Ugly Christmas Sweater online event
2020-12-25 07:00 - 15:00 | Online event
Since Paul has decided to take take a break from hiking during the latest Covid outbreak, it doesn’t mean that we can’t be together in spirit. Please post a picture of you sporting your most ugliest, or favorite Christmas sweater.
PIC MUST INCLUDE YOU WEARING IT.
I really wish we could all be together again hiking our favorite trails with our beloved leader Paul.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul and all the CDH members for the fond memories. We had some pretty cool and crazy adventures and who can forget those death-defying challenges on steep ridges.
A special thanks to Paul for all that you do for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time to plan each and every event so thoughtfully. I am grateful for being a part of our CDH family.
Happy holidays and have a healthy & prosperous New year.
Cecelia

🎄 Xmas Day Hike - Bell Canyon Loop (Gentiles welcome)
2020-12-25 10:00 - 12:00 | 24501 Woodglade Ln, 24501 Woodglade Ln, West Hills, CA, 91307, US
My Bell Canyon Loop starts and ends at the mouth of Bell Canyon. Its a little-known loop and I haven’t seen any other meetup group do it — so you are in luck today!
👉 Hike is about 4 miles with 900′ total ascent. Most of that is during a one-mile stretch, thus I am rating this hike as DIFFICULT due to terrain. See my hike rating guide here: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/
😷 PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHENEVER POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY AT TRAIL HEAD AND BREAK SPOTS. WEAR A MASK OR FACE COVERING WHENEVER SOCIAL DISTANCING IS IMPOSSIBLE OR IMPRACTICAL. IT IS MANDATORY THAT YOU BRING A FACE COVERING. BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.
DIRECTIONS:
Head toward the address given above but instead of turning on Woodglade Ln, just park on Highlander Rd. We meet near the corner of Highlander Rd and Woodlade Ln. by the ball field

Malibou Lake - Lost Cabin Site Lollipop
2020-12-26 09:00 - 13:00 | Malibou Lake, 29001 Crags Dr, Agoura, CA, 91301, United States

Details
Get ready for a hike in Malibu Creek State Park the other groups never do. Our old destination, the stone house, is gone but this moderately strenuous 7-miler is still a great diversion from the usual MCSP treks. We’ll start at the western end of Crags Rd near Malibou Lake and head on up to Lakeside Lateral and the Bulldog Mtwy via Maqueketa Terrace. We’ll loop the lateral and from there we descend down along the Bulldog Lateral. Bulldog is a fire road/powerline access road that descends crookedly along slopes thickly clothed in chaparral and will provide rewarding views of Goat Buttes.
Near the bottom we’ll come across a dry creek bed then take Crags Rd to the MASH site. After paying homage to Hawkeye, we’ll visit the Lost Cabin site. The trail to the site probably has the most beautiful surroundings in the park with the red sandstone Goat Buttes to the north and green, rugged mountains to the south. It is very secluded with few travelers.
HIKE IS ABOUT 7 MILES WITH ABOUT 1,300 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE
Directions:
We’ll meet on the corner of Crags Dr and Lookout Dr. Park on neighboring streets such as Lookout Dr, Seminole Dr or Olivera Dr. See map below. [Note: I haven’t been here since before the Woolsey fire and there might be some changes to parking since some of the homes were burnt]
NOTE: The Google Map link isn’t working correctly. But if you key in the address manually Google Map will take you to the correct location. In any case here are the written directions from the 101 and Kanan. If you know how to get to the Malibu Reagan Ranch or Paramount Ranch you are almost there.
From the 101 head south on Kanan Rd for about 1/3 mile and turn left on Cornell Way. Continue on Cornell Way for about 2.3 miles. After crossing Mulholland the name changes to Lake Vista Way; continue for 1.1 miles to Crags Dr. Turn left for 0.6 miles and find a place to park according the description above

Conejo Mountain for the 2.25 mph group
2020-12-26 14:00 - 17:30 | Powerline Trail, Newbury Park, CA, 91320, US
Just a heads up: Please and thank you for being considerate and cancelling with enough time to give someone on the waitlist a chance to hike! Otherwise, you may no longer be allowed to hike with me.
Masks are mandatory as we gather at the trailhead!
I am posting this because I cannot keep up with Kim! We will start in a slightly different spot than Kim, but end up at the same place, at the top of Conejo Mountain. Basically, this is my Powerline Hike with a detour to the top of the mountain.
We will start on the Powerline Trail until it reaches the much wider Edison Conejo Mountain Road, marked by sets of power line transmission towers. We will be hiking from tower to tower. After turning around at the end of the trail, we will detour on a little side trail to the top of Conejo Mountain before heading down again. The views are pretty amazing from the top of the mountain. Hopefully, we will see a nice sunset on the descent.
This trail is a bit on the long, steep side and the mountain can get quite brown and barren. But the rock formations are pretty cool, and get more interesting the higher you climb. On the way up, we should be able to catch some of the outstanding views, from Boney Mountain to the south to the Channel Islands and Oxnard Plain to the west and Thousand Oaks to the east.
If you want to bring snacks to share, please consider Covid and bring individually wrapped items, so people aren’t dipping into the same bags or containers.

Directions: From the 101, exit Borchard Rd. Stay on Borchard Road, up a hill and into Dos Vientos. After around 4 miles, right turn onto Via Ricardo (this is the first stop light in Dos Vientos). The trailhead will be on your right after about 0.6 mile. Park on either side of the street.

We will start out surrounded by wild lilacs and a stroll through Hidden Meadow. Soon we will be hiking among the fanciful sandstone formations, caves and arches of the Rabbit Ridge Trail. After a couple of miles we’ll ascend to Simi Peak where on a clear day you can see the Simi Valley, Conejo Valley, San Fernando Valley, Oxnard Plains, Pacific Ocean, and a few of the Channel Islands, and take our snack break. Then its onward to a loop around China Flats, an open area with clusters of oak trees and a vernal pond. China Flats was the filming area for Back to the Future’s 1885 Hill Valley. A combination of utility roads, maintained, unmaintained and disappearing trails will create a dual loop hike.
