SUMMARY:Coquina Mine Trail Loop - Marr Open Space/Simi Valley
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: This is a 6.3-mile trail loop near Simi Valley\, California. Generally considered a moderately challenging route\, it takes an average of 3 hours to complete. Most of the elevation gain occurs between miles 2-3\, some segments are very steep. This is partly on a fire road and trail. Our destination is an historic strip-mining operation that started in 1929 and ceased in 1935. Limestone was mined here for an extremely pure form of Calcium Carbonate (Calcite CaCO3). You’ll find abandoned mining equipment with large boulders of both Limestone and a lot of Fossils as we climb the last hill to the mine. The trail will end at the mining site with the largest mining equipment abandoned there. We’ll return on a loop path (see map below) to return to the trailhead. \nDETAILS:\n• Hike leader volunteer(s): Michele E\n• Meet: Las Llajas Trailhead at 7:45 am\, departure at 8:00 am sharp\n• Distance: Approximately 6.1 miles.\n• Elevation gain: Approximately 1\,053 feet.\n• Time: Approximately 3.5 hours hiking including a snack break.\n• Conditioning: You need to be in generally good physical condition.\n• Dogs: Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.\n• Restrooms: None.\n• Adventure Pass: Not Required \nIMPORTANT NOTES: We’ll hike at a brisk pace and ask everyone to stay with the group for a friendly and safe outing.

SUMMARY:Get off the beaten path with the local Lyons Ranch and Taylor Loop Trail
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: This hike is the first in a new collection of hikes targeted to explore local (or reasonably local) trails that are not necessarily the “shining stars” of local hikes. These hikes may be on lesser trails\, or almost no trails at all – even game paths or seldom explored areas. These won’t be our prettiest hikes\, or our wettest hikes\, or even our funnest hikes – but you true hikers will find inspiration and natural beauty from these lesser known nearby gems. \nThese hikes won’t be for everyone. If you don’t like trails or paths in poor condition\, this isn’t the hike for you. If you don’t like pushing through thick brush\, this isn’t the hike for you. If you don’t like steep drop-offs on either side of you\, then this may not be the hike for you. If you’re afraid of running into a snake (including rattlesnakes)\, then this probably is not the right trail for you. This is also now tick-season\, so you’ll need to check for ticks when you return. \nThe hike is about 2-1/2 to 3 hours (with break time). The trail will begin with some light elevation gain\, then a good bit of easy\, nearly flat trail\, and then begin to climb. We’ll follow along what I call the “ridge route” – following the ridges with small climbs along the way. We’ll be up high enough for some great views\, with no other people\, follow the ridge line around\, then we’ll start back down the trail. On the way down\, we can divert a bit to see ancient fossils on the side of a hill. \nSound great so far? \nThe positives are that you’ll explore a seldom used area in the Open Space near Towsley Canyon. It’s quiet. We won’t see many (or any) other hikers on this trail. Highlights include beautiful scenery\, a nice view of much of Santa Clarita and the Newhall Pass/Hwy 5 off in the distance. There should be grasses and wildflowers of various types\, and parts of the trail will be through thick brush and a negligible trail\, but I’ve hiked it twice now\, and its fine. \nBring your good hiking sole boots/shoes with good tread for this trail\, and hiking poles are HIGHLY recommended. Due to the likely presence of ticks and rattlesnakes\, I’m asking that you NOT bring your dog for its safety. The trail is narrow\, and steep in parts and not a good trail to bring your furry friend! If you have ankle gaiters\, I would recommend them. I’ll be wearing them\, but then I’ll be the first to run into any snakes! \nBecause the trail is not always well defined\, we’ll limit this hike to 15 people\, so if you sign up\, please attend\, or cancel with enough time that someone can sign up in your place. \nChallenges are steep elevation\, overgrown terrain\, and poor maintenance in a few areas. Due to growing grasses\, the trail will not be super visible in spots\, but I’ve done it now twice\, have GPS\, and know the way. \nThere is no water on this hike. There are very few trees – so don’t count on shade. This hike is truly for the adventurous hikers that don’t mind a workout\, and a good view\, and solitude in an area near the very popular Towsley Canyon loop. \nDETAILS:\n• Hike leader volunteer(s): Gary S\n• Meet: Towsley parking lot at 7:45 am\, departure at 8:00 am sharp\n• Distance: Approximately 5.1 miles.\n• Elevation gain: Approximately 1\,000 feet.\n• Time: Approximately 2.5 hours hiking including a snack break.\n• Conditioning: You need to be in generally good physical condition.\n• Dogs: Dogs are NOT recommended for this hike.\n• No Sweeps expected on this hike.\n• Restrooms: None.\n• Adventure Pass: Not Required \nIMPORTANT NOTES: We’ll hike at a good pace and ask everyone to stay with the group for a friendly and safe outing. There is very little shade\, so wear sun protection and sunscreen. As always\, people may slip and fall\, encounter poison oak\, rattlesnakes\, etc. on this hike. \nESSENTIAL GEAR:\n• Hiking boots or shoes with good tread and trekking poles.\n• Clothing layers recommended.\n• Snacks and 2+ liters of water and electrolytes or salt tablets.\n• Hat and sunscreen. \nThe Ten Essentials of Hiking (link) \nTHIS HIKE RANKING: Level 3\, Intermediate (see chart below).\nPlease only sign up to attend hikes that are consistent with your ability.

Unless you are at least good for a 3 or 4 level hike\, you should pass on this one. \nTRAILHEAD LOCATION:\nTowsley Canyon Park\, 24335 The Old Rd\, Newhall\, CA 91321 (off street parking).
