SUMMARY:Bell Canyon Loop
DESCRIPTION:My Bell Canyon Loop starts and ends at the mouth of Bell Canyon. Its a little-known loop and I haven’t seen any other meetup group do it — so you are in luck today! \n👉 Hike is about 4 miles with 900′ total ascent. Most of that is during a one-mile stretch\, thus I am rating this hike as DIFFICULT due to terrain. See my hike rating guide here: https://www.meetuphikes.com/hike-rating-guide/ \nDIRECTIONS:\nHead toward the address given above but instead of turning on Woodglade Ln\, just park on Highlander Rd. We meet near the corner of Highlander Rd and Woodglade Ln. by the ball field \n✔The Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers. The function of the member or organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who shows up for a trip/meetup (and their guest or guests) is responsible for his or her own safety. By attending a hike\, or any other event organized by this group\, you are acknowledging that you and any guests that you bring are aware of the risks\, dangers and hazards associated with the activity and freely accept and fully assume all such risks\, dangers and hazards\, and further agree to release and discharge the Organizers\, Members of the Hiking With Dean Meetup Group from and against any and all liability arising from your participation in the group activities per our ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND LIABILITY WAIVER (see https://www.meetuphikes.com/liability-waiver) and Section 6.2 of the Meetup.com Terms of Service.

SUMMARY:Paradise Falls - Moonridge - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:3.3 miles\, 800′ gain\, fit beginner. \nA hike to Paradise Falls is one of the most popular things to do for those visiting Simi Valley\, yet a lot of people that live nearby rarely make this fun hike or perhaps have never done it. There are several paths one can take to the falls. \nThis one is often described as “easy” but I rate it easy-intermediate because there are a few extended inclines of 1000 steps and there are several hills of about 100 steps that are somewhat steep. There are also a couple “stair cases” made of railroad ties that are up to 4 stories. \nThe waterfall is flowing fully even during our drought conditions. It is fed by urban run-off\, surface water waste created by urbanization. It feeds into a small pond\, where I see people swimming and diving on occasion\, but this water is not safe or legal to swim in due to health risks and debris hidden below the surface. \nThis is Mark the Bold’s Moonridge loop route. \nWe’ll be starting from the tennis court parking lot 4 blocks east of the trail head parking lot and across the road. \nWe’ll head about 100 steps north and go down and into an under-street tunnel to cross the road. We’ll turn right out of the tunnel\, and follow this path around. \nThere are several splits of this trail\, so follow the group. The trail leads through a thick canopy to the bottom of the steps that lead to the main parking lot. We’ll regroup there. \nWe’ll continue along the Moonridge trail\, following it around\, crossing a fire road\, and make a left at the North Teepee trail for about 500′ to a large Teepee. We can take a few pictures\, there’s a drinking fountain\, and we can rest a moment. Then we’ll continue down to the waterfall and hang out for a short while. \nTo continue\, we’ll head partly back up and across the back side of the waterfall along Wildwood Canyon trail. After about another 200 yards\, we’ll come to couple picnic tables on the right where we’ll share snacks and beverages (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772). \nReturning EarlyFor those that wish to head back instead of hanging around for the entire snack share\, you are responsible for finding your own way back. You can either follow the posted route and map\, or take this alternate route: left at the next junction\, a relatively steep up for 200 yds. back to the Teepee\, turn right and continue 1/2 mile until it dead-ends\, then turn right again. After 1/2 mile\, you will reach the trail head parking lot. Turn right at the road for 4 block and cross the street to find the tennis court parking lot. \nContinuing with the groupWe’ll continue for 1/3 mile along the Wildwood Canyon trail\, cross a bridge\, make a left\, and follow the Indian Creek trail for 1 mile until arriving back through the tunnel and back to the parking lot. \nIf you are not following the leader on the return\, you should know:• After crossing the bridge and turning left\, you will come to a creek. We’ll be taking a sharp turn to the left a few feet before the second creek. It’s easy to miss and almost doesn’t even look like a trail. \nInteresting Notes: \nYou will see several entities of note: \nPrickly Pear Cactus \nInside and fruit are edible. Remove needles and scrape to remove hairs\, cut top off\, hollow out to make water container. Burn or scrape off needles – even stones can be used if you don’t have a knife. Fruit peels easily. Eat seeds and all. Use duct tape to remove thorns from hands. \nSugar Bush \nLooks almost like Laurel Sumac. Pointy leaves\, which is one way to tell it apart from the Lemonade berry. Has fuzzy red berries in long clumps that can be used to make a lemonade like drink. Sap from the fruit can be used as a sweetener. Leaves are edible. Can only be found in the California hills. \nDirections: \nWildwood Park635 W Avenida De Los ArbolesThousand Oaks\, CA 91360 \nFrom the 118: \nCA-118 west to CA-23.Continue south on CA-23 to exit 15 for 4.8 miles\, Avenida de los ArbolesTurn right (east) on Avenida de los Arboles for 3.3 miles until 4 blocks before it ends. There will be tennis courts on the right with a parking lot. \nFrom CA-23: \nCA-23 to exit 15\, Avenida de los ArbolesEast on Avenida de los Arboles for 3.3 miles until it ends.Trail head on the left.Turn right (east) on Avenida de los Arboles for 3.3 miles until 4 blocks before it ends.

Check weather conditions\, dress accordingly & 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 & fun. \nVHC HIKE RATING SCALERating a hike is subjective\, meaning the difficulty of a hike will be in direct relation to how often you hike & the type of hike you prefer.

A great hike will have all of these! \n1 – A long walk2 – 4 mile hike w/little elevation gain (E.G.)3 – 5 mile hike w/up to 1000 ft. E.G.4 – 5+ mile hike w/up to 1500 ft. E.G. (heart rate increases at times)5 – 7+ mile hike w/over 1500 ft. E.G. (heart rate increasing even more at times)6 – 7+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. E.G. (at times you might be trying to remember how to perform CPR)7 – 5+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. E.G. (at times you might be muttering expletives to yourself)8 – 10+ mile hike w/over 3500 ft. E.G. (at times you might be angry with the hike leader)9 – 10+ mile hike w/over 5000 ft. E.G.
