SUMMARY:Tongva - The 4072nd highest peak in California.
DESCRIPTION:The Stats \nWaitlisted. COVID-19 guidelines applies.Distance <6.5 milesRating 6-7/10\, not for beginnersElevation gain: 2000 ft.Trail: Fire Roads and Trails w/ some steep uphills \nThe PlanDon’s writeup \nWarning: This route starts uphill 1950 feet in less than 2 miles so don’t say I didn’t warn you!! Depending on your abilities gloves could come in handy and you could be doing some portions on all fours. \nWe’ll start by the Brand Park Library\, after a brief portion of the Brand Park Mtrwy we’ll be taking a direct and steep route up to Tongva Peak. At the top we’ll enjoy the views returning via Brand Canyon on the Brand Canyon Mtrwy. \nThe Story \nAccording to peakery.com data\, Tongva Peak ranks as the 4072nd highest mountain in California and the 37798th highest mountain in the United States. \nThe Tongva lived in villages on vast tribal lands that stretched from Orange County to Ventura County and from Riverside County to the Pacific Ocean\, including the Channel Islands. The skilled seafarers and hunters were knowledgeable and astute stewards of their land and its resources\, according to the Gabrielino/Tongva Tribal Council based in San Gabriel. \nTheir culture began to crumble in the late 1700s when the Spaniards forced them to build the missions and farm the surrounding land for the mission padres. The priests established the road from Mission San Gabriel to the San Fernando Mission along a path the Tongva had used for thousands of years. Portions still exist as La Crescenta Avenue in La Crescenta\, Honolulu Avenue in Montrose and La Tuna Canyon Road in Tujunga. \nThe mission road crossed an arroyo near what is now Orange Grove Boulevard and Colorado Avenue and continued north along the Verdugo Mountains. \nThe Verdugo range stretches about 10 miles across the eastern San Fernando Valley from La Tuna Canyon to Glendale. Its trails are a magnet for mountain bikers and hikers\, who say that although the mountains are surrounded by a population of millions\, recreation seekers can often ride or hike for hours without seeing anyone. \nHome to mountain lions\, deer and bobcats\, the Verdugos remain largely unspoiled by development\, much as they were when the Tongva built encampments in the foothills. \nWhen the mission system collapsed in the 1840s\, the Tongva culture and language all but disappeared. During the last three decades\, however\, Tongva descendants have been working to gain federal recognition as members of a Native American tribe\, which would make them eligible for health benefits\, housing assistance\, scholarships and gaming rights. \nAbout 350 Tongva descendants live in the Los Angeles basin today\, according to the tribal council’s cultural affairs officer. \nUnofficially\, the peak has had several monikers over the years–Star Peak\, Flat Top and Mount Tom among them. \nDirections \nExit on Western Ave. from the 5 freeway and go North toward the mountains. At the end of Western you’ll see the entrance to Brand Park across the street and a few feet to your right. Enter here and go past the ballfields to the parking lots by the library. Parking is free. \n******************************************************************* \nPLEASE – Know your limits and abilities. Bring snacks and drink plenty of liquids when hiking. Check weather conditions and dress accordingly and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Watching out for poison oak\, snakes\, ticks\, uneven footing\, spectacular views\, beautiful fauna all while interacting with awesome (usually) fellow hikers can be extremely hazardous\, rewarding and fun. \nVHC HIKE RATING SCALE \nRating a hike is subjective\, meaning the difficulty of a hike will be in direct relation to how often you hike and the type of hike you prefer. Keep in mind that any hike can have the following: un-even hiking surfaces\, various obstructions\, water and/or water crossings or bouldering and/or rock hopping. A great hike will have all of these! \n1 – A long walk \n2 – 4 mile hike w/little elevation gain \n3 – 5 mile hike w/up to1000 ft. elevation gain \n4 – 5+ mile hike w/up to1500 ft. elevation gain (heart rate increases at times) \n5 – 7+ mile hike w/over 1500 ft. elevation gain (heart rate increasing even more at times) \n6 – 7+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be trying to remember how to perform CPR) \n7 – 5+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be muttering expletives to yourself) \n8 – 10+ mile hike w/over 3500 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be angry with the hike leader) \n9 – 10+ mile hike w/over 5000 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be thinking of reporting the hike leader to the authorities) \n10 – Use your imagination \nClass 3 Scrambling: Scrambling or un-roped climbing. You must use your hands at times to hold the terrain or find your route. This may be caused by a combination of boulders\, steepness and extreme terrain. Some Class 3 routes have ropes in place for assistance. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nI am a volunteer (i.e. not liable for the group). Safety is a priority for everyone in the group. Think of this as hiking with a group of friends. \nOutdoor sports and other events we plan can be inherently dangerous and accidents may happen. By participating in any posted event\, you’re taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. The Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and its organizers are not trained leaders and we do not confirm the qualifications of any of its members to lead or participate in trips.

