SUMMARY:Escape the Heat this weekend - Mt. Pinos\, Sawmill Peak (and maybe Grouse Peak)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday July 22\, 2023 \nMeetup Time : 7:45 A.M. (8:00 am SHARP hiking start) \nIt is predicted to be 100 F + in SCV this weekend. Escape with us to the cooler mountains nearby where we can enjoy the mid/high 70’s at 8\,000′. \nHEAT ALERT: Due to the current heat wave\, I will provide a followup weather/temperature forecast by Thursday before event. \nDISTANCE: 7 miles or 10.5 miles total (see Description) – out and back style. \nGAIN: 1100′ or 1900′ total (see Description) \nRATED: Not for beginners. This one is Moderate / Moderate +\, mainly for thin air (low oxygen) impact and a few steeper stretches. \nHIKE DURATION: About 4-1/2 hours (including a 20 minute snack break) \nDESCRIPTION:\nThis 7 mile hike (3.5 miles each way) from the 8340 ft. trail head takes you to 2 summits (first Mount Pinos 8831 ft. and then Sawmill Mountain 8818 ft). Moderate hikers should be easily able to complete all three summits.\nExtra credit: 3 extra miles to the final Peak at Grouse 8\,573 ft and back.\nOnce we get to Sawmill\, depending on the group make up/temperature/weather\, etc. we will collectively decide\, but most probably we will continue on to Grouse\, yet another Peak. If we do\, it would be almost 10.5 and 1200′ gain total for the hike.\nBear in mind\, this entire “out and back” trail is very well marked/ easy to follow\, so you can safely turn around at ANY stage\, depending on your ability/ stamina. Also\, we will have signposted the route with our popular orange chalk arrows to help you 🙂 \nMount Pinos is the highest point in Ventura County and lies on the edge of the Chumash Wilderness of the Los Padres National Forest. Mount Pinos\, created over 100 million years ago was known as Iwihinmu to the indigenous Chumash people. The slopes are a mix of sub-alpine\, white fir\, and Jeffrey Pine habitats. The views from Mount Pinos are beautiful\, especially if air is clear (San Joaquin Valley to the North\, Tehachapi to the East\, and the Carrizo Plain and Temblor Mountains to the Northwest).\nHopefully\, there should still be plenty of wildflower action at this cooler altitude. \nBRING:\nStrong shoes\, dress in layers (expecting 75 F at start). Poles are useful\, if you have them; snack lunch; a hat; !!sunscreen!!\, bug spray / bug net (in case). 3 liters of liquids (2L water/ 1 liter electrolytes\, i.e. Gatorade)\, and your camera. \nADVENTURE PASS:\nNot required in Summer. See bathroom note below. \nMEET : (Google Coordinates 34.8135\, -119.1263)\nYour leader at the Mt Pinos / Nordic Hut trailhead parking at 8:00 AM; we will depart up the trail to Mt Pinos at 8:00 AM SHARP.\nAllow 1-1/4 hours to get to trailhead from Santa Clarita. \nDIRECTIONS: From Santa Clarita Valley: Take I-5 North ~ 40 miles to the Frazier Park off ramp. Exit\, turn left under highway. Go West on the Frazier Park Road for about 12 miles passing Lockhart Valley Road (on the left) until you see signs for Mt. Pinos. Stay to the left at the main fork (do not go to Pine Mountain Club). Follow the road ahead\, twisting and turning 9 miles up the mountain to the Nordic Hut parking area\, at the end of the road. Park on the left side\, by the Mt Pinos trailhead\, and look for the group there. \nNOTE: There may (or may not) be operational Porta Potty toilets at trailhead or campground nearby. We recommend a quick stop as you exit the 5 Fwy at the Truck stop / gas station on the left\, before heading toward Frazier Park. \nDRIVING: If you wish to arrange a carpool with friends – Towsley Canyon/ Rivendale Park (Google coordinates 34.35815928\, -118.55535859) is a good meeting spot (24335 The Old Rd\, Newhall\, CA 91321 ) off I-5. \nLeader: Gary S

Mentryville and Pico No. 4 are registered as California State Historical Landmarks. \nThe beginning of the hike is on an asphalt road which yields to a fire road and untimely a single-track trail.

