SUMMARY:Free Webinars on Hiking Safety and Tech
DESCRIPTION:Register through Evenbrite link \nJoin experts from Montrose Search & Rescue (SAR) and Sierra Club’s Wilderness Travel Course (WTC) for a discussion on hiking safety tips that can help hikers stay safe whether traveling alone or in a group. Montrose SAR will share real-life examples of recent rescues and provide insight on what could be done to avoid or address those situations in real time. WTC will provide useful tips on what hikers can do to stay safe while hiking our local mountains both on and off the trail. \nPresented by: \n\nDoug Cramoline\, Montrose Search & Rescue Team Leader\nSteve Goldsworthy\, L.A. County Sheriff’s Department SAR Technology Director\nLisa Miyake\, Wilderness Travel Course Instructor\n\nAbout Montrose Search & Rescue:\nMontrose SAR was started in 1947 by a group of Civilian Air Defense members who wanted to help those in their community that became lost or injured in the local mountains. Averaging between 130-160 calls per year\, Montrose SAR is one of the busiest teams in Los Angeles County. \nAbout Wilderness Travel Course:\nFor over 30 years\, Wilderness Travel Course has helped build outdoor skills for hundreds of hikers each year. The ten-week course is only offered in the winter and includes classroom and field instruction on map and compass navigation\, snow travel\, rock scrambling\, nutrition\, and lots more. Registration for the January 2023 class is now open at https://wildernesstravelcourse.org/. \nYou may also be interested in:\nNov. 1: Hiking Safety and Technology

DESCRIPTION:https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/san-vicente-mountain-old-nike-missile-site-trail–3/photos \nHello Fellow Hikers\,\nWe are gonna be visiting LA96C Nike Missile Site to start our trail. Then will continue on Sullivan fire road down the mountain. Now for a little piece of history about our hike….\nDuring the Cold War this was a military reservation. LA96C was one of 16 Nike missile sites that protected Los Angeles from a feared attack by Soviet bombers. It was an active battery from 1956-1968 with radar searching the sky for enemy airplanes. New military technology made the Nike missiles obsolete\, and the site has been made into a park. Nature is reclaiming the military ruins.

It’s the scariest hike this side of Transylvania! \nThe decorations are a little worn and I don’t know if the solar lights are still working\, but it will be a fun hike. There is a nice spot where we can share some drinks and small bites — so bring the “good stuff” \nAnd remember NO WHITE LIGHTS – red or green only. There is still time to order one of these headlamps – one uses batteries\, the other is rechargeable. Both are red/green/white. \n\n\n\n\n23% savings\n\nEverBrite Headlamp - 300 Lumens Headlight with Red...$17.99 $13.91\n      View on Amazon\n\n\n13% savings\n\nEverBrite Rechargeable Headlamp - 350 Lumens Headl...$15.98 $13.90\n      View on Amazon\n\n\nCostumes are optional: https://amzn.to/2n5iZyX \nHere are some photos from last year: \nhttps://hwdmedia.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/03115251/Halloween.mp4\n  \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 5 MILES WITH ABOUT 1000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM DUE.

