SUMMARY:Los Pinetos Trail 7 mile or 9 Mile (to Peak / Antennas)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday October 02\, 2022 : Los Pinetos Trial to Wilson Saddle\, or on to Los Pinetos Peak (the Antennas)\, Both are Out and Back \n** IF RAIN IS FALLING AT TRAILHEAD THIS HIKE WILL BE CANCELED ** \nHike: Meet at 7:15 AM to head up trail at 7:30 AM (details below) \nDISTANCE:\n7 miles Total\, Out and Back style (i.e. the same way) to saddlel\n9 miles Total\, Out and Back style (i.e. the same way) to Los Pinetos Peak (the Antennas) \nGAIN: 1800′ \nRATING: Moderate + (need some hiking experience) \nDURATION (Approx.): ~ 3.5 hours hiking \nDESCRIPTION:\nThis hike is a good standby hike. The area has recovered after the Sand Fire\, almost 7 years ago\, especially the beautiful forested top half\, so it is definitely worth a re-visit.\nThis hike is all gain to the top (especially the heart thumping first mile) and downhill all the way back. We climb on single track through beautiful chaparral (toyan\, california bay\, yuccas and oaks). Eventually after a mile of oak forest and green ferns\, we emerge on the Santa Clara Truck trail at Wilson Saddle. Depending on weather\, we will snack here or at Antenna. There is also a restroom at the saddle and a picnic table. Most folks will want to go to the peak but if you just want to go back down the trail that is fine too as it is impossible to get lost. As it will be a clear crisp but gusty day the views on all sides should be excellent. \nDirections to Walker Ranch Trailhead from Hwy 14 North\n19388 Placerita Canyon Road (34.378100\, -118.442680):\nAfter the HWY 14 North splits from the 5\, take Exit #3 off the 14. Head EAST for 3.2 miles to the East Walker Ranch Gate lot. (It is 1.7 miles after the Nature Center\, on the right). \nNOTE!!!! PARKING AT WALKER RANCH gate itself is limited. However\, there are turnouts near the gate\, and a lot of roadside parking at the side of the road across from the gate. Read Parking Restriction signs/ park behind white line. Given group size\, please park close to one another\, maximizing space. Leave no valuables showing. WATCH FOR TRAFFIC IF CROSSING! \nMEET YOUR LEADER:\nAt the Walker Ranch Gate at 7:15AM for a 7:30AM SHARP departure up the trail. Allow extra time to sign in and park safely. \nLeader’s Note: Due to group size\, try to use a restroom before arriving. However\, just in case\, there is a porta-pottie at the start of the trail and also a vault toilet at the saddle (1/2 way point). \nBRING:\nSnack to eat at Wilson Saddle\, water (2 L) with some electrolytes\, a hat\, sunscreen\, sunglasses and maybe your camera. Windbreaker\, gloves as it is cold windy tomorrow. \nWEAR: Hiking boots/ shoes with good tread; layered clothing and hiking poles if you have them. \nAdventure Pass: Not required \nDogs: OK\, but MUST be kept on a leash and well behaved. Please bring and use dog litter bags. \nHike Leader: Paul H.