SUMMARY:Sycamore Canyon Evening Hike
DESCRIPTION:Come join me for a quick-paced (2.5-3 miles per hour) evening hike. Let’s get in a good hike before our Thanksgiving feasts take place! \nWe will be on pavement or gravel most of the way\, which makes it good for nighttime! I am extending this hike an additional two miles from the last time I did this with the group (taking a side trail another hiking group I am in calls “Joanne’s Route”).I have the day off so I am starting the hike earlier so we can get a little more daylight in than the last time we hiked this trail.This area has a lot of No Picnicking signs throughout the park\, which means we need to keep moving and not stop for breaks or congregate. It is a reverse hike in that it goes down in the beginning and you go back up a steep hill at the end.We will hike/walk down to a campground picnic area. In non Covid times I would suggest congregating and having a restful snack there.It is across from the ranger’s house so we want to make sure to follow the rules and also not be very loud. We can stop briefly to rest or snack and then turn around and head back. \nDistance: 9 miles on Pavement and gravel roadElevation Gain: about 600 ftDifficulty: Intermediate hike due to pace and distance\, but an experienced fast paced beginner or someone willing to go the distance should be able to do it too\, please do not expect anyone to wait for you if you are slower and do not know the way.Dogs: NoRestrooms: There is an Andy Gump toilet mid hikeWater Fountain: NoParking: Free\, make sure you do not park on the street across from the trailhead or you will get a ticket. Park farther down at Potrero and Pinehill on the right then walk to the trailhead.Trail: Out and back\, pavement/fireroad this hike goes down at the beginning and up at the endSunset: 4:47 pm bring flashlight or headlampWeather: Adverse Weather conditions will cancel the hike. Come prepared with a light layer in your pack in case you get chilly from all the sweat! (I usually get chilled on the way back). \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, poison oak\, Mosquitoes may all be encountered on this hike\, bug spray might be useful here.It is always possible to slip and fall though the road is flat wear comfortable shoes that you can wear on pavement or dirt. Tennis shoes okay since much of this hike is pavement\, but hiking shoes are best. \nBring: Your headlamp\, a personal snack\, light layer and LOTS of H20 when it’s hot (maybe 2L or more L if you sweat a lot). \nCOVID-19 DISCLAIMER / RULESPlease follow the guidelines under the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). https://covid19.ca.gov/COVID information for Ventura and LA counties:• https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/• http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/ \nYour participation means you agree with the observance of mandated COVID-19 safety measures and you agree to follow these rules: \n• Each participant will observe social distancing of 6 ft. among ourselves.• It is required to carry a mask and wear it through the duration of the hike.

