SUMMARY:Explore Willis- Rice Loop Trail
DESCRIPTION:It’s been a while\, so let’s go for a little stroll\, shall we? We will park at the Old Baldwin Road Trailhead and head up the river. There are a couple of river crossings- ok there might be water in the river that we will need to cross. You can do all of this hike\, or just some. I hope to see you there! Jim \nExplore this 7.6-mile loop trail near Ojai\, California. Generally considered a moderately challenging route\, it takes an average of 3 h 1 min to complete. This is a popular trail for birding\, hiking\, and running\, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. \nhttps://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/california/lower-river-trails-wills-canyon-trail-and-oso-ridge-trail

SUMMARY:Santa Rosa/Wildwood - Canyon Overlook\, Stagecoach Bluff\, and Lizard Rock Loop
DESCRIPTION:https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/fri-17-nov-2017-18-49–3?p=-1&sh=aoxfvb \nHello Fellow Hikers! \nCindysue asked me if I wanted to lead a hike since she can’t hike this day. Please take note of the earlier start time. \nThis is a route that I created on my own back when I hiked this area every week. I have attached my AllTrails recording from the last time I did this hike. There will be an immediate incline to the top of the canyon. Then there will be a somewhat leveled off section with views of the canyon to the right and hills to the left. We will descend down towards the Paradise Falls area\, pass by a camp area\, and complete a few water crossings before starting our climb up Lizard Rock Trail back to the top of the canyon. After that\, it is all downhill back to our cars. \n* Note 1: There are no plans to stop at Paradise Falls\, however we can take a short break if we are making good time. This area (especially the falls) is often very crowded on weekends. * \n** Note 2: The trails near Paradise Falls are usually closed for 48 hours after heavy rainfall. The current forecast shows a storm starting on 3/20 and stopping on 3/23. I have an alternate route if the trail is closed. The distance should be about the same\, but the elevation gain will decrease. If it is still raining on Friday\, the hike will be postponed. ** \nLoop\nMiles – 5.41\nElevation Gain – 1529 ft\nRated – Moderate\nDogs allowed on leash\nParking – Free small dirt lot next to trailhead with overflow parking on Hill Canyon Rd closer towards Santa Rosa Rd \nAs of now there is no sweeper for this hike so please know if you feel you cannot finish for any reason please turn back early. \nPlease check back on hike info as rain\, heat advisory\, strong winds or low attendance may cause the hike to be rescheduled. \nWe will always follow Jim’s Golden Rules: \n\nHike your own hike\nPlease stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up\n\nPlease remember to bring all essentials you’ll need for a hike\n(water\, hat\, sunglasses\, hiking boot/hiking shoes poles\, snacks) \nLiability Disclaimer:\nAnd last….The Organizer\, Co Organizer\, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides.

SUMMARY:PCT South via Tehachapi Willow Springs Road
DESCRIPTION:https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/pct-south-via-tehachapi-willow-springs-road \nHello Fellow Hikers\,\nGot a treat for ya…another day trip….to the PCT in the Tehachapi Mountains! This part of the PCT is unique as it’s known for wild horses\,wild burros\, Joshua trees\, wild flowers but above all the windmills! Yes this section of the PCT will take us through the windmills. This desert landscape can get hot so a no can do during summer. With the recent winter weather the trail was covered with and up to waist high snow. And lower parts of the trails were just mud. So we should be hitting the trail after the winter conditions and before the summer with hopes of catching a glimpse of the wild horses. Not as well known trail (except for the Thru PCT hikers) so we should have most of this hike to ourselves. This trail is not to long so with our drive will be continuing our hike on the PCT to get in more mileage so expect at least a 12 mile day with about 1800 elevation gain. Afterwards Kim has found a 5 star (on Yelp) restaurant. this is a casual dining atmosphere just rated high for the food. It is a Indian flare with american food as well. My truck is filling up fast for carpooling so please message me if you need a ride or if you can take others and follow us from the carpool site..Carpooling at our same meetup spot will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool or follow to the trailhead (Best donuts located 2325 Kuehner Dr # 127 Simi Valley off the 118 freeway at 8:00 am) I have attached the AllTrails link for directions\, stats and photos. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/pct-south-via-tehachapi-willow-springs-road \nTrail out and back\nMiles around 12.0\nElevation Gain around 1800\nParking side road\nDogs allowed \nAs of now there is no sweeper for this hike so please know if you feel you can not finish for any reason please turn back early \nPlease check back on hike info as rain\, heat advisory\, strong winds or low attendance may cause the hike to be rescheduled \nWe will always follow Jim’s Golden Rules: \n\nHike your own hike\nPlease stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up\n\nPlease remember to bring all essentials you’ll need for a hike\n(water\,hat\,sunglasses\,hiking boot/hiking shoes poles if needed snacks) \nLiability Disclaimer: \nAnd last….The Organizer\, Co Organizer\, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides.

