SUMMARY:Meysan Lake via Whitney Portal [ADVANCED]
DESCRIPTION:***RSVPs will open APRIL 1\, 2024. Add yourself to the waitlist and I will manually add at that time.*** \nMeysan Lake Trail starting from Whitney Portal\nhttps://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/inyo/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=20804&actid=50 \nWARNING:\nThis is a CHALLENGING and STRENUOUS trail that is rocky and extremely steep. Ultralight backpacking strongly recommended. Please be trained\, in shape\, and acclimated to this high elevation before attending. Mosquitoes will likely be bad\, and it will be pretty exposed. In fact\, there is no tree cover at all at the campsite up at Meysan Lake. \nTrail Stats: \n\nMileage: 10-11 miles round trip\nStarting elevation: 8\,000 feet\nEnding elevation: 11\,600 feet\nElevation gain: 3\,600+ (there is a little bit of loss and gain at the end)\nWater source: Meysan Lake and potential for various streams crossing trail.\nBear Canisters: not required\, but recommended (https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd937100.pdf)\n\nItinerary: \n\nFriday\, June 28: camp at Whitney Portal campground or if you can’t get a site\, stay in Lone Pine or disperse camp in Alabama Hills.\nSaturday\, June 29: meet at Whitney Portal Store at 8am\, try to hit trail by 9am. Hike 5 to 5.5 miles over about 4\,000 feet of elevation gain to Meysan Lake. Set up camp and enjoy the views of Mt. Mallory and Mt. Irvine While you rest or explore around the lake.\nSunday\, June 30: pack up and hike down to the portal. Grab food or souvenirs at the Store if open. If not\, go get food down in Lone Pine.\n\nBe sure to bring:\n– Sun protection (clothing and sunscreen. If you have one of those reflective umbrellas i might recommend that too).\n– Microspikes: there may still be snow or ice on the trail (we can check on this when we get closer to the trip whether or not we will need these).\n– Extra stakes and rope for your tent. It will be mostly rocks at the campsite so it may be difficult to secure it. NO HAMMOCKS.\n– InReach or some other way finding device. Apparently the top of the trail gets confusing and it may be easy to get off track. Download trail ahead of time before the trip to track however you like to track.\n– A wag bag (rocky granite terrain may not allow for typical Leave No Trace waste burial). \nLinks to learn more about the trail:\nInyo National Forest Fact Sheet: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd530479.pdf\nAllTrails:\n[https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/meysan-trail?sh=fzrxlq ](Meysan Trail on AllTrails https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/meysan-trail?sh=fzrxlq) \nDISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip\, things can change\, reservations can get lost\, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing\, and most importantly\, let’s all have fun! This is a moderate to intermediate hike.

DESCRIPTION:This is a Beginner’s Backpacking trip.\nRSVP Opens: Saturday\, June 8\, 2024 8:00 AM\nSpace is very limited. \nAbout Me:\nI am not a professional guide or backpacking instructor.\nIn 2017 I asked a Facebook backpacking group in Virginia about learning how to backpack. Shortly after\, I met up with a stranger who showed me the ropes. I’ve been learning from those more experienced than I am\, and that’s still the way it is today. It’s finally time to return the favor!\nI joined San Diego Backpackers in 2020. I’ll be hosting a series of Backpacking 101 trips that progress in mileage. Other than that\, I specialize in leading out-of-state adventures and river trips. 🌼 \nPlease read the following in its entirety. \nSweetwater to Granite Springs in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park\nDifficulty: Moderate (Used often for beginning backpacking)\nTrail Description: Well maintained with a steady incline to camp\nLength: Approximately 8 miles total and 1\,100′ gain/loss\nCamp Description: Primitive sites with a pit toilet.\nWater: Seasonal spring with a pump\, recommended to carry all water.\nSunset: ~8:00PM\nHighs/Lows: 80s/50s \nPark requires fees. I will go ahead of time for recon\, park fee information (I believe it’s $5 per person)\, and information regarding the permits to use Granite Springs (first come\, first served).