SUMMARY:Hump Day- Topanga Overlook
DESCRIPTION:Hi All\, \nBarring extenuating circumstances\, if you sign up and don’t show up\, or change your rsvp to “not going” less than 4 hours before the start of the hike more than once\, you will not be welcome to hike with me again. Masks are mandatory as we gather at the trailhead and the Lookout! \nThis is one of our easiest and most beginner friendly hikes with a great place to hang out at the end. It will be close to a full moon and I thought an easy hike the night before Thanksgiving might be a good idea! \nThis out & back hike is only 2 miles total\, and will take us to a lookout destination which has an amazing view of both the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. \nFrom where we park\, there’s also a great view of the South Bay. We were once treated to a fireworks display being done off of a boat in the bay. \nIf 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. Unless you are snacking\, I will ask that we all wear masks when we are on the lookout together. \nDistance: 2 miles\, with 10 miles of viewsElevation Gain: Very littleDifficulty: EasyDogs: If leashedRestrooms: NatureWater Fountain: NoParking: You can park at the very top of Stunt Road (see link above\, but YOUR GPS MAY\, OR MAY NOT\, GET YOU THERE). The written directions are always accurate.) Parking is free along Stunt Road\, and you will be good as long as you pull completely off of Stunt. If parking is already taken at the very top\, then just BELOW the top of Stunt\, there is LOTS of parking on the north side of Stunt\, and from there it’s a short walk to the top of Stunt.Trail: FireroadSunset: IrrelevantMoon: About three quarters \nDirections: From the 101\, take Las Virgenes (same as Malibu Canyon Road\, depending on where you get on it) to the stoplight at Mulholland Road. Go eastward from that stoplight a few miles until you get to Stunt Road. WATCH FOR IT on your right! Take Stunt Road up to the TOP\, where it meets Shueren Road and where there is a small\, very popular Lookout. \nAlternate Directions: (More direct from Simi) From the 101\, take the Valley Circle/Mulholland Drive exit and head South. In 1/2 mile\, turn right on Valmar which turns into Old Topanga Rd. Turn right onto Mulholland Hwy. In 3.8 miles\, turn left onto Stunt Road. Take Stunt Road up to the TOP\, where it meets Shueren Road and where there is a small\, very popular Lookout. \nBring:Flashlight/headlamp\, charged and ready to go!Dress for the weather! \nCOVID-19 DISCLAIMER / RULESPlease follow the guidelines under the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). https://covid19.ca.gov/COVID information for Ventura and LA counties:• https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/• http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/ \nYour participation means you agree with the observance of mandated COVID-19 safety measures and you agree to follow these rules: \n• Each participant will observe social distancing of 6 ft. among ourselves.• It is required to carry a mask and wear it through the duration of the hike.

BRING HAND SANITIZER IF YOU HAVE IT.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nIf you like my Goat Peak hike\, you’ll love this one! A few of us went exploring last month and uncovered some new trails in the area. It made the hike about a mile shorter with same elevation gain…but the views are even more spectacular! See the photos from our exploratory below for some highlights. \nWear long sleeves\, long pants and your best hiking shoes. Bring 2 qt water and trekking poles if you have them. \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 2\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED DIFFICULT. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nUpdate: During our exploratory hike (magenta line) we noticed a fork in the trail (gold circle)\, but we continued on the planned route (red arrow). This time we will take that fork (gold arrow) — if we can. Compare the 2019 and 1989 satellite photos below \n\nExpect the unexpected \nDirections:\nFor free parking\, park on Will Rogers State Park Rd or the residential streets before entrance gate at Will Rogers State Historic Park.

SUMMARY:Don's Rocky IV Turkey Trot
DESCRIPTION:YOU MUST MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF SIX FEET FROM OTHERS \nDO NOT APPROACH ANYONE WITHOUT YOUR FACE COVERING \nFor the safety of yourself and others\, please follow these guidelines so we can continue posting hikes. \n***YOU MUST BRING A FACE COVERING to meet up at the trailhead and to use on trail when it is not possible to avoid close proximity to other hikers. Please be mindful of other people’s space. We will be stopping for lunch but there is plenty of room to spread out while our masks are off. Once again – DO NOT APPROACH ANYONE WITHOUT YOUR FACE COVERING!!! \n***Hike is waitlisted. For the time being\, you must have hiked with us previously. Put yourself on the list and I will add you if I feel you can complete the hike at the group’s pace safely. Also\, strict limit of the total number of attendees so please change your RSVP as soon as you know you cannot make it. \nSTATS \nDistance: 9 miles \nDual Rating: 5/10 \nElevation gain: 1400 feet \nThe Trail: A figure 8 loop through 4 rocky parks \nThe Plan: I’ve improved a previous route as we’ll be taking the Old Stagecoach Road to Rocky Peak to Corriganville Park via the Wildlife Corridor to Chatsworth Park to our cars. Bring lunch as there are ample picnic tables in Corriganville. \nThe Old Santa Susana Stagecoach Road is a route taken by early travelers between the San Fernando Valley and Simi Valley near Chatsworth\, California via the Santa Susana Pass. The main route climbs through what is now Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park\, with