SUMMARY:Devils Chair Trail
DESCRIPTION:https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/devils-chair-trail \nHello Fellow Hikers\,\nIt’s Halloween! What better hike to do then Devils Chair?! This trail is a fan favorite among hikers but unfortunately was devastated in the Bobcat fire and closed for a few years. It has finally reopened and what better day to hike it. Now a little about the trail….When you arrive at the fenced “Devil’s Chair”\, you will walk out onto a peninsula of white crushed rock with a 250-foot drop-off. Look straight down from the chair and you will see a line which stretches up a ridge to your left. The pinkish Punchbowl sandstone curves up and ends at this line. The San Gabriel Mountains are being thrusted up behind you and the Punchbowl rocks are being dragged up with the mountains. As you look across the canyon below\, you will see the Pinyon Fault\, Pinyon Ridge and the San Andreas Fault. The notch in Pinyon Ridge is formed by Big Rock Creek. The Punchbowl Fault is one of the most studied faults in the world because it has so much surface exposure. Most faults are covered with sediment and can’t be seen. Carpooling at our same meetup spot will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool or follow to the trailhead (Best donuts located 2325 Kuehner Dr # 127 Simi Valley off the 118 freeway at 7:30am) I have attached the AllTrails link for directions\, stats and photos…https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/devils-chair-trail \nTrail out and back\nMiles 6.9\nElevation Gain 1368 ft\nRated hard (but really more on the moderate hard side)\nParking free dirt lot\nDogs allowed \nAs of now there is no sweeper for this hike so please know if you feel you can not finish for any reason please turn back early. \nPlease check back on hike info as rain\, heat advisory\, strong winds or low attendance may cause the hike to be rescheduled (this area is known for extreme weather both heat and snow which causes seasonal road closures) \nWe will always follow Jim’s Golden Rules: \n\nHike your own hike\nPlease stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up\n\nPlease remember to bring all essentials you’ll need for a hike \nLiability Disclaimer: \nAnd last….The Organizer\, Co Organizer\, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides.

SUMMARY:Long Canyon - Hidden Lollipop - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:Intermediate\, 5 mi\, 1200′ gain\nThe address is a nearby address that may cause your GPS to drive past the trailhead. It is not the address of the hike. \nThis variation is called Hidden Lollipop. Hidden because it includes a hike down the Hidden Canyon trail\, Lollipop because of the shape of the route. \nThere are two extended inclines on this hike. Fit beginners can do this hike\, but they may be cursing some of the extended climbs. \nFrom the Long Canyon trailhead parking lot\, we head up Long Canyon Trail to a bench. We’ll regroup\, then head down about 1000′ to the 5-points junction. We’ll make the second right and head up a 500′ incline. We’ll regroup\, then go down the Hidden Canyon Trail\, which becomes the Meadow Vista Trail. \nWe reach a junction at the Albertson Motorway\, turn right\, and follow it as it becomes the Albertson Fire Road. When we hit the fork\, we’ll stop and have a snack share social event for 30-60 minutes. \nWe’ll then make a right\, heading up the Lang Ranch Ridge Trail until returning to the 5-points junction\, left for 500 steps to the bench\, and then right to head back to the parking lot. \nInteresting Notes\nThese are plants you will probably see on the hike: \nTurkey Mullein\nSmashed leaves can be thrown into the water to stupefy fish\, causing them to float to the surface\, a practice illegal in most states. The seeds are not toxic to birds and are enjoyed especially by doves and wild turkeys. \nAncient Greeks rolled and dried the leaves\, then used them as wicks for oil lamps. It stalks were used as torches burned at funerals. Many tribes employed the use of mullein leaf tea for coughs\, colds\, and rheumatism. They considered it to be analgesic\, anti-inflammatory\, antispasmodic\, and expectorant. The astringent and demulcent properties of the leaf tea were found useful in cases of diarrhea. \nWild Oats\nThe mature seed of the plant is used as a cereal grain. All oats have edible seeds\, although they are small and hard to harvest in most species. Oats are hard to tell apart from weedy relatives\, so the term “sowing wild oats” came to be used to describe unprofitable activities and destructive sexual liaisons of an unmarried young male that could result in children being born out of wedlock. \nHike\nDistance: 5 miles\nGain: 1200\nDistribution: Two extended inclines and a couple shorter but steeper inclines.