Members of SDB have kindly offered to loan out some bits. There are also backpacking items available for rent at REI.\n🌼 Remember\, there may be no water available in camp. Please bring all of your water. This amount is totally dependent on you\, your physical fitness\, heat tolerance\, thirst levels\, perspiration levels\, desire for drinks in camp such as tea or breakfast coffee\, food prep needs\, etc. Please bring more than enough.\n🌼 Please bring adequate snacks and dinner. We’ll be breaking camp at 8:00AM\, please bring breakfast and snacks for the hike out.\n🌼 Option to host a Zoom Meeting prior to our trip to go over or review gear to be sure everyone is set. \nLastly\, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

SUMMARY:Hawk Canyon lollipop - Potluck hike
DESCRIPTION:4.2 miles\, 700′ gain\, easy-intermediate.\nEasier option: 2.7 miles\, 500′ gain\, fit beginner. \nThis is a pot-luck hike. We’ll be stopping at the 3/4 point by a picnic table\, so please bring food and drink to share\, and any utensils your items might require. You may wish to bring your own cup\, plate\, and utensils in case there aren’t any. \nWe have had occasions where there were no utensils\, so it might be wise to at least bring your own. \nWe start at Conejo Canyons Trail Head\, 2010 Conejo Center Dr\, Thousand Oaks\, CA 91320. \nWe’ll hike downhill from the trailhead for 0.6 miles. \nFor the regular route\, we’ll turn left and continue uphill for 0.6 miles on the Western Plateau trail and follow the fire road around to the right at the top\, then mostly flat for about a mile\, then dropping for another 1/2 mile. \nAt the bottom and when coming to a junction\, turn right onto Hawk Canyon. Our picnic spot is 1/4 mile up Hawk Canyon at the table under the trees. \nFor the easier option\, instead of turning left at the first junction\, we’ll turn right. After 0.6 miles\, the picnic area will be on the left. \nAfter the potluck\, we’ll continue up Hawk Canyon in our clockwise loop for 0.6 mile where the trail ends back at the Western Plateau trail. Take a left up the hill back to Conejo Center Dr. For those that came on the easier option\, it’s a return the way you came. \n** If you plan on leaving before the group\, please familiarize yourself with the planned route\, which can be accessed by clicking on the below link: \nThe Hike\nDistance: 4.2 miles / 2.7 miles\nGain: 700′ / 500′\nDistribution: Well distributed.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate / Fit Beginner\nShape: Lollipop.\nPace: 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road and single track.\nTrail Variations: Rolling stroll and ramp.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along street. \nWhat to bring\n1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nInsect repellent (optional). \nHosting\nRoute: The host knows the route.

