rating guide: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/ \nDirections to Trailhead \nPark on Potrero Rd. at the end of Wendy Dr. in Newbury Park