a branch in Chatsworth Park South. It was an important artery linking the Los Angeles Basin and inland Ventura county\, and was part of the main route for travel by stagecoach between Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1861 until the opening of rail traffic between the cities in 1876. The Old Santa Susana Stage Road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Part of the stage road is also a Historic-Cultural Monument of Ventura County and of the City of Los Angeles under the name Old Stagecoach Trail. Notice the drainage chutes along the side of the road\, old cisterns used to capture rainwater\, and notches carved out from the wear of wagon wheels. One of the locals has said that there are petroglyph’s to be found on some of the rocks along the trail if you look carefully. A plaque was embedded into the sandstone rock by the Native Daughters of the Golden West in 1937\, commemorating the Old Santa Susana Stage Road. \nRay “Crash” Corrigan\, a cowboy and actor purchased what would become the Corriganville movie ranch in 1937 for $11\,354. The beautiful\, rocky Simi Valley landscape was the setting for the filming of hundreds of movies and T.V. Westerns in the 1940’s and 1950’s. \nIn 1949\, Corrigan opened the property to the public as a western-themed amusement park. The park featured stuntmen shows\, movie lots\, a working western town\, Indian crafts\, stagecoach rides\, pony rides\, and boating on a lake. It attracted as many as 20\,000 people on weekends. \nAs usual know your limits\, bring ample supplies of liquid refreshment\, snacks\, and sunscreen; dress accordingly depending on the weather conditions. Please let someone know if you decide to not finish the hike. Dogs are welcome\, if friendly and must be leashed\, washed\, fed and picked up after. Be on the lookout for rattlesnakes\, ticks\, zombies\, great views\, awesome sights\, friendly fellow hikers and martians. \nDirections:Go west on Devonshire from Topanga Canyon as if you are going to Chatsworth Park. Instead of driving into the (closed) park entrance\, turn left (south) on Larwin Street and go one block until you come to a chain link fence on your right. This is very easy to locate because in addition to the fence\, an old set of power lines runs directly overhead. Park along the curb. We will enter the park through a gap in the fence. \n************************** \nThe Fine Print \nPLEASE – Know your limits and abilities. Bring snacks and drink plenty of liquids when hiking. Check weather conditions and dress accordingly and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Watching out for poison oak\, snakes\, ticks\, uneven footing\, spectacular views\, beautiful fauna all while interacting with awesome (usually) fellow hikers can be extremely hazardous\, rewarding and fun. \nThe Farzan Rule: Posted hike times are the time the hike starts or we leave from a posted shuttle location. I’m aware other Meetup groups offer a grace period for late arrivals; we don’t. It’s your responsibility to know the location of the meeting spot and be there and ready to participate at the posted time. If you have any concerns about the directions feel free to contact the organizer of the event\, preferably in advance of the event and not at the start time. I’m of the opinion that it’s not fair to delay an event when the majority of attendees have arrived on-time. (so named after a conversation I had with a certain un-named member) \nRSVP’s: If you RSVP for an event be responsible and update your RSVP if your plans change. If your plans change at the last second and you’re not able to update your RSVP also let us know. In my opinion a no-show is someone who has no regard for following the guidelines we request from our members and will risk being removed from future events that have a limit. \nVHC HIKE RATING SCALE \nRating a hike is subjective\, meaning the difficulty of a hike will be in direct relation to how often you hike and the type of hike you prefer. Keep in mind that any hike can have the following: un-even hiking surfaces\, various obstructions\, water and/or water crossings or bouldering and/or rock hopping. A great hike will have all of these! \n1 – A long walk \n2 – 4 mile hike w/little elevation gain \n3 – 5 mile hike w/up to1000 ft. elevation gain \n4 – 5+ mile hike w/up to1500 ft. elevation gain (heart rate increases at times) \n5 – 7+ mile hike w/over 1500 ft. elevation gain (heart rate increasing even more at times) \n6 – 7+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be trying to remember how to perform CPR) \n7 – 5+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be muttering expletives to yourself) \n8 – 10+ mile hike w/over 3500 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be angry with the hike leader) \n9 – 10+ mile hike w/over 5000 ft. elevation gain (at times you might be thinking of reporting the hike leader to the authorities) \n10 – Use your imagination \nClass 3 Scrambling: Scrambling or un-roped climbing. You must use your hands at times to hold the terrain or find your route. This may be caused by a combination of boulders\, steepness and extreme terrain. Some Class 3 routes have ropes in place for assistance. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nI am a volunteer (i.e. not liable for the group). Safety is a priority for everyone in the group. Think of this as hiking with a group of friends. \nOutdoor sports and other events we plan can be inherently dangerous and accidents may happen. By participating in any posted event\, you’re taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. The Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and its organizers are not trained leaders and we do not confirm the qualifications of any of its members to lead or participate in trips.

