SUMMARY:Trailer Canyon to Temescal Lookout
DESCRIPTION:Our route begins on Trailer Canyon fire road providing broad views over Santa Ynez Canyon and the surrounding mountains. But like nature and vacuums\, we abhor fire roads. Thus\, shortly after the hike begins we will leave the fire road and take a small\, slightly overgrown use trail that passes a clay gully and crosses a lush ridge up to the Temescal Ridge trail. We’ll return along the fire road making a loop in the canyon. \nAlong the way don’t forget to check out an old quarry marked by a single out of place palm tree juxtaposed against the indigenous chaparral. \nWe’ll soon meet up with Temescal Ridge trail and head over to Temescal Lookout \nWe’ll find some comfy spots among the ruins of an old ranger station/fire lookout and have our snack break. Our destination awaits us! \nDIRECTIONS \nFrom Sunset Boulevard\, half a mile east of PCH\, head north on Palisades Drive. After 2.4 miles. Turn left onto Vereda de la Montura\, (the same turnoff for the trailhead for hikes in Santa Ynez Canyon and Santa Ynez Falls) and make an immediate right on Michael Lane. Drive half a mile to the trailhead\, which will be on the left (look for what looks like a private driveway). There is street parking available on Michael Lane.

SUMMARY:Advanced Exploratory Loop from Haines Canyon
DESCRIPTION:COVID precautions still apply. YOU MUST BRING A FACE COVERING to meet up at the trailhead. Please be mindful of other people’s space. \nTHE PLAN \nTHIS IS AN EXPLORATORY – I have only done portions of this trail and would like to see if we can connect a couple of them. Please read the whole write up. \nImportant notes: \nEXPLORATORY \nBUSHWHACKING \nBRING POLES \nMORE WATER THAN YOU THINK YOU’LL NEED \nEXTRA TIME TO FIND PARKING – SEE FARZAN RULE \nSTAY WITH THE GROUP – SAFER IF EVERYONE STICKS TOGETHER \nVERY\, VERY STEEP \nWe will start at Haines Cyn and follow a trail along the foothills that will allow us a bit of a warm up before the fun begins. Three miles in\, we will meet up with the Kill ‘Em Quick trail. Here we will gain over 1000’ of elevation in just one mile. There are about 30 switchbacks that will lead us to a ridge. This ridge is a bit of an unknown… the plan is to connect to a point we reached last year that has amazing views of the valley and surrounding areas. Also\, a bit of a surprise up here with a story behind it. This is where we’ll take our lunch break before heading down a couple miles of steep trail back to our cars. \nThere will be a couple places to stop\, catch our breath\, take in the views and regroup. Poles and an adventurous spirit will be very helpful. \nSTATS ~ a guess \nDistance: 8-9 Miles \nElevation Gain: >3000 ft \nDuration: 5 hours \nTrail: Fire road and single track\, w/areas of deteriorating trails and steep\, uneven downhills\, possible bushwhacking \nRating: 8/10\, due to trail condition and gain \nParking pass: Not needed \nNot for beginners – no sweep!! We’ll be keeping a moderate pace and regrouping as needed. \n**************************************************** \nTHE STORY \nA couple of local residents made some cool videos of their crazy adventures. One of them was an exploration of an abandoned detention center and the trail the juvenile detainees maintained as part of their training program: \n“The Kill ‘Em Quick Trail was built by juvenile offenders detained at nearby Camp Routh\, a LA County probation department fire camp\, abandoned in 2009. Camp Routh had a program that trained some of the detainees to fight forest fires. As part of the training requirements\, these detainees had to make it up the ridge in under 30 mins wearing their forest fire gear\, some carrying chainsaws. \n“In one of the abandoned buildings\, there’s an old whiteboard with the Kill ‘Em Quick climber rankings\, a competitive list of times between detainees\, staff and the fire department.” One of the probation officers set the record with a time of just 15 minutes. \nA couple quotes that will let you know what you’re in for: “Is this even a trail?” “This trail won’t last if people don’t use it.” “This trail is gnarly.” Sounds like a VHC hike to me. \nDIRECTIONS \nFrom the 210 fwy take the Lowell Ave exit to Honolulu Ave. Go west. It veers right and turns into Tujunga Cyn Blvd. In just over a mile and a half turn right on Haines Cyn Ave. Make a right on Day St and a left to join Haines Cyn again. Though we will be meeting at the very end of Haines\, there isn’t much parking there so grab any available parking spot you see when you’re on Haines or turn left on Apperson St to look for a spot. \nWe will meet at the gate at the end of Haines. Please keep in mind this is a residential neighborhood – keep any noise to a minimum. \n*** Allow yourself a few extra minutes to find parking and walk to the trailhead. \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 to 1000 ft. elevation gain \n4 – 5+ mile hike w/up to 1500 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. All participants take full responsibility for their own actions. If you choose to sign up for any Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup events\, you are releasing the Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and it’s organizers from all liability in case of possible injuries as stated in paragraph 6.2 of the Meetup “Terms of Service” located on the bottom of the Meetup website. Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience. \n****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

SUMMARY:Shooting the Core of the Milky Way (Joshua Tree National Park)