SUMMARY:Lizard Rock Loop
DESCRIPTION:Easy Intermediate\, 4.5 miles\, 600′ gain\nEasier Option\, 3.5 miles\, 460′ gain \nThis is a unique loop through Wildwood Park that takes us to the famous Lizard Rock. \nThere are several extended inclines and a few short but steep climbs that cause this to be rated on the easy end of the intermediate spectrum. Beginners will still have no problem completing this hike\, but they may be cursing some of the inclines and will not be zooming along on the steps or inclines at high speed. \nThere is nothing wrong with taking it slow because this is a social hike\, not a conditioning hike. We’ll be waiting for folks to catch up at the major junctions. I may put down white powder lines so that nobody gets lost if they fall way behind. \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 cross to the park side of the road through a tunnel\, and turn right on to the Moonridge trail that runs parallel to the road. We’ll follow for about 1/4 mile\, and then go left instead of taking the stem to the right. \nThis will take us to the steps to the trail head parking lot. We’ll regroup. \nThose that want the easier option will cross the parking lot and take main trail (Mesa trail) straight for 1 mile\, turning left at the Lizard Rock trail\, and following it up to Lizard Rock. \nThe rest of us will continue along the Moonridge trail. We’ll follow it around for another 1/2 mile and make a right at the North Teepee Trail fire road and continue for about 200′. \nNext\, we’ll make a left at the Stagecoach Bluff Trail for about 500′\, where it will dead end at a trail of the same name. We’ll make a left and continue for about 1000′ until it dead ends. We make a left\, then the next right to head up to Lizard Rock\, where we’ll share snacks and beverages. \nFinally\, we’ll head along the ridge of Lizard Rock and then down towards the Mesa Trail fire road. We’ll make a left\, and take it all the way back to the main parking lot. Then we’ll cross the lot and take the steps at the far end of the lot down\, and return on the trail we started on\, back to the tunnel and then our cars. \nReturning Early\nFor those that wish to head back instead of hanging around for the snack share\, you are responsible for finding your own way back. Please follow the posted route and map. \nDirections\nWildwood Park\n635 W Avenida De Los Arboles\nThousand Oaks\, CA 91360 \nFrom the 118:\nCA-118 west to CA-23.\nContinue south on CA-23 to exit 15 for 4.8 miles\, Avenida de los Arboles\nTurn right (west) 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 Arboles\nWest on Avenida de los Arboles for 3.3 miles until it ends.\nTrail head on the left.\nTurn right (west) on W.

SUMMARY:Tapo Canyon Tar Pits - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:5.4 miles\, 1050′ gain\, Easy Intermediate \nThis hike is one of the most beautiful hikes in Simi Valley. There are 3 extended inclines\, about 1000 steps each\, on fire road. They are not especially steep\, but they do continue for some time\, which is why it is rated “Easy Intermediate.” There are also several small hills of 100 steps or less. \nThe extended inclines will get the blood pumping during this lollipop hike. We’ll be moving through the famous Tapo Canyon and visiting natural tar pits that bubble up from the ground. \nThe first pit is really a puddle that looks like someone spilled a couple 55-gallon drums of tar that was later contained using a spill rope. The next two are a little larger\, again\, contained by spill ropes to keep the sticky black tar from getting on the trail. \nFrom the trail head\, we’ll start on a leisurely stroll for about 0.6 miles\, followed by a steady climb for the next mile\, completing the first extended incline. \nWe’ll turn left at the junction\, climb a small hill of a couple hundred steps\, and then head down for 1.5 miles. \nWe’ll make a right turn down a smaller trail and go for about 100 yards until we reach the tar pits. After looking around for a bit\, we’ll head back\, and after 0.25 miles\, we’ll come to another junction where we will stop and share snacks and beverages. \nFor the return\, we’ll turn left and there will be a steady climb for about 3/4 of a mile to another junction. We’ll turn left again and return down for about 1.4 miles to complete the lollipop. \nEasy option: 3 miles\, 300′ gain.