SUMMARY:Fish Canyon to Piano Box Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Lets burn off some of that Thanksgiving feast by doing this 8 mile hike!I have not been there since May so it will be partially exploratory since I did not check it out before. I have seen other groups going so I know it is safe and ready for us. In years past this has also been a great place for fall colors. Not sure now because it has been really dry. \nWe will need to leave the trail right at 1pm to allow enough time so arrive at 12:30 to get settled.My suggestion is we also should turn back no matter where we are by 2:30-3pm to make sure we do not get stuck in the dark. I do not want us strung out so that is why I am limiting this hike to more experienced hikers. A beginner could come on their own or should start earlier in the day to allow for more time.Distance: 8 milesElevation Gain: 500Difficulty: Intermediate\, no beginners as we need to stay togetherDogs: A well behaved\, trained dog can join us as long as you do not expect us to wait for youRestrooms: NoWater Fountain: NoParking: Parking is free along the roadTrail: Out and back\, uneven footingSunset: 4:46pm we should be back before then but please be prepared with a light just in case!Weather: Rainy\, windy or unusual weather will cancel the hike. Also if it rains a lot before the hike (hasn’t yet)\, I may cancel as it is a canyon that can fill up with water. Please pay attention to the weather the day of in case there are adverse conditions. \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, slip-‘n-fall\, poison oak all can happen on this hike. If it does rain while we are hiking we would need to be careful as well (probably not likely).Bring: a personal snack and plenty of water 2-3 liters minimumFlashlight/headlamp to be safeSunscreen and hat is recommended because we will start in full sun. \nCOVID-19 DISCLAIMER / RULESPlease follow the guidelines under the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). https://covid19.ca.gov/COVID information for Ventura and LA counties:• https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/• http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/ \nYour participation means you agree with the observance of mandated COVID-19 safety measures and you agree to follow these rules: \n• Each participant will observe social distancing of 6 ft. among ourselves.• It is required to carry a mask and wear it through the duration of the hike.

SUMMARY:Post Thanksgiving Hike- Danielson Monument
DESCRIPTION:Hi All\, \nJust a heads up: Barring extenuating circumstances\, if you sign up and don’t show up\, or change your rsvp to “not going” less than 4 hours before the start of the hike more than once\, you will not be welcome to hike with me again. Please and thank you for being considerate! \nMasks are mandatory as we gather at the trailhead and the monument! \nWe will again meet at the Wendy “walk-in” at the intersection of Wendy and Protero Roads in Newbury Park. We will head up the Overlook trail\, staying to the left at every option\, past the old windmill. It’s a steady climb\, but not too steep (the first one can be a little challenging\, but it is doable if you go slowly). We will turn right at the sign for the Waterfall Trail and then make a sharp left that will take us down into the Canyon\, across a small stream. We will climb again\, to the Danielson Monument. On the off chance that we get rain before then\, we might want to detour and check out the waterfall. We will return via a slightly different route and avoid the very steep\, slippery hill that we climbed. \nIf 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. \nDistance: 6 milesElevation Gain: ~ 1500′Difficulty: IntermediateDogs: Not allowed in the state parkRestrooms: NatureWater Fountain: NoParking: Free at the Trailhead along Potrero RoadTrail: Single track\, excellent condition\, although some areas may be overgrownSunset: 4.43 PMMoon: Full moon\, but I’m not sure we will be out late enough to see it \nDirections: Take the 101 to Wendy Drive exit in Newbury Park and head south toward the ocean until Wendy Drive ceases to exist at the intersection with Potrero Road. Park right there in the free dirt lot that is staring you in the face. We’ll gather right there. \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, slip-‘n-fall\, poison oak\, bears\, mountain lions\, heatstroke\, rabid rabbits\, whatever. \nBring:Flashlight/headlamp\, charged and ready to go!LOTS of H20\, especially if it’s hot when we start out.Whatever will keep you warm enough when the sun starts to set\, but we should be hiking by that point.There are a few slippery spots if you like poles. \nCOVID-19 DISCLAIMER / RULESPlease follow the guidelines under the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). https://covid19.ca.gov/COVID information for Ventura and LA counties:• https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/• http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/ \nYour participation means you agree with the observance of mandated COVID-19 safety measures and you agree to follow these rules: \n• Each participant will observe social distancing of 6 ft. among ourselves.• It is required to carry a mask and wear it through the duration of the hike.