DESCRIPTION:It’s Milky Way season! And I’m shooting the Milky Way on Tuesday\, 05/18/2021. The location will be at Cholla Cactus Garden inside of Joshua Tree National Park\, where an L.A. astrophotography group went there this weekend under windy conditions. Having read their Meetup board\, they were still able to have a great night. But 05/18/2021 will have better shooting conditions than 05/15/2021 because the wind will be a lot weaker. \nThe plan (just like what the astrophotography group did): In case other than me are interested\, we will meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Denny’s parking lot\, at 56895 Twentynine Palms Highway\, Yucca Valley\, CA 92284. \nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/56895+Twentynine+Palms+Highway\,+Yucca+Valley\,+CA+92284/@34.1202533\,-116.4232492\,3a\,75y\,100.89h\,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1swo8zCvWELQfOCwUkm5L1yA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x80db27f6f274d007:0x253bd60d431afa30!8m2!3d34.1202343!4d-116.4231236 \nThen at 7:00 PM\, we head to the shooting location. \nWe go to the Cholla Cactus Garden through the Joshua Tree North Entrance. \nAfter entering the park\, we will drive for about 5 miles before turning left on Pinto Basin Road. After about 10 miles\, Cholla Cactus Garden will be on the right side. And the cactus garden is a short walk from the parking lot. Feel free to explore the garden to plan your shots. Note that there are no restrooms at this location. \nI plan to stay past midnight and into the early morning like what the astrophotography group did. But anyone who attends this event may choose to tailor one’s own schedule. \nVHC has done many hikes inside the Joshua Tree National Park. So\, please consider that there may be no cellular coverage in the area where we are going. For adequate preparation\, I recommend that one uses Google Maps with its offline feature. \nSky quality forecast near the vicinity: \nhttps://www.cleardarksky.com/c/JSAATCAkey.html?1 \nRecommended Items to Bring: \n-DSLR/mirrorless camera (I’m just bringing an APS-C sensor camera because I just gave away my Canon 5D Mark III full frame camera)-Lens (Preferably wide-angle and fast prime lens)-Tripod-Remote shutter release or intervalometer if one plans to use a star tracker and stack pictures-Lens warmer (in case conditions are too cold)-Camera batteries-Memory card-Lens blower-Headlamp/Red light-Trail/hiking shoes-Warm clothes-Food/water

SUMMARY:2-Day backpack of Heather Lake\, Emerald Lake\, and Pear Lake Trail via Watchtower
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis is a backpacking trip. We meet at the Lodgepole Visitor Center of Sequoia National Park as walk-in backpackers at 7:00 a.m. \nBut I will line up at 6:00 a.m. or earlier in the morning to secure a backpacking permit for 6. Based on the last time I did this trail on a weekend\, most likely we will get the permits because we are starting the hike on a weekday. Also\, it helps a lot when one lines up at the door of the visitor center very early in the morning. But if we don’t get permits\, we will hike the trail as a day hike\, which would still be a gorgeous hike. \nAlso\, May 20\, 2021 is still considered off-season. So\, we may even just need to self register without going through the trouble of getting permits. \nThe hike is only 12 miles on an out and back trail. But it is considered difficult because of the high altitude (highest elevation of 10\,610 ft.) and the elevation gain of 2\,900 ft. The trail we will use passes through Heather Lake and Emerald Lake via the Watchtower. \nHopefully\, posting this event very early will give time for people to train and prepare. \nDuration: 2 Days \nAllTrails info: \nhttps://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/heather-lake-emerald-lake-and-pear-lake-trail-via-watchtower-and-pear-lake-trails \nFor Safety: \nBring backpacking gear\, with provisions for 2 days. \nCOVID-19 RULES: \n1. This hike is limited to 6 participants.2. Social distancing should be observed on the trail and at the peak.3. Participants are required to carry a mask and wear it as much as practicable throughout the duration of the event. Masks are required when less than 6 feet from each other at the peak.4. Hikers should not attend this hike if they show any sign of COVID-19 symptoms (like: Fever or chills\, Cough\, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing\, Fatigue\, Muscle or body aches\, Headache\, New loss of taste or smell\, Sore throat\, Congestion or runny nose\, Nausea or vomiting\, and Diarrhea)5. Hugging and handshakes are discouraged. \nDirections: \nUse a map app and enter\, as follows: Lodgepole Visitor Center\, 63100 Lodgepole Rd\, Sequoia National Park\, CA 93262 \n******************************************************************* \nThe Fine Print \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)” ~Don T. \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. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY: \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETYI 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. All participants take full responsibility for their own actions. If you choose to sign up for any Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup events\, you are releasing the Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and it’s organizers from all liability in case of possible injuries as stated in paragraph 6.2 of the Meetup “Terms of Service” located on the bottom of the Meetup website. Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience.

