SUMMARY:To Serra Cross Park at Grant Park ~ Gentler Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: We will meet at the Museum parking lot between Santa Clara and Main Street. \nIt will be cool on Tuesday and this is an alternative hike for Tuesday where you can get some elevation. We will hike from the museum up to the cross and a few trails in the upper botanical garden\, before we head back down. Bring money or credit card\, so we can stop along the way for lunch or a cool smoothie. \nThis hike will start at the Museum of Ventura County parking lot. We will then cross Main Street and take the stairs up to Poli Street where we can connect to Brakey Road (This will be safer than Ferro as no cars are allowed) and hike up to the top of the hill to the Sierra Cross at Grant Park. After a few trails on the upper part of the gardens\, we will come down Summit Drive to N Kalorama Street\, which will take us to Main Street. Rather than go to the pier\, we’ll cut it short and walk to N Palm Street\, where we can have lunch at my new favorite spot in Ventura called CAJÉ. If you want to skip lunch\, you can continue on Main Street to the museum parking. \nAnyone who wants to make it longer can walk down to the pier and eat at the taco place. (It opens at 11:00 AM.) You’ll add about 1-2 miles if you walk to the pier. \nhttps://visitventuraca.com/business/serra-cross-park-at-grant-park/ \nIt’s about 4 miles with approximately 400-500’ elevation gain. \nDIRECTIONS:\nFrom 101 northbound\, exit on California St. turning right off the freeway. Stay in the middle lane to cross E Thompson and turn left onto Santa Clara St. You will then cross S Oak Street\, S Palm Street\, and Figueroa St. At the next street (Junipero St.\, which ends at Santa Clara Street) you’ll turn into the public parking lot. If you miss the turn\, you can go around the block and turn into the parking lot from Main Street. \nPlease review the guidelines (link to the guidelines) to join our hikes.\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re shown on the “Attending” list.\nPlan on completing the entire hike at a moderate pace.\n\nDISCLAIMER/RELEASE OF LIABILITY – PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group. Safety should be a priority for everyone in the group. Please treat this meet-up as hiking with a group of friends. If you become fatigued and unable to continue the hike\, it is expected you will advise the hike host of this and return to our starting point on your own. If you are able to proceed\, it is expected that you will maintain line of sight with other members of the group at all times and help to promote the group’s safety and fitness goals.\nOutdoor sports and other events we plan can be inherently dangerous and accidents may happen. By participating in any posted event\, you are taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. The Weekday Trailblazers Meetup Group and its organizers and hosts are not trained leaders and we do not confirm the qualifications of any of its members to lead or participate in trips.

Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience.\nAll participants must be 18 or older\, or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

SUMMARY:Malibu Creek State Park - Fall Equinox Hike
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, September 26\, Malibu Creek State Park (MCSP) will be holding its 50th anniversary celebration. We will get a jump start on the celebration by doing a grand tour of the central/western part of the park. Our hike starts from MCSP’s Lower/Main Trailhead parking lot. You will be entering the state park through the staffed kiosk off of Las Virgenes so have your state park pass or entrance fee ($3/hour\, $11/day) handy. \nOur MCSP adventure begins with a riparian detour through the Ann Skager trail via the campground amphitheater. After the Ann Skager loop we will pick up the High Road that runs along Malibu Creek and connects with Crags Road. Crags Road climbs up to Century Lake. We will stop to enjoy Century Dam’s man-made waterfall (overflow) and then continue our climb using the Lookout Trail which affords panoramic views of the western end of the park. From there we will proceed to the MASH site which will be our turnaround point. We will return the way we came (sans Lookout trail)\, adding on a loop up and over the Grassland Trail with views of the eastern end of the park (and the main parking lot from whence we started). \nThis out-and-back hike\, plus those side trips\, clocks in at around 7 miles\, with an elevation gain/loss of about 650‘. \nDirections: From the 101 Freeway take Las Virgenes Rd.\, south for about 3.5 miles to the MCSP entrance (first right after crossing Mulholland). \nPlease review the guidelines (link to the guidelines) to join our hikes.\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re shown on the “Attending” list.\nPLEASE bring plenty of water.\nYour safety is your own personal responsibility\, but the hike leader reserves the right to ask you to leave if you come unprepared.\nNo “Plus Ones” or dogs on Weekday Trailblazer hikes.\n\nDISCLAIMER/RELEASE OF LIABILITY – PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY\nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group. Safety should be a priority for everyone in the group. Please treat this meet-up as hiking with a group of friends.

SUMMARY:Emma Beach Bike Path walk/Hike (Costal Series 1)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday morning at Emma Wood State Beach forecast is clear to mostly sunny skies with excellent walking conditions that hover around high 60s°F to middle 70s°F. \nI have planned a series of 4-5 hike/walk coastal bike path treks that include small “stepping out” excursions to the beach. The treks will be about 5-6 miles (out and back time) from Ventura to Carpinteria with each starting point commencing from the previously week’s return point each time. The initial trek starts in Ventura and progresses North toward Carpinteria. \nOverall\, the coastal walking and biking route from Ventura to Carpinteria spans roughly 16 miles one-way (32 miles round trip) along a scenic route hugging the Pacific Ocean. We can easily explore segments of this route. \nThe hikes will bring joyful/scenic coastal views of the vast\, open horizon where the blue ocean meets the sky and allows listening to the steady rhythm of crashing waves and feeling a cool sea breeze. It brings a deep sense of peace and calm. \nThis walk will be about 5-6 miles each time.\nThe attendee limit of 10 is firm. The consecutive starting points is the previous rerunning point each time. \nPlease join me and enjoy beautiful nature as well as getting some exercise and feeling a sense of accomplishment. \nDirections: From US-101\, exit 70A to California St and turn right onto California St. Then turn left onto Thompson Blvd and drive 0.7 miles. Turn left onto Main St. and drive about 0.8 miles and turn left onto Park Access Rd. to Ventura River Group Park if you have The Senior Golden Bear Pass.\n(There is free public parking lot as you turn onto Main St. and drive 0.2miles and turn left into the W. Main Bike Path parking lot before crossing the bridge.) \nDISCLAIMER/RELEASE OF LIABILITY – PLEASE READ IN ITS ENTIRETY BELOW\nPlease review the guidelines (link to the guidelines) to join our hikes.\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re shown on the “Attending” list.\nPlan on completing the entire hike at a moderate pace.\nBring sunscreen\, plenty of water\, and a sun hat.\n\nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group. Safety should be a priority for everyone in the group. Please treat this meet-up as hiking with a group of friends. If you become fatigued and unable to continue the hike\, it is expected you will advise the hike host of this and return to our starting point on your own.