Perfect time of year as its still green with wildflowers and still a cool breeze.

SUMMARY:PCT: Indian Canyon to Vasquez Rocks
DESCRIPTION:** Please read the entire description before you RSVP as things will be a little different with this hike ** \nhttps://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/pct-vasquez-to-indian-canyon?u=i&sh=aoxfvb \nHello Everyone\, \nWe will be doing this hike northbound (opposite the AllTrails route). We will do close to 9 miles of the PCT. We will see some interesting rock formations including Three Sisters Rock and Vasquez Rocks and a cool tunnel under the 14 Freeway. We may also come across some PCT thru hikers. There is no shade\, so we will be starting as early as possible. Please make sure you are prepared for 5 hours of sun exposure. This is a point-to-point hike where one trailhead requires an Adventure Pass (America the Beautiful Pass also accepted). The meeting place will be the in the parking lot at the Vasquez Rocks Nature Center. The parking lot is free and opens at 8 am. We will carpool from Vasquez Rocks to the Indian Canyon trailhead (Adventure Pass required) and hopefully be on the trail by 8:30 am. At this point\, the group size is limited to 5 people because we only have 1 guaranteed carpool vehicle (we need to leave at least 1 at the end point). I will move people over from the waitlist if I can get another driver willing to transport hikers to the starting trailhead and/or hikers driving themselves to Vasquez Rocks willing to drive people back to their cars at Indian Canyon. Please DM me if you are willing to do any transporting. As a courtesy to others\, please remove yourself from the attending list immediately if you find that you cannot attend the hike. The RSVP window will close at Noon the day before the hike. \nOptional: We also plan on going to 49er Saloon in Acton after the hike for a late lunch (https://www.the49ersalooncompany.com). \nCarpooling will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool or follow to the trailhead (Best Donuts – 2325 Kuehner Dr #127\, Simi Valley at 7:30 am). I have attached the AllTrials link to give you an idea of the stats (remember we are doing this backwards): https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/pct-vasquez-to-indian-canyon?u=i&sh=aoxfvb \nPoint to point trail\nMiles 8.7\nElevation Gain ~1600 ft\nRated moderate\nParking: Lot at Vasquez Rocks with additional overflow parking on dirt; paved lot at Indian Canyon\nRestrooms: Portable toilet at Vasquez Rocks (regular restroom available when the Nature Center opens at 8:30 am); Pit toilet at Indian Canyon. \nFor those on the waitlist\, please DM me (Kim) the following information: \n\nDo you have an Adventure Pass or are you willing to get one? Adventure Pass Info: Region 5 – Recreation Passes & Permits (usda.gov)\nAre you willing to shuttle hikers from one trailhead to another?\n\nAnswering “No” to either question will not prevent you from being able to join the hike. I just need to figure out logistics and how to move people around. Waitlist people will be moved over to attending in order of first DM to me and availability of transportation. I will do my best to keep people updated on the Comments Wall or via DM. \nAs of now there is no sweeper for this hike. If you feel you cannot finish for any reason\, please turn back early. Remember this is a point-to-point hike so your vehicle will not be at the trailhead unless you drive there. \nPlease check back on hike info as rain\, heat advisory\, strong winds or low attendance may cause the hike to be rescheduled.\nWe will always follow Jim’s Golden Rules: 1. Hike your own hike 2. Please stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up\nPlease remember to bring all essentials you’ll need for a hike: (water\,hat\,sunglasses\,hiking boot/hiking shoes poles if needed snacks) \nLiability Disclaimer: And last….The Organizer\, Co Organizer\, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides.