SUMMARY:Las Llajas Canyon Trail to Coquina Mine Trail Loop (Marr Ranch Open Space)
DESCRIPTION:***** RAIN OR SNOW FALLING AT TRAIL-HEAD CANCELS THIS HIKE ****** \nSummary: This is a moderately challenging 6-1/2 mile Level 3 (Intermediate) loop hike with 1620 feet of elevation climb. We’ll hike at a moderately brisk 2-1/2 mph pace\, taking about 3-1/2 hours to complete including a 20 minute snack break at the Coquina Mine Quarry site. All hikers should be able to keep up with the pace of the group\, or you may be asked to sign out if you cannot keep pace. \nSite Info: This hike is located in the hills of Simi Valley\, California\, north of the 118 Freeway. We’ll start up the Los Llajas trail from the trailhead\, and climb\, then switch trails to the Coquina Mine Trail. Explore an abandoned quarry site with heavy mining equipment. The geology of the area is a mix of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks\, including sandstone\, shale\, and limestone. The rocks at the Coquina Mine Trail have been subjected to various geologic processes over millions of years\, including erosion\, uplift\, and tectonic activity. These processes have created the unique geological features that are visible along the trail\, including exposed rock layers\, rock formations\, and geological structures and should make for interesting hike. \nHike leader volunteers: Gary S (Julie Assisting)\nDogs: OK\, if well behaved around other dogs/ people with hiking poles and on a leash.\nRestrooms – None\nAdventure Pass: Not required.\nBring: This is a fully exposed rocky trail\, so wear appropriate hiking shoes/boots. Hiking Poles helpful. Recommend dressing in layers.

DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION: I discovered this is an old club favorite after looking through the last five years of hikes.

SUMMARY:BKS - Hike To Echo Mountain with extra credit to Inspiration Point.
DESCRIPTION:Intermediate/Advanced Hike! \nPull out your Butt Kicker Boots. \nDESCRIPTION: Bring your A-game\, and let the mountains become your personal Stairmaster – because who needs a gym when you’ve got nature’s masterclass in butt-kicking? We will meet at the gate at the ruins of the old Cobb Estate. There is only neighborhood parking so please be respectful of the area. From there we will take the Sam Merrill Trail to the remains of Echo Mountain Lodge and check out the detritus of the Mt Lowe Railway as well as a quick break and snacky time. \nFor those that have had enough uphill for the day\, we will check you out and send you on your way back down to the trailhead\, while the more adventurous go for the extra credit challenge to Inspiration Point. This is an Intermediate/Advanced route depending on what you choose to hike.

SUMMARY:Mishe Mokwa Funky Sculpture Fun Time - Backbone Trail.
DESCRIPTION:Intermediate/Advanced Hike! \nBust out your Trekking Poles and boots with good traction! \nDESCRIPTION: This is not a trail for the faint of heart\, there are also some technical spots with some mild scrambling. Trekking poles are highly recommended. This is about a 6-mile loop that will feel more like 10 when you’re done. The Backbone Trail isn’t just a walk in the park—it’s more like a rollercoaster ride with Mother Nature at the controls. We will be zigzagging our way through the Santa Monica Mountains\, dodging bushes\, and scrambling over beat-up uneven trails. Why would we do such a thing? Epic views of the Pacific and nature’s version of abstract art and yet another view called “Inspiration Point”. \nHike leader volunteers: Paul Huskey.

Temps are getting colder!\nSnacks and 2+ liters of water and electrolytes or salt tablets; camera\, hat\, and sunscreen.\nAppropriate hiking gear and survival essentials are recommended.\n\n\n\n**THIS HIKE RANKING: Level 4 (Intermediate/Advanced – see chart below)**: \nHIKE RANKING SCALE – Consider your capabilities before RSVP’ing for a hike to ensure you are properly conditioned for a hike:\n1) Beginner: 1-3 miles\, less than 500 feet elevation gain\n2) Beginner/Intermediate: 1-7 miles\, less than 700 feet elevation gain\n3) Intermediate: 5-10 miles\, 1000-2000 feet elevation gain\n4) Intermediate/Advanced: 7-12 miles\, up to 3000 feet elevation gain\n5) Advanced: 10-17 miles\, 3000 feet or more elevation gain \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY – IMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nWhen you sign up for this event\, you are releasing Community Hiking Club from any liability or responsibility with your participation in this group activity. \nWhile safety is a priority for everyone in the group\, hiking can be inherently risky.

The Backbone Trail isn’t just a walk in the park—it’s more like a rollercoaster ride with Mother Nature at the controls. We will be zigzagging our way through the Santa Monica Mountains\, dodging bushes\, and scrambling over beat-up uneven trails. Why would we do such a thing? Epic views of the Pacific and nature’s version of abstract art and yet another view called “Inspiration Point”. \nHike leader volunteers: Paul Huskey.
