Wear long pants and long sleeves.  I haven’t visited the area since 2016….’nuff said \nWe will begin by hiking northwest on the Upper Zuma Canyon segment of the Backbone Trail. Our first stop will be Newton Canyon Falls\, a beautiful waterfall in a lush\, forested grotto with moss-covered rocks. \n \nNewton Falls is just the appetizer. Our main course will be Upper Zuma Falls. While on the main trail it can be seen from the distance. However\, back in 2010\, we did an exploratory hike and found a path to the base of the falls. Although we will be hiking off-trail to get to the falls\, the way is relatively clear of obstacles and mostly level \nHere is a shot of Upper Zuma Falls from the Backbone Trail \n \nIts form becomes more obvious with a zoom lens \n \nAt the base of the falls.

SUMMARY:Simi Peak: Lang Ranch Loop
DESCRIPTION:****Waitlisted\, limited to small group. Must follow CDC guidelines and you must have hiked with us previouslyThe plan is to take one of Don’s scramble routes to Simi Peak. \nNot for beginners/no sweepShould you join us\, you must be okay with scrambling\, possible bushwhacking\, loose rocks\, etc. \nWrite up is Don’sThe StatsDistance: 7 milesRating: 5/10Elevation gain: 1700 feet \nThe Trail: A loop trail w/ some minor exploration\, single track and some uneven rock surfaces. \nThe Plan \nNO shuttle as we’ve done in the past. From our meeting point on Lang Ranch Pkwy\, we’ll head in on the Albertson Fireroad before heading straight up a “trail” I recently scouted to the Secret Pasage to Simi Peak (aka Rabbit Ridge). This will put us just below Simi Peak. Once at the peak\, we’ll check out the awesome views of the surrounding areas before heading back to the cars. Our return\, and much simpler route\, will take us through China Flat and than back to Lang Ranch Pkwy via the Albertson Fireroad. \nNote: This is the more rugged approach to Simi Peak and will have some rome rock scrambling and uneven trails. \nFrom Simi Peak (the highest point in the area)\, on a clear day\, you can see the Simi Valley\, Conejo Valley\, San Fernando Valley\, Oxnard Plains\, Pacific Ocean and a few of the Channel Island \nThe Story \nThe Chumash Indians lived in these canyons for thousands of years. Many trails within the canyons were original Chumash trails before they were expanded by cattle ranchers. In this large expanse of habitat\, deer\, bobcats\, coyotes and rabbits roam. Stroll to Sulphur Springs or hike to the top of Simi Peak and view the cities you’ve left behind. \nToday\, a great diversity of plants and animals live in the canyons. Wide-spread oaks and outcrops of sedimentary rock provide excellent nesting sites for owls\, hawks and other raptors (birds of prey). The abundance of raptors indicates a large prey population\, especially small mammals and reptiles. In more rugged areas where cattle didn’t graze\, we can still find a variety of native plant communities\, including chaparral\, coastal sage scrub and riparian woodlands. \nDirections \nFrom the East\, West & South – take the 101 toward Thousand Oaks. Exit at Westlake Boulevard and turn north (away from the ocean). Drive 4.1 miles and turn right on the Lang Ranch Parkway. Continue 0.8 miles and park where the Lang Ranch Parkway makes a sharp left. \nFrom the North – take the 23 south toward Thousand Oaks. Exit at the Avenida De Los Arboles exit and turn left (east) on Avenida De Los Arboles. Drive 1.5 miles and turn right on Westlake Boulevard. Drive 0.2 miles and turn left on the Lang Ranch Parkway. Continue 0.8 miles and park where the Lang Ranch Parkway makes a sharp left. \nParking is free.****************************************The 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 VHC 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 VHC Meetup events\, you are releasing the VHC 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.**********************************************************************************

Calabasas Peak (2163 ft) towers over Red Rock Canyon\, Old Topanga Canyon and bowl-shaped Cold Creek Canyon. From the top there are spectacular views into Ventura County\, the Pacific Ocean and San Fernando and Simi valleys. \nWe’ll begin at the Secret Trail (aka the Calabasas-Cold Creek Trail) and wind our way through shaded ravines\, dense chaparral and sandstone outcrops until we reach Calabasas Peak Motorway. \n \nHere we throw away the hiking book (I lose so many books this way) and instead of taking the Motorway to Calabasas Peak\, we’ll go off-trail along some use trails.