\nDifficulty: Intermediate.\nShape: Lollipop\, clockwise.\nPace: 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road\, single and double track. Areas of sand\, gravel\, and rock\, some of it rugged.\nTrail Variations:\nThere are a couple extended inclines of 1000 steps or more as the route progresses.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free in the paved parking area in front of the trail head. \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. \nHosting\nRoute: The host knows the route.\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. \nThis description includes a picture of the route. Those that wish to return immediately instead of hanging around during the snack and beverage share\, should memorize the route so they can safely return on their own. \nStops\nThe host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. This hike will include an extended stop for a snack and beverage share at the half way point. \nWe 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 sticks. There may not always be a sweeper designated to be the last hiker. \nEach hiker is responsible for knowing their capability\, only attending events where they are able to sustain the described pace\, for keeping up with the group sufficiently enough to make the turns and not get left behind\, and for making sure the host is notified if they are going to split from the group. \nGroup separation\nThose moving significantly ahead or not waiting at designated stopping points are on their own regarding route and navigation. It is advisable not to follow\, as a different route might be taken. \nSafety\nSince it’s common to not have a cell phone signal\, the host and at least 1 other person will be carrying a GMRS two-way radio. You can purchase one for about $25 and bring it if you want added safety. Message the host for the channel and privacy code. \nDirections\nWhere Long Canyon Rd. and S. Wood Ranch Pkwy. intersect in Simi Valley. There is a free paved parking lot at the trailhead on the southwest corner. \nFrom CA-23 and I-101:\nNorth CA-23\, exit Olsen Rd.\nRight (east) on Olsen Rd.\, which becomes Madera Rd.\, for 2 miles.\nRight (south) on N. Wood Ranch Pkwy.\, which becomes S. Wood Ranch Pkwy.\, for 2 miles.\nRight at dead end (intersection with Long Canyon Rd.) and immediate left into parking lot.\nTrailhead at the opposite corner. \nFrom CA-118 and CA-27:\nWest CA-118\, exit 23 onto 1st St.\nLeft (south) on 1st St.\, which becomes Long Canyon Rd.\, for 5 miles.\nCross at dead end (intersection with S. Wood Ranch Pkwy.) and immediate left into parking lot.\nTrailhead at the opposite corner. \nCoordinates of trailhead: 34.228330\, -118.803130\nAddress of a nearby house: 572 Bannister Way\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065. \nArrive early\, because sometimes the parking lot gets full. If this happens\, you may need another 15 minutes to carpool from a nearby parking lot. \nFAQ\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

Since this is shorter\, the plan is to take our time and explore. \nYou don’t have to register on the LetsGoOutside site\, but here is the link for more info: https://letsgooutside.org/activities/2022/11/05/wilderness-access-day-black-star-canyon-50/ \nBlack Star Canyon\, part of OCParks’ Irvine Ranch Open Space\, offers pleasant introductory trails for beginner hikers and families as well as challenging experiences for seasoned trail users. Designated trails are available for self-guided hiking\, biking and equestrian use. A variety of trail loops offer extended exploration throughout the canyons. Take time to explore the local plant communities and beautiful scenery in easy 30-minute walks or take in 7+ miles in a strong cardio trek. \nPre-registration is not required for this event\, though it is available on the website. If you need driving directions\, use the online registration to receive a map and instructions for getting to the Baker Canyon Staging Area. Parking is limited on Black Star Canyon Road and carpooling is strongly recommended. You will not be required to sign-in upon arrival\, though an information booth with trail maps and suggested routes will be available in the staging area. \nPlease note that you are asked to adhere to the following measures during the activity in order to participate: \n\nArrive with all necessary equipment to keep you safe on the trail\, including water\, proper attire\, and footwear\, first aid\, medications\, etc.\nRestrooms will be available\, but facilities will not be sanitized for each individual.\nYou may be prevented from participating if you do not adhere to the above protocols.