SUMMARY:Ranch Overlook\, Old Boney and Hidden Valley Overlook trail
DESCRIPTION:https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/ranch-overlook-old-boney-and-hidden-valley-overlook-trail?u=i \nHello Fellow Hikers\,This is showing as a less traveled route in this area so I thought hmm why not check it out. The trail is rated easy but the route stops at a junction so we will add a little more mileage and continue the Hidden Valley Overlook trail to the end. I’m guessing this will put us at 6.0 miles with a little more elevation gain ( maybe 1\,000 at the most ) I have attached the AllTrails link for directions\, stats and photos….The pin map will take you to the area I have written the directions underneath the map or you can follow the AllTrails directions straight to the Meetup site. We will be following the AllTrails map from start to finish… \nTrail Out and backMiles about 6Elevation gain about 1.000Trail rated Easy..but will have some inclineDogs Sorry not allowed on this trail \nWe will always follow Jim’s Golden Rules:1) Hike your own hike2) Please stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up \nPlease remember to bring your face covering and all essentials needed for a hike. \nAnd last….The Organizer\, Assistant Organizer and Event host in this group are not professional guides. The function of the organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who signs up for a Event is responsible for his or her own safety and the safety of his or her guess

You can grab last minute supplies here\, if needed. Camprground is about a 40 minute drive from here. Directions will be messaged to you. \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).

SUMMARY:Cucamonga Peak
DESCRIPTION:Total Distance: ~12 milesTotal Ascent: ~4\,200 feetType: Out and backDifficulty: Strenuous NOT FOR BEGINNERSHighest Elevation: 8\,859 feetPace: Moderate (20-30 minutes per mile)Optional: Post hike refreshment at the Mount Baldy Lodge restaurant in the Village. \nJoin me on this beautiful hike to one of the major peaks in the San Gabriel mountains. \nThe group will naturally spread out on the trail\, but we will periodically regroup to ensure everyone is accounted for. If your style is to begin with the group\, but not stay with the group\, then this might not be the hike for you. Pace will be moderate (20-30 minutes per mile) and the trail is well marked. Know your limits. \nIcehouse Canyon is the hikers’ gateway to the eastern high country and the Cucamonga Wilderness. Its broad\, V shaped portal leads east from San Antonio Canyon\, 10 miles north of Mt. Baldy Village\, and climbs 2600′ to Icehouse Saddle\, a prominent gap on the great Telegraph Ontario Ridge. The saddle is a major trail junction\, with routes leading in four directions. This time we’ll take the Cucamonga Peak Trail. \nThis peak received it’s name from the nearby (1839) Cucamonga Rancho of Tiburcio Tapia. From a Shoshonean Indian rancheria Kukill-Mongo. The meaning of the name is obscure\, it could mean either “sandy place”\, “place of many springs”\, or “lewd woman” (from a legend that an Indian chief sent his wayward daughter to live on the peak). \nLegend has it that the magnificent cedar beams for Mission San Gabriel were cut in the canyon\, then laboriously dragged down to the lowland by oxen teams. For years it was known as Cedar Canyon (now the name for a tributary of Icehouse Canyon). The present name dates from the 1860s\, when an ice plant in the lower canyon supplied ice to valley residents. \nThe lower reaches of the canyon are dotted with private cabins. Once there were many more; the big flood of 1938 wreaked havoc here\, as it did in other canyons of the range. Today\, the boulder-strewn floor of Icehouse Canyon bears testimony to nature’s torrential fury. \nAs always\, know your limits\, bring ample quantities of water\, electrolytes\, a hat and sunscreen\, good hiking shoes and hiking poles will be helpful. \nPLEASE – Know your limits and abilities.