\nPark at 5079 Westwood St\, Simi Valley\, CA 93063. Follow Cottonwood Dr/Yosemite Ave south (down) 1000′ to the trailhead. Enter and turn immediately left. After 350′\, there is a split. It doesn’t matter which you take. The right (upper) is single-track\, the left (lower) is fire road. After ½ mile\, the two trails merge into the fire road. After 600′\, you arrive at the tar pits. Keep going another 600′\, left at the dead end\, and 1/3rd mile to the social event location. Return the way you came. \nDirections: \nTapo Canyon\n3802 Tapo Canyon Road\nSimi Valley\, CA 93063 \nFrom the 118:\nExit 27 Tapo Canyon Rd.\nTapo Canyon Rd. north for 1.7 miles.\nTrail head on the right\, before Lost Canyon Rd.\nParking is free in the gravel area in front of the trail head\, and along the road on both sides. \nFrom CA-23:\nCA-23 north to CA-118 east.\nCA-118 east for 8.7 miles.\nExit 27 Tapo Canyon Rd.\nTapo Canyon Rd. north (left) for 1.7 miles.\nTrail head on the right.\nParking is free in the gravel area in front of the trail head\, and along the road on both sides. \nHike \nDistance: 5.4 miles\, Easy Option: 3 miles\nGain: 1050′\, Easy Option 300′\nDistribution: Reasonably well distributed.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate\nShape: Lollipop\, clockwise.\nPace: 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road and double track. Areas of sand\, gravel\, and rock\, some of it rugged.\nTrail Variations:\nSeveral extended inclines of 1000 steps.\nSeveral steep sections of 300 steps\, but no hands required.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free in the gravel area in front of the trail head\, and along the road on both sides. \nWhat to bring:\n1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp. \nHosting \nRoute: The host knows the route.\nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed.\nHike type: Social. \nStops:\nThe host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. This hike will include an extended stop for a snack and beverage share at the half way point\, which we will pass\, and then return to after seeing the tar pits. \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:\nSometimes hikers wish to move significantly ahead and not wait at designated stopping points. They are on their own regarding route and navigation. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:Angel Vista - Full moon potluck hike - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:3.0 miles\, 800′ gain\, easy-intermediate. \nLet’s enjoy the gorgeous sunset and the full moon\, “Full Harvest Moon”\, at the beautiful Angel Vista! \nThis hike is rated easy-intermediate because it is a continuous incline for 1.5 miles. This isn’t real steep\, but it is continuous\, and many beginner hikers have indicated this should be rated intermediate. \nThat said\, there is no reason a fit beginner cannot complete this hike. If needed\, just stop and rest along the way\, even if it’s every 50 steps. This is not a conditioning hike\, it is a social hike\, and you really can’t get lost. \nThe only junction is 200 yards before the top\, where we’ll turn right to complete the climb. \nAt the top\, there is a picnic table and 360 degree incredible views that are especially wonderful at night. We’ll have a snack-share social event at the top for 30-60 minutes before heading back the way we came. Please bring some food and drink to share\, and utensils of your item requires it. \nThe top has been known to sometimes be very cool and windy. Please bring something to put on in case it is that way at the top. \nInteresting Notes \nTree Tobacco \nThe Cahuilla Indians used the leaves interchangeably with other tobacco species in hunting rituals and as a poultice to treat swellings\, bruises\, cuts\, wounds\, boils\, sores\, inflamed throat\, and swollen glands. It does not contain nicotine. \nIt contains anabasine\, a similar compound\, which is highly toxic to humans and animals. It is more toxic than nicotine. Ingestion of the leaves can be fatal. It is being investigated for use as a biofuel. All parts of this plant are toxic. Used as an insecticide. Do not smoke. \nElderberry \nThe blue or purple berries are gathered and made into elderberry wine\, jam\, syrup\, and pies. The entire flower cluster can be dipped in batter and fried while petals can be eaten raw or made into a fragrant and tasty tea. Spit out the seeds. Elderflower water is also used in perfumes and sweets. \nMost agree that they do need to be cooked if you are going to eat more than just a few out of hand. That’s because they have a small amount of cyanide producing glycosides\, which are released upon digestion. Fully ripe black berries are not toxic and you can eat as many as you like. Boiling or baking takes care of any “toxic” issue as does drying raw berries. \nDirections:\nRosewood Trailhead\n398 Regal Oak Ct.