SUMMARY:Santa Susana Stage Road - Beginer hike but the Devils in the details
DESCRIPTION:Details\nThis is a beginner hike with a tad bit of challenge due to gains and a tad bit of scrambling and bush whacking. \n*** Safety Note: Rain or Extreme Heat at trailhead cancels hikes.\nMeetup Time: 7:15 A.M. (We hit the trail at 7:30) \nDISTANCE: 5 miles – out and back \nGAIN: 863 ft \nRATED: Beginner + for a little bit of rock scrambling and slight bush whacking. \nHIKE DURATION: About 2 ½ to 3 hours (including a 20-minute snacky time!) \nDESCRIPTION: The Santa Susana Pass is a narrow gap in the Santa Susana Mountains that separates the San Fernando Valley from Simi Valley. In the mid-19th century\, the Santa Susana Pass became an important transportation route for wagons and stagecoaches traveling between Los Angeles and points north. \nThe stagecoaches and wagons would have to make a sketchy journey down the Devils slide\, an angular rock formation located within the pass. This was so treacherous horses were usually blindfolded and chains were used to augment brakes on the steep descent. Passengers debarked and walked\, as opposed to risking gravity and angular momentum. The deep ruts made by the wagons on the ‘Devil’s Slide’ section are still visible. \nWe will be hiking up the Devils Slide to a overlook where you can see the angle of the Devils Slide and an some breathtaking views of the pass and …uh…the industrial buildings and power lines in the distance. There are a couple of shady Oaks we can park under for Snacky time\, then we will be making our way back down to the to the Devils slide and once back to the bottom a little loop back to the trail head. \nBRING: Strong shoes\, (most of this trail is in the open with little or no shade) Poles will be useful for some the technical areas.; snack; a hat; !!sunscreen!!\, bug spray / bug net (in case). 3 liters of liquids (2L water/ 1-liter electrolytes\, i.e.\, Gatorade). \nADVENTURE PASS: No \n**MEET AT: (**Google GPS Coordinates: 34°14’58.8″N 118°37’10.9″W) The Andora Ave Trail head is in a neighborhood\, so please be quiet and respectful of the locals. Meet at the picnic tables at the trail head. \nBathrooms: Pitt Toilet at the Trail head. \nDogs: OK\, if well behaved around other dogs/ people with hiking poles and on a leash. \nLeaders: Paul H\, and Gary S.

SUMMARY:BKS - Lets hike the biggest thing in the neighborhood - Mt Lukens
DESCRIPTION:This is Part two of the new BKS (Butt Kicking Series) of hikes! *(Hikes with close to 3000′ Gain and or 10 or more miles.) \n*** Safety Note: Rain or Extreme Heat at trailhead cancels hikes. \nMeetup Time: 7:15 A.M. ( We hit the trail at 7:30) \nDISTANCE: 9.9 miles – Loop \nGAIN: 2\,795 ft \nRATED: Strenuous mainly for the almost 10-mile Distance and the 2\,795 ‘ gain. Not a hike for Beginners! \nHIKE DURATION: About 5 1/2 to 6 hours (including a 20-minute snacky time!) \nDESCRIPTION: Mount Lukens is a mountain located in the San Gabriel Mountains\, just north of the city of Glendale\, California. It is the highest point in the city of Los Angeles\, with an elevation of 5\,074 feet (1\,547 meters) above sea level. At the end of the day\, it’s just one of many peaks in the San Gabriel Mountains\, trying to get attention by being all “look at me\, I’m so tall and imposing…. Climb me!”. \nThe plan is to hike the counterclockwise loop up to the summit of this behemoth. The trail will share some of its ancient secrets as we pass through the lower slopes that consist of Precambrian-age schist and gneiss\, which are some of the oldest rocks in the region. As we gain altitude above the lower slopes\, we will be passing through younger (only 100 million years) Cretaceous granite with metamorphic outcroppings of shist\, gneiss\, and amphibolite scattered around for extra intrusive spice. \nOnce we reach the summit if we are lucky enough for a clear day\, we should be available to see from one end of the San Fernando Valley to the Pacific\, and perhaps even Catalina. As we sit at the summit and admire the curvature of the horizon\, we will break for snacky time! So\, bring something good to eat and recharge your body. From this point it’s all downhill to the parking lot where we started ( more or less). \nBRING: Strong shoes\, dress in layers might be chilly in the morning\, (most of this trail is in the open with little or no shade) Poles will be useful for some the technical areas.; snack lunch; a hat; !!sunscreen!!\, bug spray / bug net (in case). 3 liters of liquids (2L water/ 1-liter electrolytes\, i.e.\, Gatorade). \nADVENTURE PASS: YES. Required for parking in the Angeles National Forest. 1/car for those who drive. These can be obtained at any BIG 5 Sporting Goods store; $5 for a day pass\, $30 for a year pass. \n**MEET AT: (**Google GPS Coordinates: 34.249481462242734\, -118.25364621694166) We will be in the parking lot in front of the bathrooms. \nBathrooms: Indeed\, there will be bathroom at the meetup location. \nDogs: OK\, if well behaved around other dogs/ people with hiking poles and on a leash. \nLeaders: Paul H\, and Gary S.

