  • Las Llajas – Suitable for beginners

    Las Llajas Canyon Trail trailhead 5715 Evening Sky Drive, Simi Valley, CA, Simi Valley, CA, US

    5 miles, 500' 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 […]

  • Hill Canyon to Lizard Rock, New Bridge, Hawk Canyon – 5.3 miles, 1200′

    Hill Canyon Trailhead Hill Canyon Rd, Camarillo, CA, US

    I'm not sure I'd call this a "Gentler" given 1,200' of elevation gain and loss, but at least the climb is right at the beginning, and it's all downhill or flat from there. You can see the trail route here. The hike starts at the parking area on Hill Canyon Road and climbs Canyon Overlook […]

  • Coyote Park – Intermediate

    COYOTE HILLS PARK 275 Valley Gate Rd, Simi Valley, CA, US

    Distance: 3.5 miles, Gain: 700', Intermediate. This was previously designated easy-intermediate, but some thought it should be labeled as intermediate because of the extended inclines. A strong and motivated beginner can do this hike. They would be challenged and slow during a few of these climbs. That's OK, because this is not a conditioning hike, […]
