SUMMARY:🏫A Back to School Hike to the CLU Rocks
DESCRIPTION:The “CLU” rocks are located on Mount Clef Ridge overlooking the Cal Lutheran University campus. They have been a fixture of CLU’s landscape since its second academic year (1962). Every year\, in one of Cal Lutheran’s longest-standing traditions\, freshman and transfer students paint the rocks. \nTo get there we’ll be taking a “slightly” 😜more difficult route than the students use: From Wildwood Park via the Santa Rosa Trail. We will return via the Lower Butte Trail. Along the way there will be breathtaking views of Santa Rosa Valley\, Thousand Oaks\, and the CLU campus. \nHike is about 7.6 miles with 1\,300 ft total ascent and rated MEDIUM+ See the HWD Hike Rating Guide \nNote that “CLU” is misspelled. It should read “HWD” 😆 \nDIRECTIONS\nMeet in the east parking lot on Canna st (not the tennis courts) \nTake either Lynn Rd or the 23 to Avenida de los Arboles. Turn west and drive (0.6 miles from Lynn Rd) to the Wildflower Playfield. Turn right on Canna St then left into parking lot\, or park on street. \nTo Post Hike Lunch\nHead down Ave de los Arboles and turn right in the first driveway past the 23\, then right again in parking lot.

SUMMARY:⛏️Gold Dust & Pine Rust: Big Horn Mine & Vincent’s Cabin Loop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a classic San Gabriel Mountains adventure that pairs high-elevation alpine views with rich Southern California mining history! \n📅HISTORY OF THE AREA\nThis trail traces the steps of Charles “Tom” Vincent\, a Civil War veteran and hunter who lived in solitary self-reliance in these mountains starting in the 1860s. In 1895\, while tracking a bighorn sheep along the steep crags of Mount Baden-Powell\, Vincent spotted quartz veins gleaming with gold. His discovery sparked the creation of the Big Horn Mine. Tens of thousands of dollars in gold were extracted over the following decades\, leaving behind fascinating historic structures hidden high above the canyon floor. \n👁️HIKE OVERVIEW & VIEWS\nWe’ll tackle this hike as a ~4-mile loop (with roughly 1\,000 feet of total ascent) combining dense timbered gulches\, historic artifacts\, and sweeping canyon vistas. \n\nVincent’s Cabin: Starting at Vincent Gap (~6\,600 ft elevation)\, we drop down the forested Vincent Gulch Trail into a shaded ravine lined with towering Jeffrey pines\, sugar pines\, and white firs. Hidden in the trees sits Vincent’s remarkably preserved 19th-century log cabin.\nThe Connector & Mine Road: From the cabin\, we climb a short\, steep connector trail that ascends through pine duff to join Big Horn Mine Road. As we head along this wide shelf carved into the cliff face\, the canopy opens up to dramatic\, sweeping views overlooking Mine Gulch\, the East Fork San Gabriel River gorge\, and the rugged wilderness of the Sheep Mountain area.\nThe Stamp Mill Ruins: The highlight of the route is the massive\, weathered wooden stamp mill clinging to the mountainside. Here\, we can admire the historic timber framework and catch the chilly draft flowing from the gated mine portal.\nFlora & Fauna: Along the trail\, keep an eye out for high-country wildlife—including Nelson’s bighorn sheep perched on the rocky ledges\, mule deer\, and Steller’s jays—and don’t forget to catch the butterscotch-vanilla scent of the Jeffrey pine bark along the ridge!\n\n🚶‍➡️TRAIL DETAILS \n\nDistance: ~4 miles round-trip (Lollipop)\nTotal Ascent: ~1\,000 feet\nDifficulty: Medium due to terrain. See the HWD Rating Guide.\nWhat to Bring: Sturdy hiking boots\, 2+ liters of water\, snacks/lunch\, sun protection\, and a camera for the mountain vistas!\n\n🚗DIRECTIONS\nOn Angeles Crest Hwy park at the Vincent Gap Parking lot. No pass is needed. Parking is free for us\n⚠️Angeles Crest Hwy (Hwy 2) is closed in some areas. There is no access from La Canada or Azuza. Consult Google Maps for best directions from your location.

SUMMARY:Test Event for bug reporting
DESCRIPTION:Easy Intermediate\, 3 miles\, 600′ gain\nEasier Option: 2.4 mi\, 530′ gain. (5 Washburn St\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065\, or 89 La Paz Ct\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065 to save another 500′ distance). \nWe’ll meet in the parking lot at the northeast corner of Madera and Royal\, just south of the Donut Delite\, on the east side of the Clinicas office. We’ll walk from there to the trailhead at 2 Washburn St. where it meets Los Amigos Ave. \nThe Hike\nEasy end of the Intermediate Spectrum\, due to the 1 mile continuous incline that can get exhausting. A fit beginner can easily complete it. \nWe cross Madera and continue through the neighborhood for about 1500′\, to the intersection of Washburn St. and Los Amigos Ave. Then we enter a path behind the houses and proceed for 250′ to the entrance. So far\, there will have been very little elevation gain. \nFor those that want a little easier option start at this address: 1366 Los Amigos Ave\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065. Join the group as we pass. \nWe’ll enter a series of switchbacks (zig-zag trail) for 1.2 miles to a large cross at the top. This is a steady climb across the face of the hill\, always in full view of the neighborhood below. Beginners may find this climb difficult to continue at a fast pace. There is nothing wrong with slowing down while faster hikers move ahead\, or resting for a minute several times during this climb. \nIt may seem easy to get lost because there are many different cross-paths up the face of this hill\, but they all lead to the same place. Generally\, whenever there is a choice of “left or right”\, we take the easier and more worn path. If you happen to find yourself alone and take a wrong turn (aka steep cut)\, all paths lead up. \nAt the top by the cross or one of the nearby benches\, we’ll enjoy the gorgeous 360 degree views and share beverages and/or snacks. \nInteresting Notes\nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nBlack Sage\nMultiple brown buttons going up the top of the stalk\, that may have white flowers. Green leaves. Purple or white flowers that are dark brown as they dry on the plant. Squish the leaves and smell. \nA rare and sought after Black sage honey is also made from the honey of bees that pollinate the Black sage plant. Black sage is utilized in the culinary world as an aromatic and flavorful herb. It can be used in recipes wherever traditional sage is called for\, however keep in mind that foraged Black sage has a much stronger flavor than that of traditional store bought sage. \nIts flavor goes well with winter squashes\, brown butter\, poultry\, venison\, pears\, cheese\, potatoes and other herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Use fresh in a variety of different preparations or leaves. Can be dried and stored for future use as a dried herb. Black sage was used traditionally by Native Americans known as the Chumash people to form an herbal soak for the bath to be used in the treatment of bodily pain\, specifically for the feet and lower legs. \nPurple Sage\nGrey-green leaves. Aromatic when crushed. Purple flowers. Aka\, Tobacco Sage\, with mild hallucinogenic properties when smoked. Can be used as a spice or made into a tea. Tea has medicinal affects: Antiviral\, gargle for sore throats\, reduce hay fever symptoms and other drying actions. \nDistance: 3 miles (round trip)\nElevation Gain: 700′\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate\nDuration: 3 1/2 hours\nPace: 2.0 mph\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: Yes – at nearby places of business\nDrinking Fountains: Yes – at nearby places of business\nParking: Free\nTrail: Mostly single-track\, excellent condition\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK. \nWhat to Bring\n1-2 liters of water.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp. \nDirections\nFor those doing the regular route:\n1424 Madera Rd\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065 \nFAQ\nHiking Plus Page Links\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability
