SUMMARY:DAGGER FLAT TRAIL RECONSTRUCTION - Volunteer Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:******** THIS IS NOT A HIKE ***********\n*** RAIN\, SNOW OR EXCESS HEAT AT WORK SITE WILL CANCEL EVENT ** \nJoin Dianne for some light trail clean up of the DAGGER FLAT TRAIL – No experience required! \nTHIS IS NOT A HIKE\, but you will be among some of the most spectacular scenery near SCV. The trail is still there! Help Dianne bring it back from being a bit overgrown after the last fire. \nAt this time we are restoring the beginning of the trail\, closest to the trail head. We will show you how to make/ maintain a trail. Get that special feeling of accomplishment as you work with other volunteers to complete manageable small outdoor projects (Trimming\, trail brushing and stashing trimmings). No heavy lifting etc. at this time. Work for a few hours\, we will leave to come back early if it gets too hot. \nPLEASE only RSVP “Yes” if you can make it. \nMeet At:\nGoogle Latitude/Longitude coordinates 34.360824\, -118.391941. We meet at Sand Canyon Road and 3N17 white gate. \nDirections to Meeting Spot (White Gate for 3N17):\nTake the I-5 to the SR-14 North. Exit at Sand Canyon\, turn right (South/East). Go all the way past all the houses\, Placerita Canyon etc.\, going straight. Enter the Angeles National Forest and continue up!up!up! Sand Canyon Road until you see a memorial at a bad corner (on the right side). Shortly after this you will see a small brown sign “Santa Clara Divide Road” on the left. Park in one of the turnouts to the left\, right\, or above this sign but not blocking the white gate. Dianne will caravan you and your car to the trail head. \nMeeting Time:\nWe will meet at 7:45AM and leave for the trail head no later than 8:00AM SHARP.

TP (there are no bathrooms)\, strong garden GLOVES (suede leather type recommended) \, sunscreen\, a cooling towel\, sun hat\, bandana. Bring a mask if you cannot maintain social distancing. (A mask will also keep dust off of your face while working) \nDo Not Bring:\nDogs\, as they get bored. Also\, it would not be safe to bring young children (due to sharp tools and trail is narrow). Leave your garden tools at home\, as we could damage them or lose them. \nThank you for helping bring back this trail\, so we can all enjoy it. \nLeader: Dianne

SUMMARY:Local Beginners/ Easy Hike - Whitney Canyon to the Cascades
DESCRIPTION:Local Beginner’s / Easy Hike!! Whitney Canyon to the cascades \nDistance: ~ 4.5 miles total\, out and back. \nGain: Almost none \nRated: Easy\, suitable for beginners and families. \nTime: About 2.5 hours \nDescription: (GPS Co-ords: 34.364404\, -118.500829 )\nA beautiful mostly flat 4.5 mile hike\, along a river bed with shady oak trees along most of the route. This is such a pleasant and easy “out and back” hike that you do not have to leave the kids or dog at home either. \nYour hike starts along a dirt road\, but after about a half mile\, becomes a single track – all the way to the “Cascades” – the site of a nice little waterfall (not flowing at this time of year). Expect to see squirrels\, deer\, woodpeckers and other birds that like this riparian habitat. We’ve also once seen a black bear! \nBring: This hike is short but you might like to bring a small snack to eat at the waterfall or along the way\, water (~1 liter)\, sun protection/hat. \nDogs: Allowed\, if on a leash and well-behaved around other dogs and people. (The MRCA fine\, if your dog is caught off-leash is $265.) \nMeeting place: \nMeet at the Whitney Canyon trailhead (by the gate\, GPS Co-ords: 34.364404\, -118.500829 ) at 7:15 AM for an 7:30AM SHARP departure down the trail. We should be back by about 9:30AM before the day heats up. \nDirections: From Valencia\, take the I-5 Freeway south ; from San Fernando Valley\, take 1-5 freeway North. Get on the SR-14 North and be ready to take the first Exit – Newhall Avenue. Take a right at the fork on the off-ramp. and when you reach the stop sign\, turn right. This will lead you quickly into the Park and Ride that is adjacent to SR-14. Parking is FREE. Park in the dirt lot to the left of the asphalt Park and Ride. \nNOTE: Park in the dirt/gravel overflow lot below to the left of the park and ride. Look for your leader by the gate in the gravel/dirt lot\, bottom right side. This is the trail head for Whitney Canyon. \nLeader: Dianne