SUMMARY:Mt. Pinos afternoon hike (3 Peaks maximum from the Nordic Station)
DESCRIPTION:This used to be a 4-mile snow hike to Mr. Pinos hosted by Don T during the winter season. But I’m hosting it as a Spring conditioning hike\, which is also posted by VHC hiker Kim who’s hosting it in another hiking group. Just in case her group cancels due to cold weather\, I’m still going. Summer is just around the corner. And per recent Alltrails May 2021 trail reports\, microspikes and snow shoes are no longer required. \nStart time is 12:30 p.m. Please allow yourself time\, get there at 12:00 noon and bring layers. We will be on the trail by 12:30 p.m. \nTrail\, wide open road and easy to navigate \nWHAT: Afternoon hike. Flexible distance. \nWHERE: Mt. Pinos\, Los Padres Nat Forest \nMount Pinos (8\,831ft.) is the highest point in the entire Los Padres National Forest\, our state’s largest national forest. The Los Padres’ pristine\, wind-swept beaches\, wild rivers and canyons\, oak-studded coastal mountains and thickly forested alpine regions form a microcosm of the beautiful landscapes California has become known throughout the world for. Indeed\, Mount Pinos is a special place. It is crowned with a rich forest of white and noble fir\, ponderosa and Jeffrey pine\, as well as\, lodgepole and limber pine near the summit. Pinos is one of Southern California’s premiere destinations for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing because of its rolling\, open terrain\, excellent snow and lovely views. Add the factor of easy\, paved road access to the trailhead parking lot at 8\,300 feet\, and you can see why Mount Pinos is so popular with alpine enthusiasts. In less than an hour\, you can be standing on top of a mountain that is nearly 9\,000 feet tall with panoramic views of the Central Valley\, the Southern Sierra\, the Tehachipi mountains and the San Gabriels’. Even the shimmering Pacific and the distant Channel Islands can be seen on a clear day! This is a great place to take in the enormity and diversity of the Southern California landscape. \nMILEAGE: 10.3 miles maximum. But hikers may turn back upon reaching Mt. Pinos (3.6 miles)\, Sawmill Mountain or Grouse Mountain. (See detailed map in the Photos tab) \nABILITY: Advanced Beginners to Advanced -everyone is welcome! \nDETAILS: If you hike or exercise and consider yourself an advanced beginner\, you will be just fine on this trip. Park your car at the road-end parking lot on the Mount Pinos Rd. There is a considerable climb on this hike going to Sawmill Mountain. If at anytime you are wishing to take a break\, are feeling light-headed or thirsty\, know your limits. You can head back or find a spot to rest. As always\, know your own capabilities and be prepared for an adventurous\, exploratory outing. We are only organizers\, and are not held responsible or liable. \nWHAT TO BRING: Layers for the upper body-so you can strip\, synthetics so you are dry\, hats\, sunglasses\, or goggles\, gloves\, etc….. Sunblock and lip block at this altitude is very important! Also bring food and snacks for the trail & lunch\, plenty of water\, and CAMERA! Extra change of clothes for after\, kept in your car – makes the ride back much more cozy. \nDIRECTIONS: From Los Angeles\, take I-5 north over the Tejon Summit to the Frazier Park exit. Turn left at the freeway stop\, onto Frazier Mountain Park Road. Head north passing the town of Frazier Park and follow the road 7 miles to Lake of the Woods. Continue straight onto Cuddy Valley Road and continue on Cuddy Valley/Mount Pinos Highway approx 4 miles until McGill campground(snow gate)\, and about another 4 miles to the end of the road at Chula Vista campground. Dead-ends at the Nordic Hut parking area\, which is about 15-20 miles up the road from the I-5 freeway. Park here – – Meeting area. \n**Please note the driving time it will take to arrive to the meeting spot/trail head. Be cautious on these roads\, consider carpooling. You will not need a 4×4 unless we get hit by a major storm From the I-5 to the campground is about 25 minutes – – please give yourself plenty of time…get there a little early and play in the snow! \n**Adventure passes are required for parking anywhere on the mountain. **Carpooling is strongly encouraged! \nClick Me for more info on the area (http://www.frazierparkinfo.com/visit/sports_recreation.aspx#Hiking_Biking_Horseback_Riding) \n******************************************************************* \nThe Fine Print \nPLEASE – Know your limits and abilities.

