SUMMARY:Feel the Peace\, Love\, and Joy ~ Intermediate Hike from Wendy Trailhead
DESCRIPTION:Both Steve and I will lead hikes this Thursday. Please ONLY register for ONE hike so there is room for others to join. \nLet’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 Wendy trailhead\, then climbs up Boney Mountain Trail for some fantastic views north to Port Hueneme and Oxnard and west toward the Pacific Ocean. If it’s a clear day we’ll easily be able to see Santa Cruz Island as well as the Los Padres Mountain range. If it’s really clear\, we’ll catch a glimpse of Mount Baldy in the distance to our east. \nAt the upper end we’ll visit the remnants of an old cabin and the Danielson Monument. The monument is dedicated to Richard Danielson\, the person who donated much of the land for the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area (SMNMRA). The hike will start in SMNMRA and pass into Point Mugu State Park. It’s mostly single track and fire road. \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/4/0/event_98343392.jpeg \nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/f/7/a/event_98343962.jpeg \nThis out and back hike is about 6 miles with about 1200 feet of elevation gain. \nPlease review the guidelines to participate in our morning hikes. Just in case\, here are some highlights and a link to the guidelines:\nhttps://www.meetup.com/The-Weekday-Trailblazers/about/\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours:\nDon’t show up unless you’re on the “Attending” list\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\nPlan on completing the entire hike at a brisk pace or please find an alternative hike that better suits your hiking level. \nFurther\, dogs are not invited.

SUMMARY:Powerline Trail to Conejo Peak - Gentler Friendly
DESCRIPTION:THIS Thursday’s forecast is for mostly sunny weather with a high of 74° – Yay! \nBoth Laurie and I will post hikes – please only register for one (this leaves room for others to join). \nFor our Thursday Gentler hike\, we will hike the Powerline Trail to Conejo Peak\, including a brief stop at the “teardrop” loop below the final (and skippable) climb to the peak. Great views of the Pacific\, Channel Islands\, Oxnard Plain\, Conejo Valley\, and (if clear) snow-covered Mt. Baldy and peaks east and north. \nThis area was completely burned over by the 2013 Springs Fire\, and the peak area saw a small wildfire in the last two years\, but has recovered well. The Edison road is rocky\, and has washouts from the recent rains. There is one short but steep section of the Edison road just before the teardrop loop and our rendezvous point. \nIf you climb to the peak (optional)\, this hike is 5.2 miles\, with an elevation gain of 1\,350 feet. Trekking poles are recommended\, as our descent will be fairly steep over loose gravel. \nIf you elect to skip the peak\, the hike is just over 4 miles\, with an elevation gain of 850 feet. Our rendezvous point has seen some activity recently\, and some construction material is on the ground nearby. \nWe’ll start at the Via Ricardo trailhead in Dos Vientos\, walk over the hill above the Camarillo quarry (watch for the “Unstable Ground – Gravitational Anomalies” sign)\, and then up the Powerline Trail. We’ll zig-zag up to the “teardrop”\, and split the group. Those who want to continue the climb will do so like the mountain goats we are\, and then traverse the rocky meadow at the top to the peak\, where we will gather around the (now missing) flagpole for a photo\, and inspect the set of new lead-acid batteries someone has deposited there. We’ll carefully descend through the rocky cleft back to the Powerline Trail where we’ll rejoin our compatriots\, and descend to the cars. \nDirections \nGoogle and Apple Maps direction are reliable. \nFrom the east\, exit 101 at Borchard\, and drive southwest 3.4 miles to Via Ricardo\, the first right-hand turn after the hilly pass from Newbury Park into Dos Vientos. Turn right on Via Ricardo\, and drive a half mile to the trailhead. Park on the street. \nFrom the west\, exit 101 at Wendy\, and drive south 0.9 miles to Borchard. Turn right onto Borchard\, and drive 2.2 miles to Via Ricardo\, then follow directions\, above. \nFrom Port Hueneme\, Point Mugu\, and Oxnard\, drive up Potrero Road\, which turns into Lynn at the top of the canyon. Turn left onto Via Las Brisas\, then drive north for 1.4 miles. Turn right onto Borchard\, then immediately left onto Via Ricardo\, then follow instructions above. \nBoots on at 8:45\, ready to hike for a 9:00 a.m. departure! \nPlease do not leave anything of value in your car\, at this or any other trailhead. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY\nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group.