SUMMARY:4rd Annual ❤️ Day - Secret Trail/Topanga Lookout LOLLIPOP
DESCRIPTION:Now a Valentine’s Day tradition – but this time with a COVID safe twist! Attendance will be EXTREMELY LIMITED to just a handful of people – waitlist only – priority given to those I’ve been hiking with during the pandemic and who I know respect the rules regarding masks and distancing. Hopefully next year we’ll be able to resume normal activities for the 5th anniversary of this fun and silly hike. \nWe will start and end our trek from a secret location and head up toward Calabasas Peak. Once we conquer the peak\, we will head down to the junction with Red Rock\, where we begin our ridge line scramble through beautiful rock formations up to the Topanga Lookout\, amazing views from the Pacific to the Santa Susana Mountains. \nAt the Topanga lookout we will rest\, check out the current graffiti\, enjoy the magnificent views and have some lunch\, before we continue down the Stunt High Trail. Then it’s back up Calabasas Peak Motorway (we’ll skip the peak and stick to the fire road this time) and back down to the cars \nThe Stats: \nDistance: 13+ miles \nElevation Gain: ~3000 ft. \nDuration: 7+ hours \nDifficultly: Intermediate \nTrail: Single track\, fire road and class 1\,2 rock climbs \nParking Permit: Not required \nTrailhead: Meeting location will be sent to those who are moved off the wait list.

SUMMARY:The Grand Canyon (not that one)
DESCRIPTION:WAITLISTED to small group. MUST follow CDC guidelines \nDistance: 12 miles round tripRating: 9/10\, due to exploratoryElevation gain: 2500 ft.Trail: Lollipop route\, single track\, asphalt\, fire roads and no trail in the GC. \nAdditional Notes: I will only allow people that I have been hiking with during quarantine AND to those I have hiked this trail with before. There will be some bushwhacking and butt sliding. Long Pants? Long sleeve shirts? Band Aid re-supply? \nThe Plan \nBelow the slopes of Mount Lowe\, the “Grand Canyon” is modest by the standards of the San Gabriels and certainly bears no resemblance to the famous ditch of the same name. The uphill leg of this adventure follows the path visitors once took on the Mount Lowe RR to get to the Alpine Tavern where our entry into the Grand Canyon begins. The off-trail hike down the length of the Grand involves the descent of several steep but short earthen slopes (most safely accomplished by sliding on one’s rear end)\, but is otherwise a quite straightforward off-trail hike. It involves a pleasant wooded canyon where there are several human artifacts of interest. At its terminus the Grand discharges into Millard Canyon where we’ll pick up a trail back up to the Sunset Ridge trail and back towards Echo. Once at Echo we can either take the E-Pole or standard route down depending on how “beat up” we are. \nThe Story \nThe portion of the Mt. Lowe Railway beyond Echo Mountain was the Alpine Division\, which took visitors up to the Alpine Tavern for food and accommodations. The Alpine Division\, according to the Pacific Electric Railway’s Employee’s Timetable\, was 3.57 miles in length\, and her longest stretch of straight track just 225’. Yet another highlight on the Alpine Division was Circular Bridge\, about the halfway point to Alpine Tavern from Echo Mountain. This engineering fete was the brainchild of engineer David Macpherson\, where the track completes a full circle and doubles back on itself at a higher level. Those that remember riding on this route in its heyday say this was the scariest part of the ride. Cars would periodically stop for souvenir shots. Upon arriving at Crystal Springs and Alpine Tavern\, the terminus of the Alpine Division\, one could have a bite to eat and stay the night. Other amusements in the area included hiking or horseback riding to the summit of Mount Lowe\, billiards\, miniature golf\, tennis\, viewing the silver fox farm\, hiking up to Inspiration Point\, riding the famous One Man and a Mule Railway\, or just mingling with the visitors around the great fireplace. \nDirections: Parking is limited so plann on arriving on-time. If you click the link above\, the actual meeting spot is where Chaney Trail intersects with Mt. Lowe Rd. \nTo the Chaney Trail Gate: Exit the 210 fwy in Pasadena at Fair Oaks and go north to Loma Alta Dr. Turn left here and then turn right on Chaney Trail (flashing yellow light overhead). Take Chaney Trail to the top\, you’ll see a gate to your right. Park here\, but do not block the gate. continuing down the road past where the gate is will take you down to parking for Millard Campground. We are not meeting down there. \nThis location does require a National Forest Adventure Pass for parked vehicles. These passes can be purchased at most ranger stations (if open) in the area of our hike\, most sporting goods\, convenience stores and gas stations. The cost is $5/day or $30/yr. When buying an annual pass for $30 you can also buy an additional annual pass for $5. Splitting this fee with someone is the most economical way to get the passes. A National Parks Pass can also be used for parking as well and should have come with a rear view mirror hanger. \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:Hail to the Trail: Presidents' Day Hike at Reagan Ranch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Scroll down to rsvp[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][vc_message message_box_color=”danger”]PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING WHENEVER POSSIBLE\, ESPECIALLY AT TRAIL HEAD AND BREAK SPOTS. 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 Classic! \nDuring the 1950s\, when Ronald Reagan hosted TV’s “Death Valley Days\,” he wanted a more rural retreat than his home in Pacific Palisades. So he bought a 305-acre ranch in the hills of Malibu as a place to raise thoroughbred horses and dubbed it “Yearling Row.” \n \nThe site was owned by President Reagan between 1957 and 1967\, before he was elected Governor of California. Prior to the Woolsey fire\, the Reagan Ranch property still had the original barn and stables\, which were used as the park maintenance facility. \nTrails loop through rolling meadowlands and grand old oaks and connect with the main part of the state park. We’ll use a combination of trails — Yearling\, Deer Leg\, Lookout\, Crags Road and Cage Canyon — to explore Reagan Country and the heart of the park. \nWe’ll also be visiting the exterior set for the long-running television show M*A*S*H. The medic tents have been removed\, but the location is still recognizable\, providing a rich experience for hikers. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBetween the MASH set and the ranch we’ll enjoy a short snack break at Century Lake. Part of the famous jump into the river by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Paul Newman & Robert Redford) was done by stuntmen at Century Lake (with plenty of Hollywood magic helping out) because the river in Colorado seen in the film wasn’t deep enough to support such a high jump. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nOn our return to the ranch we’ll take a side trip to a scenic vista point at the top of Lake View Trail will It will provide us a beautiful view of Malibou Lake and the surrounding mountains. Reagan was the honorary mayor of Malibou Lake in 1953. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis hike is sponsored by Amazon – https://amzn.to/2GnCP0a \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS APPX 6 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,050 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM.