\nThousand Oaks\, CA 91320 \nFrom the 101\nVentu Park exit\, South (toward ocean).\nRight on Lynn Road for 1000′.\nLeft on Regal Oak Ct. for 1/3 mi.\nPark on the street \nHike Distance: 3.0 miles\nGain: 800′\nDistribution: Most of the incline occurs in the first half\, which is a continuous climb.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Out and back.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Double track\, single track.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along the street. \nWhat to bring\n1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nHiking shoes/boots. Not required\, but recommended.\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share \nFAQ\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:Coyote Park - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:Distance: 3.5 miles\, Gain: 700′\, Intermediate.\nThis was previously designated easy-intermediate\, but some thought it should be labeled as intermediate because of the extended inclines. \nA strong and motivated beginner can do this hike. They would be challenged and slow during a few of these climbs. That’s OK\, because this is not a conditioning hike\, it is a social hike. \nThe Route\n• This is a lollipop with a counter-clockwise loop. We’ll start at Coyote Park\, across from the tennis courts on Valley Gate Rd.\n• After heading across the park\, we’ll find a trailhead.\n• We’ll head up and wind around for about 3/4 of a mile.\n• Then we’ll make a sharp left and head up for about 1/2 mile along a wide path that was cleared to prevent the spread of the fires.\n• We’ll stop at the bench atop the hill and have a social event and shack share that will last between 30 and 60 minutes.\n• Then we’ll follow the ridge for about 3/4 of a mile on a relatively flat section\, then another 1/4 mile down to the road. We’ll wait there for everybody to catch up.\n• Next\, we’ll follow the path alongside the road for about 500′ (flat walk) and turn left. This will be a flat section that leads for almost a mile back to the park. \nDirections \nFrom CA-23\nNorth\, exit Olsen Rd.\nOlsen Rd. east\, becoming Madera\, for 1.8 miles.\nRight on N.

SUMMARY:Los Padres - Easy Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:3.5 miles\, 600′ gain\, Easy Intermediate\nEasy Option: 2.4 miles\, 285′ gain\, Fit Beginner \nA fit beginner can handle this. There are a couple extended inclines\, so I’ve rated this at the easy end of the intermediate spectrum. That’s OK\, because this is a social hike\, not a conditioning hike. We’ll stop at various points to let people catch up. \nWe enter the Los Padres trail through a spooky oak covered section\, then move through until we come to a dead end. We’ll turn right\, and continue climbing up. We’ll come to another junction\, where we’ll turn right onto the Los Robles trail. \nAfter 500 feet\, we’ll come to a split off to the right. We’ll take this split and continue along the Vista Loop until we come to a bench. Then we’ll start heading down\, and when we come to the “Giants Picnic Table”\, which I call that because its parts are super thick. \nWe’ll stop for a social event and share snacks and drinks for 30-60 minutes\, before continuing down and around for our return. \nEasy Option: In the reverse direction as the rest of the group\, go 350′ to the end of Los Padres Dr.\, left on S. Moorpark Rd. for 1000′. Enter the trail and follow it for about a mile. It will curve left and you will arrive at the social event. \nHike Distance: 3.5 miles\, easy option 2.4 miles.\nGain: 600′\, each option 285′.\nDistribution: Most of the incline well distributed in the first half.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Loop.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire Road\, Single-Track\, and Double-Track.\nTrail Variations:\nSeveral extended inclines of 1000 steps.