SUMMARY:Kanan Dume to Castro Peak OAB (Fast Paced)
DESCRIPTION:AUGUST 2022 UPDATE: Please review the revised guidelines to participate in our hikes. Here are some highlights and a link to the guidelines: \nhttps://www.meetup.com/The-Weekday-Trailblazers/about/ \nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours:\n*Proof of vaccination required \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re on the “Attending” list\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\n\nOur Out and Back hike will take us on a less-traveled but quite beautiful part of the 60-mile Backbone Trail\, which runs through the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area from Will Rogers State Park in the east to Point Mugu in the west. \nThe route begins at Kanan Dume Road and goes southerly a short distance\, allowing us to cross over the southernmost tunnel (Tunnel 1) above Kanan Dume Road. We then proceed easterly roughly 4 miles and up 1250 feet\, gradually winding our way up and through Latigo Canyon\, crossing Latigo Canyon Road\, and then ending at a saddle or on a bluff immediately south of Castro Peak with spectacular Pacific views. \nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/8/0/6/event_101654342.jpeg \nThe terrain is a mix of single and double-file trail. The majority of our out and back hike is wooded and shaded canyon trails\, offering periodic glimpses of the Pacific\, but the route eventually gives way to open hillsides and ridgelines\, and an open area over the Pacific. \nThe total distance for this hike will be approximately 7 miles with 1550 feet of elevation gain. \nNo dogs allowed on the hike. \nDirections: \nFrom the 101 – exit at the Kanan Road exit and drive south (toward the ocean) 7.8 miles\, going through two of the three tunnels on this road (which changes name to Kanan Dume Road). Turn right into the “Backbone Trail” parking area\, just before entering the third tunnel. \nFrom PCH – turn up South Kanan Dume Road. Drive 4.4 miles from PCH\, going through one tunnel\, and then turn left into the “Backbone Trail” parking area\, almost immediately after coming out of the tunnel. Free parking is available at the trailhead. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group.

SUMMARY:Fall In To the Gap - Latigo to Corral Canyon ~ Intermediate Hike
DESCRIPTION:Today we’ll hike the Backbone Trail looking for wildflowers. We’ll begin at Latigo Canyon and walk on dirt and stuff until we reach the familiar sandstone structures of Mesa Peak Motorway. Along the way\, we’ll cross Castro Crest and descend into Upper Solstice Canyon before we climb to Mesa Peak Motorway\, at the top of Corral Canyon. \nWe’re starting high\, dipping down\, then rising again from Latigo to Castro Crest for broad views of mountains and canyons. The descent from Castro Crest is the standard chaparral-blanketed fare we’re accustomed to in this area. Once on the floor of Upper Solstice\, we’ll “ford” seasonal streams and check for the charred remnants of the previous cover. The climb up to Mesa Peak Motorway becomes increasingly rocky\, leveling off for an amble over to the sandstone giants and ocean views we all love. (Poles may prove to be useful.) \nWe will return the way we came. \nTotal distance is 8.4 miles\, with 1650’ of elevation gain. \nPlease review the guidelines to participate in our hikes. Here are some highlights.\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours:\nProof of vaccination required (if you haven’t shown it).\nDon’t show up unless you’re on the “Attending” list.\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike.\nPlan on sticking with the group\, and completing the entire hike at a reasonable pace or please find an alternative hike that better suits your hiking level.\nNo dogs please.\nBring ample hydration. \nDirections: \nFrom the 101\, take Kanan Dune Road south for 6.8 miles. Turn left\, heading east on Latigo Canyon Road\, and drive three miles to the unmarked dirt lot on the left. Use your odometer to gauge the distance. \nFrom PCH\, drive 7.3 miles inland on Latigo Canyon Road. After passing Upper Ramirez Motorway\, turn right into the dirt pullout at the trailhead. The parking area is unmarked\, so watch your odometer. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike hosts are volunteers 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:Santa Rosa Trail Loop through Box Canyon (Fast Paced)
DESCRIPTION:Hoping we can squeak this in before the rain. Please check around 4 p.m. to see if the hike is still on as rain will cancel the hike. \nPlease read these restrictions before signing up. \nPandemic conditions and restrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nDon’t sign up unless you are two weeks past your 2nd vaccination\nDon’t show up unless you’re shown on the “Attending” list\nUnregistered or waitlisted will be turned away\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\nYou will be asked to show your vax card (a photo on your phone is fine) if you are not already on the vax list. No card: No hike.\n\nTime to check out the Santa Rosa Trail to view some cool properties including the train collector yard accessible through Wildwood Park in Thousand Oaks. Wildwood is one of the most versatile local parks there is\, with 27 miles of trails skittering through rocky cliffs\, cacti-filled desert environs\, volcanic rock\, riparian forest\, and a cool\, watery canyon. Wildwood’s archetypal western look served as the set for The Rifleman\, Gunsmoke\, and Wagon Train back in the day\, as well as the movie Spartacus. This hike takes us up the Santa Rosa Trail to Mount Clef Ridge\, providing sweeping views of the park\, the Santa Rosa Valley. \nhttp://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/1/5/2/600_318817202.jpeg \nDescending into the valley\, we’ll pass the famed train yard\, as well as other quirky estates. \nhttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/d/e/c/600_99896812.jpeg \nWe will take the Box Canyon Trail and the Mesa Trail back and if there’s time hit Lizard rock before heading back to the parking lot. Our route will be approximately 6 1/2 miles and 1000 +’ of elevation gain. Much of the hike is exposed- dress appropriately\, and make sure you have water or beverage of choice. Bring your cellphone\, a headlamp or flash light\, any medications you may need\, and a rainjacket if the weather looks iffy. \nhttp://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/a/0/600_451023232.jpeg \nhttp://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/4/1/600_451023393.jpeg \nDirections: \nFrom the 101 in Thousand Oaks\, turn north on Lynn Road and continue 2.6 miles to Avenida De Los Arboles\, then turn left. Continue for about a mile to the end and turn into the Wildwood parking lot on the left. \nFrom the 118\, travel west to the 23\, exit at Avenida De Los Arboles and turn right. Drive further than you remember having to drive to this trailhead (10 or 15 minutes). Turn left into the parking lot when the road ends. \nWatch for cross traffic coming from the right when you turn into the parking lot- they don’t have to stop. Parking is ample and free. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group.