SUMMARY:Substitute Hike for the Heat - Fish Canyon Water Hike to Piano Box Canyon
DESCRIPTION:******* RAIN FALLING AT TRAILHEAD CANCELS ALL HIKES ******* \nSaturday\, May 13\, 2023 – Time to get your feet wet with 36 Stream Crossings! That’s right kids\, we are hiking Fish Canyon to Piano Box Canyon (and maybe beyond a bit up into the Narrows). \nFish Canyon is a BKS Substitute hike for the previously scheduled Mt Lukens hike because of the forecast 90+ degree weather this Saturday. \nThis substitute hike will give you a great opportunity to stay COOL while hiking Saturday – and you will have to entertain yourself with about 36 separate creek crossing over the fairly fast flowing\, fairly high flow rate creek! We just pre-hiked it\, and its easy enough and plenty safe enough to cross. It is not possible to cross the creek without walking through it – so you WILL get wet – AT LEAST UP TO YOUR KNEES! Shorts or pants that you can roll up during the crossings are advised\, as are water-friendly footwear that you can cross through the creek with and still hike with. Be advised there is a considerable amount of poison oak/poison ivy along the trail\, so take that into account regarding long pants. \nMany of you have previously been up Fish Canyon\, but a LOT has changed after this winter’s rain and storm activity. You won’t recognize parts of the canyon compared to how it was. LOTS of the old asphalt road and the dirt trails are highly eroded\, or GONE! The trail is in poor shape in many places\, and because of the heavy erosion\, the normally good trail is quite rocky and slower to hike. We’ll have to walk up the road in the water in some cases\, and bushwhack a bit to find portions of the trail since parts have been destroyed. For anyone who hasn’t been up there since this winter\, you will be in for a surprise and many NEW landscapes and topography. \nDistance: ~ 8ish Miles total (Min 4 miles in and back out) \nGain: ~ 500′ (mostly the road back to the car from the trailhead) \nHiking Time: ~ 4+ hours \nRating: Moderate (mainly for an uphill stretch of highway at the end along the road\, returning to the cars from the gate where we park. \nNote – You should to be in good general condition to enjoy this hike. \nNormal Hike Description:\nThis is a beautiful area containing 37 types of endangered species. It is prime yellow-legged frog and Arroyo Toad Habitat. Bring your camera. Not only is the area beautiful\, but you might see some of the endangered species along the way. Please stay on the trails here\, and watch where you step during the stream crossings. \nThe hike starts on an abandoned asphalt road\, moves onto a dirt road at the north end of Castaic Lake and follows Fish Canyon. The only major hill is the asphalt road coming back up to the cars\, the trail is fairly level the rest of the way. The trail through Fish Canyon is interspersed with portions of what is left of the old cement road from the 1930s up into the Canyon. \nThen we split off the main trail for the trail to Piano Box Canyon\, a beautiful single track wooded trail. We will snack and rest in Piano box and have ample time to enjoy the canyon walls of reddish/orange rock before returning. \nMeet your leader at the Trail Head (Trailhead address below) – or put this # into Google Maps (34.6022\, -118.6707):\n37773 Templin Highway\, Angeles National Forest\, Castaic\, CA 91384 \nDirections to Trail head (about 30 mins) from SCV / SFV areas:\nTake the I-5 Freeway North from Santa Clarita. About 6 miles north of Lake Hughes/Castaic\, exit at Templin Highway EAST. Turn right at bottom of FWY off ramp.\nFollow Templin Hwy East (a curvy road) straight (i.e. do not turn off it). Drive about 10 mins max\, all the way until it ends at a closed white gate/ concrete barrier. You can park along the road beside it\, leave nothing showing in your vehicle. \nMeeting Time:\nMeet at the white gate at the trail head at 7:00AM for an 7:15AM SHARP departure down to the trailhead and Fish Canyon.\nNote: No Adventure Pass needed and No bathrooms at trailhead. \nBring:\nLunch/ snack\, lots of water (2 – 3 liters)\, and a camera. \nWear:\nLayered clothing\, hat\, sunscreen\, shoes with good tread\, long pants in case there is poison oak or ticks about. \nThere are about 18 separate water crossings in each direction – so be prepared for about 36 total water crossings IN THE WATER. There is no option to cross the creeks without getting wet up to about your knees! \nDogs: NOT RECOMMENDED. The creek is moving fast with moderately heavy flow rates. There are a total of 36 creek crossings total and in many places there is no trail left\, or is highly eroded. What is left of the trail is very rocky and will be difficult for a dog to walk on. The trail is missing in quite a few places\, and there are sections with tall grasses that have very little visibility regarding snakes and/or ticks. Any dog brought must be kept on a leash and be well behaved around other dogs/ people with poles. \nLeader: Gary and Paul