\nSeveral steep sections of 300 steps\, but no hands required.\nDuration: 3.0 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along street. \nWhat to bring: 1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nHiking shoes/boots\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share \nHosting \nRoute: The host knows the route. A pic of the route has been posted as a link on this line. \nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed. \nHike type: Social.\nWe 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). \nStops:\nThe host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. This hike will include an extended stop for a snack and beverage share at the half way point. We 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 or sticks. There may not always be a sweeper designated to be the last hiker. \nInteresting Notes\nThese are a couple plants you are likely to see on this hike: \nYucca\nWhite flowers on stalk. Stalk is often missing\, leaving only the spires from which it grows. Stalks are very strong and light\, so they make good walking sticks. Needles on end of spires. Chopped up root can be uses as shampoo or soap. Roasted root can be eaten like a potato. Illegal to remove live stick in CA. \nPronounced with short u. Dried leaves make good tinder. To eat root\, remove skin and core\, boil 15 minutes. Then fry or bake. Flowers are mildly sweet. Adam says they taste like radishes. The fruit is also edible\, but bitter if not ripe. To access fibers: Soak for a month in water\, or\, lightly pound leaves with rock or club\, or\, scrape off skin. Roll between hands\, then pull and separate fibers. Weave into cordage. \nWild Cucumber\nToxic. Boil fruit in water to make spikes easy to remove. Inside is a natural luffa. Tubars (thickened part of a stem\, usually underground\, like the potato) can be crushed and thrown into water to immobilize fish. \nAlmost the entire plant is poisonous. Although wild cucumbers are related to the familiar\, domestic vegetable\, the prickly “cucumbers” consist not of fleshy fruit\, but of two seed chambers containing lacy netting. \nDirections\nLos Padres Trailhead\n15 Los Padres Drive\nThousand Oaks\, CA\, 91361 \nFrom I-101\nWest of CA-23\, I-101\, exit S.

SUMMARY:Chumash Trail in Simi to Rocky Peak
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY October 15\, 2021 – Chumash Trail (Simi Valley) to Rocky Peak \n**** RAIN FALLING AT TRAILHEAD CANCELS ALL HIKES **** \nDISTANCE: ~ 8.0 Miles\, Round trip\, Out and Back style \nGAIN: 1400′ Approx. \nDURATION OF HIKE: ~4 hours including a 20 minute break \nRATING: Moderate + \, for gain/ distance \nDescription: This weekend is forecast to be cool and therefore a great opportunity to visit the shadeless Rocky Peak area in the Santa Susana Mountains\, East of Simi Valley. Although relatively short\, the Chumash Trail has a fair amount of gain in the first 2.5 miles until we junction with Rocky Peak Road. Then its fairly flat for the next mile or so to get across to our destination. We did this hike in almost 1 year ago exactly and it has great views on all sides\, especially when cooler. We are doing it at this time of year as it can get very hot here in Summer. \nDirections to the trail head (34.293063\, -118.671186):\nTake the I-5 South to merge into the 405 South. Get off at the 118 freeway towards Simi. Take 118 12.7 miles to exit 29\, Yosemite Avenue. Turn right at end of ramp. Drive 0.4 miles North on Yosemite to Flanagan Drive and turn right. Continue 0.8 miles to the trailhead\, at the end of the road. \nMeet your leader at the trailhead (closest home address: 3191 Flanagan Dr\, Simi Valley\, CA 93063): (34.293063\, -118.671186)\nMeet at 8:00AM for a 8:15AM SHARP departure up the trail. \nNOTE: No bathrooms at trailhead. Best bet is McDonalds / gas station at the top of the Yosemite Ave off ramp when you exit 118 Hwy. \nBring: 2L water / 1L electrolytes\, a hat\, sunscreen\, a snack and hiking poles if you have them. Camera\, hiking shoes/ boots with tread. Just in case it is windy at our snack point near Rocky Peak\, I recommend an extra layer to avoid a chill. \nAdventure Pass: Not required \nDogs: OK\, if on a leash and well-behaved with other dogs / people carrying poles. \nLeader: Paul H

SUMMARY:Coquina Mine - Abandoned mine operation