SUMMARY:Chilao Visitor's Center to Mt. Hillyer\, looping back via Silver Moccasin trail
DESCRIPTION:Saturday August 6\, 2022 – Hike from the Chilao Visitors Center to Mt. Hillyer (6\,200′) and back by the Silver Mocassin Trail\nStart Hike: Meet at Chilao Visitor’s Center (Trailhead) at 7:45AM\, details below. \nDistance: 7.3 miles\, Round trip – Lollipop style loop hike\nGain: ~ 1\,234′ \nRating: Moderate + (i.e. not one for Beginners\, you need to be in good general condition to enjoy this hike). \nDescription:\nThis hike has some really nice views and being at a higher elevation it should be cooler. We start the hike at the Chilao Visitor Center parking lot\, a short distance from the trail head on part of the Silver Moccasin Trail surrounded by a pine and cedar forest. \nAt Horse Flats fork we turn left\, passing the Horse Flats campground before climbing on a well traveled trail up a gentle slope and a few switchbacks to reach the top of Mt. Hillyer. A century ago this was bandido country (the notorious Tiburcio Vasquez and his gang of horse thieves utilized Chilao and Horse Flats when they were not hanging out at Vasquez rocks\, near Acton). \nThe great boulders we will pass served as a fortress for the bandits and today these same boulders serve as a great location for rock climbers and make for some very cool photos. \nFrom the round top of Mt. Hillyer (6\,200′)\, we will be rewarded with nice views that the bandits probably used to their advantage. We will follow the ridge NE to the Rosenita Saddle trailhead. Here we turn right on a paved road and follow it for a bit\, turning off back towards the Horse Flats campground. At the back of the campsite we will hook-up with the Silver Moccasin Trail again heading back to the Chilao Visitor center. \nNote: The highway to the trailhead is twisty after passing Upper Tujunga on Hwy 2. If you are susceptible to carsickness\, plan accordingly. \nDirections to Chilao Visitor Center (34.326805\, -118.006125) :\nVia 14 FWY North:\nTake 14 FWY North to Exit 30 for Angeles Forest Hwy\, Stay on Angeles Forest HWY N4 for 16 miles to Upper Big Tujunga\, sharp turn to the left. Head 9 miles on Upper Big T all the way to the intersection with 2 Angeles Crest Hwy. Turn left (East) and follow 2 Hwy for 8 miles\, making a left turn into the Chilao Visitor Center (it’s just past the parking lot for Devils Canyon trail head). \nAlternative Route\, Via the 210 FWY:\nExit at Angeles Crest HWY 2 NORTH (Exit #20). Follow the 2 towards the mountains for ~ 27 miles\, making a left turn into the Chilao Visitor Center (it is just past the parking lot for Devils Canyon trail head). \nMeet your Leader: At the Chilao Visitor Center (34.326805\, -118.006125)\nPark in the Visitor’s Center parking lot at ~ 7:45AM. We will leave the lot to depart up the trail at 8:00AM SHARP. \nBring: Lots of liquids for hydrating (2L water + 1L Electrolytes like Gatorade)\, a hat\, sunscreen\, a snack and hiking poles if you have them. Good shoes with tread are a must. \nAdventure Pass: Yes\, 1/car. Available at Acton or any other Ranger Station\, the Little Tujunga Ranger station\, REI Nothridge\, Big 5 Sporting Goods ($5 a day/ $30 a year). \nDogs: OK\, if on a leash and well-behaved with other dogs / people carrying poles. If you bring your dog\, please drive yourself. \nLeader: Nancy H