\n\nAdditionally\, in an effort to respect and protect all employees\, volunteers\, and participants\, please do not sign up or attend if you are not feeling well\, exhibiting any symptoms of illness or have been in recent contact with someone who was ill.\nParticipants are required to stay on designated trails at all times. In addition to being a rare and sensitive habit\, the Irvine Ranch Open Space is under strict protection. There are often unseen dangers just off-trail including\, but not limited to: mountain lions\, poison oak\, ticks\, poisonous spiders\, and venomous snakes. OC Parks Rangers may issue citations for visitors found off-trail so for your safety\, please stay on the designated paths during your stay in Black Star Canyon. To learn more about the staging areas and activity locations\, please visit our Staging Areas Playlist page.\nOther Important Notes: \n\nOC Park Rangers require all trails to be cleared for closure by 2:00pm.\nNo new trail users will be permitted onto the trails at least one hour prior to closing.\nDogs are prohibited on the Irvine Ranch Open Space. No matter how cute yours may be\, by nature\, dogs are predators; their presence and their lingering scent disturb the indigenous wildlife and disrupt vital routines long after a dog has left the area.\nMinors\, ages 18 and under\, should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.\nAdult mountain bikers and equestrians are requested to wear helmets. Minors are required to wear helmets per state law.\nIf you are an equestrian\, there is a separate registration designated for you found at www.LetsGoOutside.org/activities and click under “Wilderness Access Day – Equestrians.” Once registered\, please email info@irconservancy.org at least 72 hours prior to the event so that we may verify whether your trailer can be accommodated in our parking configuration. Trailer parking is very limited and is subject to “first come\, first served.”\nInclement weather or fire danger will cause the program to be cancelled.

SUMMARY:Angel Vista - Full moon potluck hike - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:3.0 miles\, 800′ gain\, easy-intermediate. \nLet’s enjoy the gorgeous sunset and the biggest full moon of the year\, Harvest moon\, at the beautiful Angel Vista! \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.

SUMMARY:Stage Coach - Andora Trailhead - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:3.5 miles\, 800′ gain\, easy intermediate\nNote that we start from the Andora trailhead. \nThis hike will include an extended stay at the top\, where we’ll have a snack share social event for 30-60 minutes. \nNearly the entire trail is an incline. Fit beginners can complete this hike\, but it will certainly get their blood pumping. \nThere are no super steep sections\, but much of the trail is rugged\, much like a stair climb. This is not a conditioning hike\, it’s a social hike. We’ll be stopping at various points to let people catch up and to make sure they make any turns. \nThe hike covers a portion of an old stagecoach road that linked LA with San Francisco in the 1860s. You can see holes that\, according to others\, were drilled into the rock for chains to help the stagecoaches up the steeper sections\, during which passengers had to get out of the vehicle. \nWe will begin near the intersection of Andora and Valley Circle. We’ll proceed up a rocky trail past a plaque erected in 1939 to commemorate the old stagecoach route\, then we’ll proceed to the top of the pass for a great view overlooking the valley. \nThere are a variety of ways of getting to the same place and there are many different ways of returning. Please follow the host to take the chosen route. The return route may be slightly different than the way up through a parallel path. \nThe Hike\nDistance: 3.5 miles\nGain: 800′\nDistribution: Most of the incline is in the first half.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Out and Back.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road\, double track\, single track.\nTrail Variations: Some parts of the trail is very rugged over large stones.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: Yes.\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Park in 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. \nHosting\nRoute: The host has plotted this route but never taken it.