SUMMARY:Evening Hike to Murphy Ranch in Rustic Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nFor those that have never heard about it\, the ranch is allegedly a 1930s hideout where NAZI/Third Reich sympathizers could sequester themselves until German rule had been established in the USA \nThe property was developed by Winona and Norman Stephens and a German national by the name of Herr Schmidt. The design implemented was an installation of several buildings\, fuel tanks\, and multiple massive cisterns. The entire complex\, according the plans of Herr Schmidt\, was to be self-sustaining even if it suffered years of isolation from the outside society \nThe FBI raided the ranch in 1941 and that was the end of that until the 50’s when an artist’s colony was established. \nMy research indicates that this is an urban legend. There may be no Herr Schmidt\, it was not a Nazi compound\, and there was no raid. It is true that Winona and Norman Stephens built a self-sustaining ranch here. Presumably they were convinced by a Herr Schmidt\, who may have been a Nazi sympathizer\, to build it due to a belief that German National Socialism would reach US soil. But there is absolutely no evidence that it was a Nazi hideout\, compound or anything like that. \nHere is the 1975 book\, now a collector’s item\, that popularized the whole story: \n\n\nHike will be about 4-5 miles with moderate elevation gain. Here are some pics from the last two versions: \n[av_gallery ids=’19996\,19997\,19998\,20000\,20001\,20002\,20003\,20004\,20007\,20009\,20012\,20014\,20015\,20016\,20017\,20019\,20020\,20021\,20023\,20025\,20026\,20029\,20030\,20035\,20036′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’square’ columns=’6′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’avia_lazyload’ av_uid=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nDirections to Trailhead\nFrom Sunset Boulevard\, 3 miles west of the 405\, turn north at the light onto Capri Drive. After 1/3 mile continue through the traffic circle\, remaining on Capri Drive for another 1/3 mile until it comes to and end at Casale Road. Sullivan Ridge Fire road begins to the left but do not turn left on Casale Rd. Find street parking to the right or on an adjacent roads. After you park\, walk to the end of Casale Rd. This is where we will meet and check in. \nYou will be parking in a residential neighborhood with parking restrictions — pay attention to signs. \nInteractive Map: http://goo.gl/maps/r7nN8

SUMMARY:😈Devils Canyon Loop - Special Edition
DESCRIPTION:Literally step out of the Valley and into another world. \nOur hike begins in Devils Canyon near the north end of Topanga Canyon Blvd. Devils Canyon with its spectacular rock formations created 80 million years ago in a marine environment makes for a haunting yet beautiful hike. Live Oak and Willow trees fill the canyon providing a shady hike. Sandstone geology of the wildest kind is found. There are many shallow stream crossings along the way. \nHowever\, we will be saving shady Devils Canyon for the second half of the hike. Shortly after entering the canyon we will turn west and up\, out of the canyon and over to Johnson’s Motorway. Along the way we will stop at an old burned down ranch that once belonged to Mimi Couch of Simi Valley. We continue on to Rocky Peak Motorway where we turn north to the top of Devils Canyon\, hike down the shady canyon and complete the loop. \nI can find only these (hot) July 2013 pics of the same hike. I’ll look for more…Click on pic to enlarge \n  \n[av_gallery ids=’20873\,20872\,20871\,20870\,20869\,20868\,20867\,20865\,20864\,20863\,20862\,20861\,20859\,20858\,20857\,20856\,20855\,20854\,20853\,20852\,20851\,20850\,20849\,20771′ style=’thumbnails’ preview_size=’portfolio’ crop_big_preview_thumbnail=’avia-gallery-big-crop-thumb’ thumb_size=’square’ columns=’8′ imagelink=’lightbox’ lazyload=’animations_off’ av_uid=’av-jvei2c3k’ admin_preview_bg=”] \n  \nEstimated Mileage: 13\nEstimated Total Ascent: 2300 feet \nDirections: Take the 101 or 118 to Topanga Canyon Blvd. When on Topanga stay in the right lane to proceed under the 118. At the end of Topanga make a left on Poema Place for about 50-100 yards and park on street. \n⚠I haven’t done this one for a while. Expect the unexpected

SUMMARY:🌻The Pentachaeta Loop
DESCRIPTION:This one is another HWD original! I put this one together back in 2009 after exploring some Westlake Village use trails. With combination of use trails\, some minor rock scrambling and views of two local lakes\, the result is probably the best hike in Westlake Village. \nDetails\nThe Pentachaeta Trail\, the main feature of Triunfo Creek Park\, is named after the Pentachaeta lyonii\, a federally-listed endangered flower found in the park. The yellow\, daisy-like flower is found only in Southern California\, and blooms between April and June. \nWe will join each end of the Pentachaeta Trail with the ridgeline that divides Triunfo and Lobo Canyons to make a 5.5-mile loop. Along the way we will have views of the Las Virgenes Reservoir and Westlake Reservoir (see if you can spot them in the photos below). We may do some peakbagging too! There is a total ascent of about 1\,400 ft with 700′ of it in the first 1.5 miles\, some of it rocky. A trekking pole (for a couple of downhill sections) and sturdy hiking boots recommended. The hike is more strenuous than it sounds. \nEnjoy these pics from previous adventures.

I’m expecting some of the hidden trails I use to be more overgrown (and hidden) than usual.