SUMMARY:Satwiwa - Upper Sycamore Canyon - Old Boney - Fossil Trail Loop
DESCRIPTION:This site was home to the Chumash\, Spanish Rancho El Conejo\, and modern ranching and farming operations. For many years\, the Santa Monica Mountains sustained the Chumash and Tongva/Gabrielino cultures. Sycamore Canyon\, which cuts through Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa and Point Mugu State Park\, was part of a Chumash trade route. Satwiwa\, which means “the bluffs\,” was the name of a nearby Chumash village. \n \nWe’ll hike through serene hills\, with views of Boney Mountain. Along the way there is a seasonal water fall and some hand-sized fossils. We’ll take a snack break at the Danielson Monument. \nThe hike is about 8.5 miles with 2\,000 feet total ascent and is rated DIFFICULT due to terrain. See my hike rating guide: https://www.hikingwithdean.com/hike-rating-guide/ \nDirections to Trailhead \nPark on Potrero Rd. at the end of Wendy Dr. in Newbury Park

We’ll make our way up a steep trail off the main fireroad and loop around to the Wishing Tree where we’ll take a snack break and watch the sunset. \nMoonrise is at 8:39 pm \nThis write up is Don’s: \nThe Stats \nDistance: 5.5 miles \nElevation Gain: 1800 feet. \nRating: Moderate 5/10 \nTrail: Fire Road and Single Track w/very little shade. \nDuration: 2.5 to 3 hours \nThe Plan \nSome portions of the trails will be steep & challenging\, but reward us with some great views of the Burbank and Glendale areas. From Stough we’ll head up a fire road and then take a side trail by the remains of what was at one time a Boy Scout camp. From this point we’ll head over to the top of Wildwood Canyon Park via the Verdugo Mountainway. However\, we’ll do our best to stay OFF of the Verdugo Mountainway which will require some steep ascents via side trails along the way. Once at Wildwood we’ll head down to complete the loop to the cars. The Wildwood Canyon trail is a steep descent down into the canyon. From the bottom of Wildwood we’ll head back to the cars on asphalt roads going around the De Bell Golf Course. \nThe Area \nAbove the top of the Upper De Bell Golf Course lies a valid reason to hike over the mountains. At the top of Walnut Avenue\, near the Stough Nature Center\, fire roads lead to the Verdugo (Wildwood) Mountainway Trail. \nThis is also referred to the “water tower” or radio station trail\, as the crest of the trail comes over the top of the mountain from the back fire road into Wildwood park. The Verdugo Hills Mountainway is an extensive trail system migrating over the mountain toward Glendale for a brisk hike and back towards Pass Avenue much farther north in Burbank for a robust hiker’s pace. \nThe trails\, which extend from the Sun Valley area North of Burbank to the mountainous Glendale’ adjacent Brand Park can test the strongest hiker. Bring water\, a cellphone\, sunblock and a hat on sunny days. A strong stick might be excellent leverage through steep and narrow rocky switchbacks\, especially the north trail of Wildwood leading up from the water tower split. Restrooms of a distinctly primitive variety are located inside the nature center and at the base of the Wildwood lower and middle trailheads. \nThe other trails stemming from the Burbank Nature Center and the crest of the upper Wildwood paths lead northeast to the communities of Tujunga and La Crescenta. \nHiking and mountain biking are permitted on the fire roads. Stay to the side of the road consistently to avoid dust and being hit by speedy or careless bikers. Burbank hikers should wear a strip of bright clothing in case they get lost or fall into neighboring brush. Hillsides are steep\, sandy and uncertain\, wear shoes with traction. \nThe smaller trails are for hiking only and along with the fire roads lead to spectacular views of the San Fernando valley. The base of the Wildwood Canyon Park and mountain trails have grassy and cool canyon picnic areas. Unfortunately\, the peace and serenity is clouded at times by the shooting range right near by. Paved roads run up the narrow canyon road to the base of the water tower fire road trailhead. \nThe Stough Canyon Nature Center has an exhibit hall with educational and interpretive displays about the natural history of the area and its plant life. It features a small nature library\, a focal classroom\, and an environmentally congruous outdoor amphitheater. The Stough Center provides information on local habitat and the natural history of the area. Visitors to Burbank\, residents and hikers come for the nature workshops\, classes and seasonal day camps. \nStough Canyon Nature Center was named after Oliver J. Stough\, who donated land to the City for public parkland that includes Stough Park\, Stough Canyon Nature Center\, and the Starlight Bowl. The Nature Center was dedicated in 2001 and has an exhibit hall with educational and interpretive displays\, small library\, classroom\, and outdoor amphitheater. \nDirections \nIn Burbank from Glenoaks Blvd you want to take E Walnut Ave toward the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains. You’ll go past the Da Bell Golf Course and since the gates to the Stough Nature Center close relatively early we’ll meet on Walnut just before the park entrance. Parking is free and plentiful. The map above is accurate. \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. All participants take full responsibility for their own actions. If you choose to sign up for any Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup events\, you are releasing the Valencia Hiking Crew Meetup Group and it’s organizers from all liability in case of possible injuries as stated in paragraph 6.2 of the Meetup “Terms of Service” located on the bottom of the Meetup website. Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience.