SUMMARY:Angel Vista - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:3.0 miles\, 800′ gain\, easy-intermediate.\nThis 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. \nThat said\, there is no reason a fit beginner cannot complete this hike. If needed\, just stop and rest along the way\, even if it’s every 50 steps. This is not a conditioning hike\, it is a social hike\, and you really can’t get lost. \nThe only junction is 200 yards before the top\, where we’ll turn right to complete the climb. \nAt the top\, there is a picnic table and 360 degree incredible views that are especially wonderful at night. We’ll have a snack-share social event at the top for 30-60 minutes before heading back the way we came. Please bring some food and drink to share\, and utensils of your item requires it. \nThe top has been known to sometimes be very cool and windy. Please bring something to put on in case it is that way at the top. \nInteresting Notes \nTree Tobacco \nThe Cahuilla Indians used the leaves interchangeably with other tobacco species in hunting rituals and as a poultice to treat swellings\, bruises\, cuts\, wounds\, boils\, sores\, inflamed throat\, and swollen glands. It does not contain nicotine. \nIt contains anabasine\, a similar compound\, which is highly toxic to humans and animals. It is more toxic than nicotine. Ingestion of the leaves can be fatal. It is being investigated for use as a biofuel. All parts of this plant are toxic. Used as an insecticide. Do not smoke. \nElderberry \nThe blue or purple berries are gathered and made into elderberry wine\, jam\, syrup\, and pies. The entire flower cluster can be dipped in batter and fried while petals can be eaten raw or made into a fragrant and tasty tea. Spit out the seeds. Elderflower water is also used in perfumes and sweets. \nMost agree that they do need to be cooked if you are going to eat more than just a few out of hand. That’s because they have a small amount of cyanide producing glycosides\, which are released upon digestion. Fully ripe black berries are not toxic and you can eat as many as you like. Boiling or baking takes care of any “toxic” issue as does drying raw berries. \nDirections:\nRosewood Trailhead\n398 Regal Oak Ct.\nThousand Oaks\, CA 91320 \nFrom the 101\nVentu Park exit\, South (toward ocean).\nRight on Lynn Road for 1000′.\nLeft on Regal Oak Ct. for 1/3 mi.\nPark on the street \nHike Distance: 3.0 miles\nGain: 800′\nDistribution: Most of the incline occurs in the first half\, which is a continuous climb.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Out and back.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Double track\, single track.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along the street. \nWhat to bring\n1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nHiking shoes/boots. Not required\, but recommended.\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share \nFAQ\nHiking Plus Page Links\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:4th of July Celebration Potluck Hike - Los Padres
DESCRIPTION:3.25 miles out and back\, 600′ gain\, Easy Intermediate.\nMany people will be viewing the fireworks from this location\, and enjoying a picnic at the top. \nEasier Option (unhosted): 2.4mi\, 550′ gain. (link to map).\n497 Hillsborough St\, Thousand Oaks\, CA 91361 \nWe’ll start by entering the Los Padres trail\, through a spooky oak covered section\, then climb until we reach the fireroad at the 1/2 mile point. We’ll stop and regroup here. \nWe’ll turn right up the fireroad and climb for about a 1/2 mile to another junction\, where we’ll turn right onto the Los Robles trail. After 500 feet\, we’ll take a split off to the right and continue along the Vista Loop for another 1/2 mile until we come to a bench at the top. \nWe’ll have a potluck here and watch the fireworks.\nYou may wish to bring something to sit on\, such as a camp chair or a blanket. The bench and area around it will be used to place our potluck items. \nWe’ll follow the reverse route back to the cars sometime after the fireworks. It will be dark on the return trip\, so please bring a light. \nPlease bring something to eat and drink\, we’ll share snacks and drinks.\nIf your item requires it\, bring plates and utensils to share. \nIf you wish to leave early\, please study the map posted with description so you are able to navigate the return without the host. \nHike Distance: 3.25 miles\nGain: 600′\nDistribution: Most of the incline well distributed in the first half.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Out and Back\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire Road\, Single-Track\, and Double-Track.\nTrail Variations:\nSeveral extended inclines of 1000 steps.\nSeveral steep sections of 300 steps\, but no hands required.\nDuration: 3.0 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along street.\nWhat to bring: 1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nHiking shoes/boots\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share. \nHosting\nRoute: The host knows the route. A pic of the route LINK\nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed\nHike type: Social.\nWe won’t be hiking at a fast pace because this is a social hike\, not a conditioning hike. There is nothing wrong with stopping\, even if it means every 50 steps. \nStops:\nThe host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. We will stop at junctions to make sure everybody makes any turns or chooses the correct direction at splits\, else something will be used to mark the direction\, usually a large arrow made of baking soda. There may not always be a sweeper designated to be the last hiker. \nInteresting Notes\nYucca\nWhite flowers on stalk. Stalk is often missing\, leaving only the spires from which it grows. Stalks are very strong and light\, so they make good walking sticks. Needles on end of spires. Chopped up root can be uses as shampoo or soap. Roasted root can be eaten like a potato. Illegal to remove live stick in CA. \nPronounced with short u. Dried leaves make good tinder. To eat root\, remove skin and core\, boil 15 minutes. Then fry or bake. Flowers are mildly sweet. Adam says they taste like radishes. The fruit is also edible\, but bitter if not ripe. To access fibers: Soak for a month in water\, lightly pound leaves with rock or club\, or scrape off skin. Roll between hands\, then pull and separate fibers. Weave into cordage. \nWild Cucumber\nToxic. Boil fruit in water to make spikes easy to remove. Inside is a natural luffa. Tubars (thickened part of a stem\, usually underground\, like the potato) can be crushed and thrown into water to immobilize fish. \nAlmost the entire plant is poisonous. Although wild cucumbers are related to the familiar\, domestic vegetable\, the prickly “cucumbers” consist not of fleshy fruit\, but of two seed chambers containing lacy netting. \nDirections\nLos Padres Trailhead\n15 Los Padres Dr.\nThousand Oaks\, CA\, 91361 \nFrom I-101:\nWest of CA-23\, I-101\, exit S.

SUMMARY:Potrero – All paved – Easy Intermediate\, cooler location
DESCRIPTION:5.75 miles\, 700′ gain. Easy Intermediate.\nDo not park on Potrero else risk getting a ticket. You need a permit to park on this street. \nThis hike is a great trail when it might be muddy because almost the entire hike is on an asphalt path through a huge state park (> 20 sq miles). It’s also a good option when it’s very hot out\, because this is one of the cooler areas where we hike\, half shaded\, and most of the incline is on the return. \nSince the elevation gain is low and the route is paved\, we’ll be likely hiking a little faster than typical. It’s a little more than 8 miles to go all the way to the ocean. \nAt the 2.9 mile mark\, we’ll find a picnic table 350′ off to the right side\, where we’ll stop and have a social event for about an hour before heading back the way we came.