\nNavigation: GPS navigation as needed. Several of our members are familiar with the route from this trailhead. \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. This hike will include a stop for a snack and beverage share at the half way point. We’ll 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 marking made of baking soda\, or some sticks on the trail forming an arrow. There may not always be a sweeper designated to be the last hiker. \nEach hiker is responsible for knowing their capability\, only attending events where they are able to sustain the described pace\, for keeping up with the group sufficiently enough to make the turns and not get left behind\, and for making sure the host is notified if they are going to split from the group. \nGroup separation:\nSometimes hikers wish to move significantly ahead and not wait at designated stopping points. Please let the host know. They are on their own regarding route and navigation. \nDirections\nStage Coach Trail\, Andora trailhead\n9861 Andora Ave.\nChatsworth\, CA 91311\n34.249626\, -118.619625 \nFrom CA-118\nTopanga Canyon (CA-27) south\, 1.4 mi\nRight (west) on Devonshire St for .4 mi\nLeft (southwest) on Valley Circle for .6 mi\nRight (west) on Lassen for 43 ft.\nLeft (southwest) on Andora for 157 ft. \nFAQ\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:Limekiln Canyon Lollipop - Suitable for beginners
DESCRIPTION:4 mi\, 500′ gain\, beginner\nEasier option: 1.5 mi\, 125′ gain\, beginner. \nThis is a beginner hike on the beautiful Limekiln trail. \nThis hike is a slight lollipop\, (the shape of the route). There are no extended inclines\, however there are about 5 bumps in the trail with 25-40′ gains\, about 35-65 steps each. This is something a beginner would be able to handle\, but these bumps will get the blood pumping\, as they are like climbing up to 4 flights of stairs. There is nothing wrong with pausing for a breather while tackling these bumps in the trail. \nThe trail varies between asphalt\, gravel fire road\, single tracker\, tree covered\, hilly\, roadside\, wooded\, open air\, and strolls through the park. \nWe’ll enter Limekiln Canyon\, where we’ll first encounter a heavily wooded park with large pine trees lining the trail and blocking out the sun. After about 0.2 miles\, there will be a split. We can go either way because they rejoin after about 100 yards\, but for this route\, we’ll go left. \nAfter another half mile\, the route makes a turn to the right. Those that want the super-easy route should continue straight for 100 yards to a log\, where they can wait about 45 min for the rest of us to return for the social event. \nThe rest of the group will follow the trail to the right and continue for about 1.2 miles. We’ll reach Sesnon Blvd.\, travel about 20 yards west\, and head back in on a different trail. \nAfter several hundred yards\, we’ll reconnect with the original trail for the return. \nJust before we complete the last 3/4 mile\, we’ll turn right instead of left. After about 100 yards\, we’ll find a great spot with a giant fallen tree trunk to have a social event snack and beverage share. \nAfter about 30-60 minutes\, we’ll continue the last 3/4 mile back to our cars. Those that don’t want to stick around are welcome to head back to their cars by any route they choose\, but I’ll take a few splits to the left and cover some different trails\, each that returns back to the original trail after several hundred yards. \nThere will be a couple creek crossings on the return\, where one will use a few stepping stones to avoid getting wet. In general\, it won’t matter if you choose incorrectly from this point because all the splits end up going the same way. Click HERE for route. \nInteresting Notes: \nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nCalifornia Buckwheat \nWhen the white flowers turn a rusty brown\, they can be crushed into a powder\, mixed with water\, and baked into bread. The black seeds in the flower heads are also edible. Don’t touch the white flowers if bees are around because they won’t like it and may attack. A cold tea made from the leaves has been used to treat stomachaches and headaches. A warm tea made from the roots has been used to treat colds. The stems are stiff and flexible\, so they have been used by Indians as piercing utensils. \nLaurel Sumac \nRed stems and outline along leaves. The dried flower bunches look like small trees\, and are used by model railroad builders as such\, after being dyed green. Laurel sumac is sensitive to cold and does not tolerate freezing conditions. Orange growers in the early history of southern California used to pick places to plant their oranges based on where laurel sumac was growing because this indicated it would not get too cold for oranges if laurel sumac could grow there. For some\, the sap will irritate their skin just like poison oak\, causing blisters. Also called “Taco Plant”. \nDirections:\nLimekiln Canyon Trail\nPorter Ranch\, CA 91326 \nFrom the 118\nExit Tampa Ave (3 miles east of the Topanga Canyon exit) and head north for 1000′.