https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/happy-camp-loop Hello Fellow Hikers,Have a request for this area so gonna hit the Happy Camp Loop trail. This areas scenery is a little different which makes this hike more unique. Once we get more into the mountains the trail becomes less traveled with some areas taking on a look of desert then to open meadows […]
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/josephine-peak-via-colby-canyon-trail Hello Fellow Hikers,Okay this will be a distance hike so I will attach a meeting spot for those who would like to carpool or just follow each other to the trailhead.

3.0 miles, 800' gain, easy-intermediate. This hike is rated easy-intermediate because it is a continuous incline for 1.5 miles. This isn't real steep, but it is continuous, and many beginner hikers have indicated this should be rated intermediate (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781). That said, there is no reason a fit beginner cannot complete this hike. If needed, just […]
Get your Monday morning started with a brisk hike to Jones and Hastings peaks. The Numbers Distance: 8 mi Elevation gain: 3,000 ft. Rating 6/10, not for beginners Trail: Hiking trail with some calf-level brush on the way to Hastings. Parking: Lot and street. Keep the noise down so the neighbors don't create parking rules. […]
3.5 miles, 800' gain, Easy Intermediate. There are several extended inclines and a couple short but steep climbs. Fit beginners can do this hike, but they may be cursing some of the extended and steeper climbs. That's OK, because we'll be stopping at various points to regroup and this is not a conditioning hike. It […]

5 miles, 700' gain, Beginner. This hike is a great trail for beginners because all the elevation gain is distributed. It is a walk down a rolling fire road through a really cool canyon, and you will find no difficult or extended elevation climbs. This is one of my favorite trails for people new to […]
https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/rock-ridge-to-simi-peak--2 Hello Fellow Hikers,Another route up to Simi Peak. However this way has a lot more elevation due to it being a shorter route. As the main review states "Initial up and down hills lead to the climb to China Flats and a gentle ascent to Simi Peak. Stunning views of Conejo and Simi Valley" […]