DESCRIPTION:Distance 6 miles\, Gain: 1400′\, Intermediate \nThis hike is intermediate because of the continuous incline for the final mile on the way out. Still\, fit beginners can complete this hike. It’s a social hike\, so we won’t be doing it at a fast pace\, and we’ll be regrouping at the two points where we must turn onto junctions. \nThis hike starts at the Las Llajas trail head and heads through a beautiful canyon along beginner terrain. We’ll walk down an asphalt path for several hundred steps and turn right onto a gravel fire road. \nWe’ll pass two different bee sanctuaries\, one of which is active with bees being raised. The trail is a rolling wide fire road\, suitable for beginner hikers. \nAfter just under 2 miles\, we’ll come to a junction to the left that is a single track trail. After regrouping and marking the trail entrance\, we’ll have a steady incline for 1 mile. There are steep drop-offs along the edge and we’ll have incredible views of the canyon hills as we wind along this trail. \nWe’ll finish at an abandoned limestone mining operation. As we approach\, we’ll find large steel remnants of the operation. At the top\, there is an excavating vehicle from the 1920’s. I can only suppose how they got it up there\, and it was probably more trouble than it would be worth getting it back down\, so there it sits. We’ll have a social event there\, sharing snacks and drinks for about an hour before heading back down the way we came. \nThose that want to\, can sign the note pad hidden in a compartment in the front of the excavator. Kind of a “I was here” log. \nThe power shovel\, capable of lifting 500 lbs\, is from P&H Mining\, founded in 1884.The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2000 from the lawsuits over the manufacturing use of asbestos in the brake linings.Today\, the company is part of Joy Global\, Inc.\, headquartered in Milwaukee. \nDid you know that coquina means tiny shell in Spanish? Have you ever seen wriggling litte sea creatures quickly reburying themselves in the sand after the water of a wave pulls back? That’s coquina. Coquina limestone is sedimentary rock that is composed almost entirely of fragments of the shells of sea creatures! \nAs you hike this area\, you will see stones reminiscent of a river bed. The entire area was once under the sea. Coquina was sometimes mined for building material\, paving\, decoration\, and fertilizer. The coquina limestone here\, aka oyster limestone or shell limestone\, is from a fossilized reef. Most of the shells in this area are from oysters and scallops. The limestone from this mine was used for poultry grit\, cattle feed\, and other agricultural needs. \nDid you know that forts were built with this? It resisted termites\, would not burn\, and when hit with a cannon ball\, instead of shattering the wall\, the ball would sink in and the shock would be absorbed! \nThis is a social hike\, not a conditioning hike. See link How Hard is This Hike. \nYou will see lots of these two plants on the hike: \nGreasewood – Adenostoma fasciculatum\naka\, Chemise \nGreasewood is a common name shared by several plants.\nLarge bunches can emit the smell of creosote (telephone poles).\nBurns well when still green. Stiff short needles. \nCeanothus – Ceanothus megacarpus \nI use this to remember: See\, ya know this. \nSmall almost circular leaves. that alternate\, often notched at the apex 3/4 in. long. They are dull green and rough on top with fine hairs on the underside. Gray branches. Common along Malibu hillsides facing the ocean. \nThe Hike\nDistance: 6 miles\nGain: 1400′\nDistribution: Most of the incline is in the 2nd quarter.\nDifficulty: Intermediate.\nShape: Out and Back.\nPace: 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road and single track.\nTrail Variations: Rolling stroll along the fire road\, steep drop-offs along single track.\nDuration: 4 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along street. \nWhat to bring\n1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed. \nHosting\nRoute: The host knows the route. A pic of the route has been posted as part of this description. \nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed. \nHike type: Social.\nWe 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. \nStops:\nThe host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. This hike will include an extended stop for a Snacks and beverages to share social event at the half way point.