\nLeft (west) on Rinaldi St. for 1000′.\nTrailhead on the right (north).\nPark on either side of the street. \nThe Hike\nDistance: 4 miles\nElevation Gain: 500′\nDifficulty: Easy\nPace: 2.5 mph\nDogs: Yes\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No\nParking: Free on either side of the street in front of the trail head.\nTrail: Varied. Good condition. \nWhat to Bring: \nSnacks and/or beverages to share\n1-2 liters of water.\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp. \nFAQ\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:VIP Hike - The Forgotten Trails Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Scroll Down to RSVP” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffffff” custom_text=”#1c9ec5″ shape=”square” link=”url:%23rsvp”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nDetails\nI call this one “The Lost Trails of Los Liones”\nOne day in 2013\, while bushwhacking around Los Liones Canyon\, I found some side trails. After some research I came to the conclusion that these trails were used before the current Los Liones Canyon Trail was built\, i.e.\, it was was the old Los Liones trail! It immediately became a VIP hike \nWe’ll take the old trail up the canyon and climb our way to the East Topanga Fireroad. The “no fireroad rule” will be in effect and we will use the paralleling single tracks that will take us to “Wirebreak Peak” (for lack of a better name). There may be steep and/or loose sections here. If you’ve done the Wirebreak trail with us you probably know the peak I am referring to. We’ll return along with the unwashed masses down the “new” Los Liones book trail \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 4.5 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,300 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT DUE TO TERRAIN. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nNote: The last time I took the group was 2019 and a small section became so impassable we had to change the hike. Since then Katja\, Andi and I cleared the trail and made it passable in 2020\, but haven’t been back since. There will undoubtably be some bushwhacking\, but I don’t expect any large branches blocking our way. Bring some hand tools (optional) for additional grooming along the way. \n\nDirections:\nWe’ll meet at the Los Liones Trail Head at the end of Los Liones Dr\nThere are a couple of  parking lots on the right\, however I expect them to be full.

SUMMARY:DAGGER FLAT TRAIL RECONSTRUCTION - Volunteer Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:** THIS IS NOT A HIKE *****\n* RAIN\, SNOW OR EXCESS HEAT AT WORK SITE WILL CANCEL EVENT ** \nJoin Dianne for some light trail clean up of the DAGGER FLAT TRAIL – No experience required! \nTHIS IS NOT A HIKE\, but you will be among some of the most spectacular scenery near SCV. The trail is still there! Help Dianne bring it back from being a bit overgrown after the last fire. \nAt this time we are restoring the top portion of the trail just before the stairs. We will show you how to make/ maintain a trail. Get that special feeling of accomplishment as you work with other volunteers to complete manageable small outdoor projects (Trimming\, trail brushing and stashing trimmings). No heavy lifting etc. at this time. Work for a few hours\, we will leave to come back early if the weather doesn’t co-operate. Dianne will bring all the tools needed. \nPLEASE only RSVP “Yes” if you can make it. \nMeet At:\nGoogle Latitude/Longitude coordinates 34.360824\, -118.391941. We meet at Sand Canyon Road and 3N17 white gate. \nDirections to Meeting Spot (White Gate for 3N17):\nTake the I-5 to the SR-14 North. Exit at Sand Canyon\, turn right (South/East). Go all the way past all the houses\, Placerita Canyon etc.\, going straight. Enter the Angeles National Forest and continue up!up!up! Sand Canyon Road until you see a large heart memorial at a bad corner on the right side. Shortly after this you will see a small brown sign “Santa Clara Divide Road” on the right side. Just past the sign\, turn left onto the road on the left side. You will see a white gate. Dianne will meet you here\, and you will caravan to the trail head. \nMeeting Time:\nWe will meet at 7:45AM and leave for the trail head no later than 8:00AM SHARP. The trail head is 4 miles along Forest Road 3N17. Please do not be late as the gate will be locked after we leave the meeting spot. \nBring:\nBoots\, plenty of WATER\, electrolytes\, and snacks\, a sack lunch. TP (there are no bathrooms)\, strong garden GLOVES (suede leather type recommended). If it is hot\, consider bringing sunscreen\, a cooling towel\, sun hat\, bandana.