SUMMARY:Tapo Canyon Trail Evening Hike
DESCRIPTION:Come join me Tuesday\, February 16 for an easy intermediate evening hike. \nI hike for conditioning so those that join should feel comfortable hiking 2 to 2.5 miles per hour. We may stop briefly to catch our breath at the top of the hill and to regroup if we need to and maybe a brief break at about the halfway point.If you are a beginner or advanced and want to start with us and hike at your own pace just let us know at the beginning of the hike so I can provide directions on where to turn as there will not be a sweep. \nWe will not be visiting the tar pits this time. You are welcome to go to the tar pits on your own if you want to extend the hike and know the way\, just let me know. I prefer to keep it simple and just do the loop at this time. \nIf you sign up and then decide you cannot make it please take yourself off the sign up so that someone else can join in your place\, since we are limiting the group size to 10 at this time. \nDistance: 4.3 MilesElevation Gain: 698 feetDifficulty: Intermediate due to pace and steepness\, loose gravelDogs: NoRestrooms: NoWater Fountain: NoParking: Free street parking\, just note there are some no parking signs and do not park there!Trail: Lolypop/Loop trailSunset: 5:40pm (bring a flashlight or headlamp) it will be darkWeather: Heat over 85 degrees (at 6)\, Santa Ana Winds over 12mph or rain cancels the hike (I won’t hike in those conditions). \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes are in the area on the trail so be mindful where you step\, a slip-‘n-fall is always possible so wear proper shoes\,/use poles if you prefer\, poison oak may also be on the trail so please watch what you brush up against! \nBring:Flashlight/headlamp and a light layer in case you get cold.A personal snack if you have not gotten to eat dinner so you have some energy to hike. \nLOTS of H20 is always recommended.

SUMMARY:Western Plateau Power Pole Hike
DESCRIPTION:Come and Join me on a Quick Paced Evening Workout hike!I must be honest here. I have not hiked this hike for over a year but have hiked it many times.

Take Rancho north to the end\, turn left on Conejo Center Drive. There is a sort of parking area right next to the trailhead but I do not trust that it won’t get locked while we are hiking in the evening\, so park on the street.When turning left\, park on the street near the Rancho/Conejo Dr intersection if front of the Utilities/CNG Filling Station place. \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.