SUMMARY:Gabrielino Trail Out and Back ~ Sudden Hike
DESCRIPTION:YOU MUST MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF SIX FEET FROM OTHERS \nDO NOT APPROACH ANYONE WITHOUT YOUR FACE COVERING \n***YOU MUST BRING A FACE COVERING to meet up at the trailhead and to use on trail when it is not possible to avoid close proximity to other hikers. Please be mindful of other people’s space. Once again – DO NOT APPROACH ANYONE WITHOUT YOUR FACE COVERING!!! \n***Hike is waitlisted. For the time being\, you must have hiked with us previously. Put yourself on the list and I will add you if I feel you can complete the hike at the group’s pace safely. Also\, strict limit of the total number of attendees so please change your RSVP as soon as you know you cannot make it. No crashing. \n**************************We haven’t done this exact route before so stats are a guess. We’ll hike until we find a good spot to stop for a snack/lunch break. \nSTATS \nDistance: 11-12 miles \nDual Rating: 6/10 \nElevation gain: >2000 feet \nThe Trail: Canyon trail out and back \nThe Plan: \nWe will meet where Gould Mesa road meets the Crest Highway. The plan is to hike up the canyon five to six miles\, take a break\, then head back the way we came. The last time we were here\, the canyon was nicely shaded with big beautiful trees and a little bit of water in the creek. \nKen Burton trail. Large swaths of the trail were destroyed by the 2009 Station Fire and subsequent El Niño storms. Sections that survived had suffered years of erosion and lack of use or maintenance. It was virtually impassable due to hundreds of downed trees\, rock slides\, heavy sloughing and failed support structures. In the years shortly after the fire\, a few people who ignored the closure order ended up lost and needing rescue. \nDirections: \nFrom the 210 Freeway take exit 20\, Angeles Crest Hwy (CA-2) towards the mountains. In about 2 miles and shortly past Bay Tree Rd (on the left) you will see parking on the right. Free parking is here. \n**************************************************** \nThe Fine Print \nPLEASE – Know your limits and abilities. Bring snacks and drink plenty of liquids when hiking. Check weather conditions and dress accordingly and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Watching out for poison oak\, snakes\, ticks\, uneven footing\, spectacular views\, beautiful fauna all while interacting with awesome (usually) fellow hikers can be extremely hazardous\, rewarding and fun. \nThe Farzan Rule: Posted hike times are the time the hike starts or we leave from a posted shuttle location.