SUMMARY:8.5 miles ~ Los Robles Trail to Angel Vista ~ Intermediate Hike
DESCRIPTION:http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/f/8/6/event_22189030.jpeg \nSpace Mountain is the name for Los Robles Trail West\, starting at Moorpark Road in Thousand Oaks and switchbacking up the hill to the west. No one seems to know why it’s called Space Mountain\, though maybe the Disney ride inspired it. Maybe former major league pitcher Bill “Spaceman” Lee had something to do with it. Maybe it’s the final frontier. Come out and throw your equally ludicrous guess into the ring. \nWe’ll hike up to Angel Vista for the views and a short break before turning around to hike back down to our starting point. \nWe will hike about 8.5 miles total with about 1350’ of gain. \nUPDATE: Please review the revised guidelines to participate in our hikes. We are requiring proof of vaccination to join a hike.

We will meet in the parking lot at the corner of Moorpark and Greenmeadow. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group.

SUMMARY:Beginner Hike: Rancho Sierra Vista Trefoil - 5 miles\, 650' - Weather Permitting
DESCRIPTION:This is a Beginner hike – that means no steep climbs\, no loose soil or slippery rocks on trails\, limited distance\, and limited elevation gain. If you regularly do our faster/longer/higher Intermediate hikes\, you might want to consider leaving room for newcomers to the group. \nRain is forecast for Thursday; 80% chance before 10 a.m. If it’s raining at my (nearby) home\, or at the trailhead\, the hike will be cancelled. \n—————————————-\nFrom the National Park website:\nTwo threads of local history intertwine to establish the identity of Rancho Sierra Vista/ Satwiwa. Ranch structures and introduced grasses represent over a century of ranching\, while native plants reflect an environment that Chumash Indians lived in for thousands of years. \nThe gentle slopes yield trails that picnickers\, hikers\, bikers\, and equestrians enjoy during every season. Big Sycamore Canyon Trail descends from Satwiwa to the Pacific Ocean along a historic Chumash trade route. \nThe Satwiwa Loop Trail is designated for hikers only\, and meanders through an area considered sacred by the Chumash. Keep an eye out for deer and coyote in the coastal sage scrub\, hawks and falcons soaring overhead\, and sweeping views of Boney Mountain and Sycamore Canyon. Follow all trail guidelines by only biking or horseback riding on designated trails. \nThe May 2013 Springs Fire burned much of Point Mugu State Park and portions of Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa. Whether recreating on foot\, bike or horseback\, be on the lookout for signs of plants\, soil\, and animals recovering from the effects of this wildfire.\n—————————————-\nWe will park at the paved main lot for Rancho Sierra Vista. Exit 101 at Lynn Road\, drive southwest 5.5 miles and turn left under the stone and timber archway. Drive in all the way\, past two smaller lots\, to the lot nearest the vault toilets and EV chargers. Google Maps does not provide accurate directions. \nThe hike will be a series of low ups & downs. The most significant climb will be mid-hike\, followed by more gentle changes. \nPlease review the revised guidelines to participate in our hikes. We are requiring proof of vaccination to join a hike. \nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nProof of vaccination required\nDon’t show up unless you’re on the “Attending” list\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\nNo dogs on this or any other Weekday Trailblazers hikes\nAll participants must be 18 or older\, or accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\n\nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \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 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. You agree that you can navigate back to your transportation by yourself\, and agree to do so if you fall behind and lose track of the main body of hikers.