SUMMARY:Happy Camp 2 - Intermediate
DESCRIPTION:5.7 Miles\, 1000′ gain\, Intermediate \nThe starting point is NOT at the golf course entrance. It is at a dirt lot that can hold at least 50 cars. There is some real incline on this hike and a lot less trails coated with silt compared to the easier Happy Camp hike. \nEven though I have rated this “intermediate”\, there are no steep sections. The 2nd quarter is an continuous fire road incline that can get exhausting. \nWe start with about 1.25 miles of relatively flat and slightly downhill double-tracker. Then we start up a fire road for 1.5 miles with a continuous incline of 700′. This section can be exhausting\, so I’ve rated the hike on the easy end of the Intermediate spectrum. \nA strong and motivated beginner can do this hike\, but they will be challenged and slow during this segment. That’s OK\, because this is not a conditioning hike\, it is a social hike. We’ll be stopping at various points to regroup\, and there is nothing wrong with taking many small stops along this section to catch your breath. \nAfter having done two segments\, we’ll reach a steel hitching post and clearing\, where we’ll have a social event lasting about an hour. We’ll be rewarded with spectacular views in all directions. During the day\, you can easily see the ocean and Channel Islands. Finally\, we’ll head back the way we came. \nInteresting Notes\nThese are plants you will likely see on this hike. \nWhite Sage\nIt is very aromatic and is the plant burned in “smudging” to ward off evil spirits and perform other purification. \nAlong the second half of the outbound section\, both sides of the trail have patches of White Sage. \nBlack Mustard\nFlowers\, leaves (mustard greens)\, and roots are edible. Can be used as a spice. Grind seeds and mix with water and vinegar to make prepared mustard. \nDirections\nHappy Camp Rustic Canyon\n13650 Broadway Rd.\nMoorpark\, CA 93021\nCoordinates of trailhead: 34.315212\, -118.874620 \nFrom CA-118:\nWest on CA-118\, exit 19a Princeton Ave.\nLeft on Princeton for 1.4 mile until dead end.\nRight on Spring Rd. for 1.3 miles.\nRight on CA-23N/Walnut Canyon Rd. for 0.9 miles.\nBecomes Happy Camp Rd. for 236′.\nRight on Broadway Rd. for 0.3 miles.\nParking lot in Northeast corner of intersection. \nFrom CA-23 and US-101:\nNorth on CA-23.\nCA-118 east for 0.6 miles.\nExit 19a\, Princeton Ave.\nRight on Princeton for 1.4 mile until dead end.\nRight on Spring Rd. for 1.3 miles.\nRight on CA-23N/Walnut Canyon Rd. for 0.9 miles.\nBecomes Happy Camp Rd. for 236′.\nRight on Broadway Rd. for 0.3 miles.\nParking lot in Northeast corner of intersection. \nThe Hike\nDistance: 5.7 miles\, 3.75 hours\nElevation Gain: 1000′\nDifficulty: Intermediate.\nPace: 2.0 mph\nDogs: No\nRestrooms: Yes.\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free in the dirt lot at the trailhead\nTrail: Double Track and Fire Road\, with some sand. \nHosting\nRoute: The host knows the route.\nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed.\nHike type: Social. \nThis description includes a picture of the route.