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.[/vc_message] \nDetails\nAnother HWD Exclusive \nOn February 21\, 2020 the MRCA announced that they acquired and opened a new 257-acre park in Browns Canyon in one of the most vibrant wildlife habitats in the southern Santa Susana Mountains. The stunning Hidden Creeks parkland—which had\, as recently as last year\, been proposed to be developed into a gated community of 188 luxury houses—is located at the confluence of Browns Creek and Mormon Creek. The property provides a key migration corridor and perennial water source to a full complement of large mammals including black bear\, mountain lion\, mule deer\, bobcat\, American badger\, grey fox\, long-tailed weasel\, ring-tailed cat\, and the endangered California Condor. \nNature won’t be the only thing we’ll experience. We may get a chance to meet Ferdinand\, a bull that roams the area. There are lots of old artifacts to explore along the way\, including old ranch houses\, abandoned ranch vehicles\, a dam and much more! So expect a lot of stops along the way. Hike will last longer than normal. \nShortly after the announcement all LA trails closed. None of the trails here have been established or published as of yet and the best access requires crossing private property. But during the trail closures Katja\, Cristina and I explored the nooks and crannies of this new open space over many weekends. We also answered the philosophical question: “If a trail has never been opened\, can it be closed?” \nI’ll post some photos from the exploratories later…check back often \nI do have carte blanch permission from the property owner for access and I can’t wait to show the group this new gem of open space and its myriad of trails. RSVP below to be part of the first Meetup group to hike these trails \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS 6-8 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,000 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDirections:\nHead toward the address given. You are going to park in a turnout on Brown’s Canyon Rd. The picture below shows an old for-sale sign post. You  can park in turnout immediately before or immediately after that. We’ll meet in the driveway by that sign. See 2nd pic below. This is the entrance to the old Misty Hollow ranch\, now owned by MRCA and part of their park system. See 3rd pic for parking and ranch overview. \n \n \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”rsvp”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nRSVP Here\n[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_js]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[/vc_raw_js][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Echo Mountain Via Sam Merrill Trail
DESCRIPTION:Come join me at a popular location for hiking in Altadena\,Cobb Estate\, Echo Mountain trail is a very popular hike and if you come or have been there before you’ll know why! There are ruins from an old hotel and dance hall and the Mount Lowe Railway.We will begin on time at 2pm so I suggest arriving at 1:30pm for parking. \nThere are some spectacular views at the top and remnants of times gone by. If you have never been there before you will want to plan for some explore time up top. I will probably only stay up there for about 15 minutes and then head down\, but like I said it is worth exploring around there (and find out why it is called Echo Mountain) so no need to come down with me. If you do stay up longer you definitely will need a light. \nDistance: 5.4 miles (for details look up this trail on Alltrails.com)Elevation Gain: 1417 ftDifficulty: Intermediate due to steepness and pace no one will wait for you if you are slower than the group pace. If you know the way and are slower you can join us or just come on your own and start earlier.Dogs: NoRestrooms: NoWater Fountain: NoParking: Free street parking may need to walk a bit from your park spot so allow time for this (arrive at 1:30pm is suggested).Trail: Out and back\, can be slick and slippery\, poles suggested for those that need them due to this (there have been hiker deaths on this trail) and wear appropriate hiking or trail shoes.Sunset: 4:45 pm bring light just to be safe\, we will probably be finishedWeather: rain\, wind or extreme heat will cancel this hike\, rain and mud can make the trail especially dangerous so if we get a lot of rain between now and then I may cancel. \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, slip-‘n-fall\, poison oak\, can all happen on this trail\, additionally if it is a warm day\, bring extra water due to no shade and the steep climb.This place attracts a lot of people so if you are trying to social distance don’t say I did not warn you. There will be some narrow spots and people may want to pass you going either way if you are slower you need to let the runners or faster people pass you out of politeness and put on your mask if it looks like they care. \nBring: snack and a light layer as it may be cool at the topFlashlight/headlamp when it’s darkSunscreen and hat or sunglasses recommended since this hike has little shadeLOTS of H20 I recommend about 2 liters more if you sweat a lot. \nCOVID-19 DISCLAIMER / RULESPlease follow the guidelines under the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). https://covid19.ca.gov/COVID information for Ventura and LA counties:• https://www.venturacountyrecovers.org/• http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/ \nYour participation means you agree with the observance of mandated COVID-19 safety measures and you agree to follow these rules: \n• Each participant will observe social distancing of 6 ft. among ourselves.• It is required to carry a mask and wear it through the duration of the hike.

We will be veering right at the Santa Rosa Trail/Box Canyon sign and go up a steep incline\, which is about 1 mile to the top. If you are a beginner you could do the hill and then turn around to make it a heart-pounding 2 mile hike.