SUMMARY:Long Canyon - Back to Front
DESCRIPTION:4.5 miles\, 1000′ gain\, Easy Intermediate \nThere are several extended inclines and a couple short but steep climbs. Fit beginners can do this hike\, but they may be cursing some of the extended and steeper climbs. That’s OK\, because we’ll be stopping at various points to regroup and this is not a conditioning hike. It is a social hike (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781). \n \nStarting from the Long Canyon trailhead parking lot\, we’ll immediate cross the street to the north side\, move along the street for about 1/4 mile\, then head up the back side for 3/4 mile until we come to a bench. We’ll regroup there and catch our breath before heading along the ridge and back down to the road for about a mile. \n \nWe’ll regroup again\, then cross the road and head along it back towards the parking lot for about 1000′\, where we’ll turn left to enter into the front side. We’ll follow a fire road for 1.3 miles until just before it dead ends\, where we’ll make a left (not right!) and head 1000′ to the 5-points intersection. \nWe’ll make a hard right\, go another 1000′\, and stop at a bench to have a snack share (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772) event. After\, we continue 3/4 mile down to the parking lot. \nA picture of the route is posted as part of the description. \nInteresting Notes: \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. \n \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. \n \nHike \nDistance: 4.5 milesGain: 1000Distribution: A couple extended inclines and a couple shorter but steeper inclines.Difficulty (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781): Easy Intermediate.Shape: Loop\, clockwise.Pace: 2.0 mph.Trail Type: Fire road\, single and double track. Areas of sand\, gravel\, and rock\, some of it rugged.Trail Variations:The beginning is a flat walk.The middle will have 2 extended inclines of about 1000 steps and a couple shorter inclines that are steeper but only about 150 steps.The end is downhill\, but somewhat steep.Duration: 3.5 hoursDogs: Yes. Leash as required by law.Restrooms: NoDrinking Fountains: No.Parking: Free in the paved parking area in front of the trail head. \nWhat to bring:1 liter of water for every 3 miles.Snacks and/or beverages to share (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772).Hiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.Flashlight or headlamp.Sunscreen and/or hat as needed. \nHosting \nRoute: The host knows the route.Navigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed.Hike type: Social.We 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. See “How hard is this hike” in the discussion section (LINK (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781)). \nHere is a picture of the route. Those that wish to return immediately instead of hanging around during the snack and beverage share\, should memorize the below route so they can safely return on their own. \n \nBelow is a photo of the route (): \n \nStops:The host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. This hike will include an extended stop for a snack and beverage share (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772) 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 baking soda. 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:Sometimes 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. If others follow\, it is group hijacking: Incorrect routes may be taken and group splitting may occur. Please don’t do this. \nDirections: \nWhere of 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:North CA-23\, exit Olsen Rd.Right (east) on Olsen Rd.\, which becomes Madera Rd.\, for 2 miles.Right (south) on N. Wood Ranch Pkwy.\, which becomes S. Wood Ranch Pkwy.\, for 2 miles.Right at dead end (intersection with Long Canyon Rd.) and immediate left into parking lot.Trailhead at the opposite corner. \nFrom CA-118 and CA-27:West CA-118\, exit 23 onto 1st St.Left (south) on 1st St.\, which becomes Long Canyon Rd.\, for 5 miles.Cross at dead end (intersection with S. Wood Ranch Pkwy.) and immediate left into parking lot.Trailhead at the opposite corner. \nCoordinates of trailhead: 34.228330\, -118.803130Address of a nearby house: 597 Shadow Ln.\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065 \nArrive early\, because sometimes the parking lot gets full. If this happens\, we’ll need another 15 minutes to carpool from a nearly parking lot. \nDisclaimer / Release of Liability: https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/pages/29622459/Is_Hiking_Dangerous/