SUMMARY:Upper Sycamore Canyon Loop - A Gentler Hike
DESCRIPTION:This hike starts at the Rancho Sierra Vista parking lot\, goes down to the bridge on Sycamore Canyon asphalt\, but then turns up the canyon alongside Upper Sycamore Creek. Along the way\, we’ll be in the shade of Boney Mountain while we climb\, doing a handful of easy water crossings and finding a number of wildflowers along the way. We’ll get to the Old Boney Trail\, and climb back up and out\, taking a few detours along the way. \nOverall distance is 5 miles\, with an elevation loss and gain of about 800 feet. If you want a little more distance\, you’re welcome to take the short excursion to the waterfall\, but there’s more poison oak there. \nIf the weather forecast calls for temperatures in the 90s before 11 am\, this hike will be canceled. Please check Thursday morning before you drive over. \nI did this hike last weekend\, and didn’t see a ridiculous amount of poison oak – at least\, not that interfered with my hiking. I did see the beautiful cluster of Humboldt Lilies along the way\, but after a hot week\, I can’t guarantee we’ll see them again. \nIf another hike is posted for this date\, please sign up for only one. And if you can’t make it\, please change your RSVP to allow someone on the waitlist to take your place. \nPlease review our guidelines to participate in our hikes: \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re on the “Attending” list\nUnregistered or waitlisted will be turned away\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\nNo dogs allowed\, on leash\, in doggy backpacks\, etc.\nAnyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian\n\nDirections – DO NOT follow Google/Apple instructions!!\nTake 101 Freeway to Lynn Road. Go south 5.5 miles to the wood and stone archway for Rancho Sierra Vista\, and drive all the way in to the restrooms (the innermost parking lot). DO NOT follow Google or Apple instructions; they will lead you astray. \nEssentials\nPlease bring: at least one liter of water\, snacks\, an extra layer of clothing\, a charged cell phone\, identification\, and sunscreen and anything else you might need on the trail. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY\nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY\nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group.

SUMMARY:Dos Vientos - Easy Intermediate\, cooler location
DESCRIPTION:5.2 miles\, 1140′ gain\, easy-intermediate. \nWarning: Google Maps may take you to the incorrect location\, although the address is correct. Please follow the written directions. \nThe hike starts completely flat along a gravel track that moves around the Dos Vientos Community park. It then gently rises into the surrounding hills\, continuing onto the Powerline trail. \nThe first 1.75 miles has about 350′ of gain and another 150′ of gain on the return\, including an extended incline of about 450 steps. The extended incline is fire road\, so it isn’t especially steep. \nParts are ruggedly strewn with small rubble but there are still clear foot paths along the edge. It will get the heart pumping and beginners will probably curse this extended climb. At the height of this point\, there is a fantastic overlook. \nWe continue another 0.85 miles for another 450′ of gain and 190′ on the return. It continues to the next electrical tower where the trail splits. This leads to the 2\,200 feet high Conejo Mountain in Camarillo\, CA. \nAt the end of this segment\, we’ll stop to share snacks and beverages before returning back the way we came. \nYou will see several plants of note: \nPrickly Pear Cactus\nInside and fruit are edible. Remove needles and scrape to remove hairs\, cut top off\, hollow out to make water container. Burn off needles. Fruit peels easily. Eat seeds and all. Use duct tape to remove thorns from hands. \nLichen\nA composite organism arising from algae\, cyanobacteria\, or both\, and often fungi. They come in many colors. Not related to moss or any plant. They get all their food from photosynthesis\, air\, water\, and minerals in their environment. Most comes from air\, and therefore\, can be used to monitor air pollution. 6% of earth’s land surface is covered by lichens. This is the paint that gives the look of the rocks of Yosemite. 20\,000 known species. Self-contained ecosystems. Some of the oldest living things. Can survive unprotected in space\, surviving vacuum\, fluctuating temperatures\, and cosmic radiation. Used for making dyes\, sometimes by boiling in water. Some are edible\, some poisonous. \nDirections\nDos Vientos Community Park\n4801 Borchard Rd\nNewbury Park\, CA 91320\n34.175205\,-118.981760 \nFrom the 118:\nWest to CA-23.\nCA-23 south for 7.4 miles.\nUS-101 north for 4.1 miles.\nExit 47B Borchard Rd.\nBorchard Rd. south for 7 miles.\nDos Vientos park entrance on the right. \nFrom CA-23:\nCA-23 south to US-101.\nUS-101 north for 4.1 miles.\nExit 47B Borchard Rd.\nBorchard Rd. south for 7 miles.\nDos Vientos park entrance on the right. \nFrom US-101 (Camarillo/Ventura):\nUS-101 south.\nExit 47A Borchard Rd.\nBorchard Rd. south for 7 miles.\nDos Vientos park entrance on the right. \nThe Hike\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate\nDistance: 5.2 miles\nElevation Gain: 1140′\nDistribution: Most of the gain is on the way up.\nShape: Out and Back.\nPace: 2.0 mph\nTrail Variations: After 1.5 miles\, there will be several sections of 1000 steps or more that are continuous elevation gain.\nDuration: 3.5 hours.\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: Yes.\nDrinking Fountains: Yes.\nParking: Free in paved lot.\nTrail type: Single track and fire road.
