Instead of our usual starting point at the Conejo Playfields, this shorter, gentler hike will start at the top of Camino Magenta, in the beautiful unincorporated Lynn Ranch neighborhood surrounded by Thousand Oaks. We'll do a clockwise loop around the gated Lynnmere community and wind up back at our starting point about 4.5 miles and […]

Let's head out to the famed Peace, Love, Joy arch at the Danielson. This out and back hike wanders through grasslands and chaparral from the Rancho Sierra Vista trailhead, then climbs up Danielson fire road for some fantastic views north to Port Hueneme and Oxnard and west toward the Pacific Ocean. If it's really clear, […]

Due to the summer heat and humidity this is a choose your own hike. You have the option of 6 or 8 miles. It’s a straight forward out and back hike so you decide when to turn back. Encinal Canyon is named for encina, the Spanish word for the holm oak, a lovely Mediterranean tree […]

It is going to be hot on Tuesday, so this is a slower, early, hike up Ray Miller. The trail is an awesome blend of ocean and mountain views in Malibu’s La Jolla Canyon. We will start from the trailhead which follows the canyon eastward, away from the ocean. Then, it quickly brings you back […]

Summer heat is here so let’s get in a 6 mile hike before the temperature get too high. Palo Comado ("Burnt Stick" in Spanish) tells you a lot about the environs - frequently burned over by wildfires, this was directly in the line of the Woolsey Fire but much of the vegetation has re-grown. This […]