SUMMARY:Chumash - Intermediate\, with Easy option
DESCRIPTION:4 miles\, 1100′ gain\, Intermediate\nEasy Option: 1.5 miles\, 400′ gain\, Fit Beginner \nThe entire hike outbound is a steady incline. Nothing super steep\, just continuous and quite strenuous for many. There are virtually no junctions where one can get lost. \nThis is one of the more famous hikes in Simi Valley\, and for good reason. Much of the hike takes place along the edge of the mountain. The trail in spots is a bit rugged and rocky\, so a good tread on your shoes is recommended. \nIt is a part of the Chumash Natural Park that includes sandstone rock formations\, caves\, and beautiful vistas of Simi Valley. The land is owned by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Rancho Simi Recreation & Park District. It is maintained by the Rancho Simi Trailblazers and patrolled by the Volunteer Trail Safety Service. \nWe’ll all begin the climb together. Those doing the easier option will stop after 0.7 miles and wait for about 45 minutes until the rest of us return to this spot for our social event. While waiting\, they can continue to climb any portion they want and return to this spot\, or just take in the views. \nThe rest will continue for 1.3 miles until a flat rock before heading back the same way to the social event spot. A few will probably continue another 1/2 mile until the end of the trail. \nAt the social event spot\, we’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of Simi Valley and will share snacks and beverages. \nThere is really no way to get lost on this hike\, so everybody will move along at whatever pace they want. \nHike (click this link for a pic)\nDistance: 4.0 miles or 1.5 miles\nGain: 1100′ or 400′\nDistribution: Most of the incline is concentrated in the first half.\nDifficulty: Intermediate or Fit Beginer\nShape: Out and back.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road\, double track\, single track.\nTrail Variations: The entire first half is incline. Some of the trail is rugged sandstone. Some of the trail is covered in large gravel.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along street. \nWhat to bring: 1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nHiking shoes/boots. Not required\, but recommended.\nFlashlight or headlamp.\nSunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share \nHosting\nRoute: The host knows the route. A pic of the route has been posted as part of this description.\nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed.\nHike type: Social. \nInteresting Notes\nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nCalifornia Encelia\nAka\, California Bush Sunflower\, California Brittlebush\, Coast Sunflower\, El Dorado. \nCenter is brown. When the center is yellow\, it is Brittlebush\, from the brittleness of the stems. This is from the daisy family\, and it is typically used as an ornamental plant. \nMediterranean Mustard / Black Mustard\nMediterranean mustard seeds are yellow or white\, while Black mustard seeds are brown or black. The flowers look the same. \nFlowers\, leaves (mustard greens)\, and roots are edible. Can be used as a spice. Grind seeds and mix with water and vinegar to make prepared mustard. This is often a very abundant noxious weed (has been designated by an agricultural authority as one that is injurious to agricultural or horticultural crops\, natural habitats or ecosystems\, or humans or livestock.). It grows everywhere along the sides of the trail\, often having to be cut back during trail maintenance. \nDirections\nChumash Trail\n3200 Flanagan Dr.\nSimi Valley\, CA 93063\nCoordinates of trailhead: 34.293497\, -118.671176 \nFrom CA-118\nI-118\, exit Yosemite.\nNorth on Yosemite for 1.3 miles.\nRight (east) on Flanagan Dr. for 08. miles.\nContinue until the street ends and park. \nFAQ\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:Secret Staircases of Rustic Canyon + Murphy Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Join our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/hikingwithdean/ \nPOST HIKE LUNCH: \nSONNY McLEAN’S\n2615 Wilshire Boulevard Santa Monica\, CA 90403\nTake Allenford/26th st toward Wilshire\nhttps://goo.gl/maps/UnP6etQqotaUXGxU9 \nTHE HIKE \nA hidden staircase\, the longest public staircase in Los Angeles\, drops 24 stories into the middle of lush Rustic Canyon. I will combine a 6-mile hike with the stairs taking in Rustic and Sullivan Canyons by way of little known trails. Along the way we’ll visit Murphy Ranch\, a 1930s hideout where\, according to urban legend\, Third Reich sympathizers could sequester themselves until German rule had been established in the USA. My research indicates the legend it FALSE \nAlong the way we will answer the riddle: \nWhat does the inventor of the photobooth\, The Beach Boys\, a bunch of WWII-era NAZIs and Charlie Manson have in common? \nDIRECTIONS \nFrom Sunset Boulevard\, 3 miles west of the 405\, turn north at the light onto Capri Drive (there is a shorter way by turning onto San Remo Dr to Monaco Dr\, but its easy to miss). After 1/3 mile continue through the traffic circle\, remaining on Capri Drive for another 1/3 mile until it comes to an 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 adjacent roads. We’ll meet on the corner of Casale and Capri \nYou will be parking in a residential neighborhood with parking restrictions — pay attention to signs. \nThe Organizers and members of Hiking With Dean are not professional leaders\, guides\, or mountaineers.
