SUMMARY:Dos Vientos -- Ride the Two Winds\, a Gentler Friendly Hike.
DESCRIPTION:Please note this hike begins at 9:00 am! \nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \n\nDon’t show up unless you’re on the “Attending” list\nUnregistered or waitlisted will be turned away\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\n\nThis hike will loop around the periphery of Dos Vientos\, passing Twin Ponds\, overlooking Potrero Road and the Oxnard Plain with the Channel Islands in the background. We will cross 2 streets along the way. \nThis hike is about 5.0 miles with 1000 feet of elevation gain. \nPace: This is a gentler friendly hike. We will go at a slightly slower pace than the Intermediate Trailblazer Hike\, and we will finish in 2 1/2 hours. Faster hikers are welcome to join us so long as they are willing to hike at the slower pace of the group or wait at the forks on the trail. There are many confusing side trails in Dos Vientos so I will mark the trail if necessary\, but I ask that everyone plan to stay in contact with the group. \nPlease note this trail is very exposed (no shade) and there is no water along the way. \nDIRECTIONS: From the 101 Freeway in Newbury Park\, exit at Borchard Road. Drive 3.4 miles and turn into the Dos Vientos Community Park on the right\, just after Via Ricardo (and before Via Las Brisas). Meet by the tennis courts to the left. \nIf you are coming from the NW\, exit Wendy and turn left on Wendy and then a right on Borchard to Dos Vientos Community Park. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group. Safety should be a priority for everyone in the group. Please treat this meet-up as hiking with a group of friends. If you become fatigued and unable to continue the hike\, it is expected you will advise the hike host of this and return to our starting point on your own. If you are able to proceed\, it is expected that you will maintain line of sight with other members of the group at all times and help to promote the group’s safety and fitness goals. \nOutdoor sports and other events we plan can be inherently dangerous and accidents may happen. By participating in any posted event\, you are taking responsibility for your own safety and well-being. The Weekday Trailblazers 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. \nIf you choose to sign up for this or any Weekday Trailblazers Meetup event\, you are releasing the Weekday Trailblazers Meetup Group and its organizers from all liability in case of possible injuries. Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience. \n** Anyone 18 yrs. or younger must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \n** As usual\, no “Plus Ones.” Get your friends to sign up and register for the hike – it’s not that hard!

SUMMARY:Corriganville the Back Way Double Loop Lollipop
DESCRIPTION:4 miles\, 700′ gain\, easy-intermediate\nEasy option: 2.5 miles\, 500′ gain \nParking on the south side of the CA-118 at the Rocky Peak exit. We’ll walk west along the Santa Susana Pass Rd. for about 500 feet\, and directly across from Lilac Ln\, we’ll enter a trail. We’ll move along a relatively flat section for 1/2 mile\, turn right\, and make a gradual climb until just before the wildlife tunnel. \nWe turn left and take a set of switchbacks down into Corriganville. We’ll now be in front of a picnic pavilion. \nEasy Option: Wait at the pavilion for about 35 minutes. \nThe rest of the group will continue for loop\, returning back to this same place. \nWe’ll turn right and proceed to loop through the park\, where we’ll pass an outdoor amphitheater\, then make a mild climb to the top of a hill. \nWe’ll turn right\, zig-zag down\, and then make a left to the wide center trail that leads up through the park to its only parking lot. We won’t cross to the lot yet. \nWe’ll follow the trail as it bends to the right until it eventually bends back left and heads into the parking area. We’ll then walk along the side of the lot and head back to the picnic pavilion\, where we’ll have a social event. \nAfter the event\, we’ll circle around the front of the pavilion and walk along railroad tracks for 200 yards towards the park lot. Behind a couple small shacks\, we’ll turn left and cross the tracks\, then head onto a trail and take this all the way back to Santa Susana Pass Rd. and then our cars. \nThe park officially closes at sunset\, so we’ll try to start heading back before dark. \nInteresting Notes \nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nCalifornia Sagebrush \nAromatic when crushed. AKA\, common sage\, coastal sage. Sunflower family. Cowboys used to ride through it and brush up against the pine-shaped leaves\, coming home with the smell on their clothes and giving rise to the nickname “Cowboy Cologne.” Not a true sage. Can be used as a cooking spice and can be made into a tea. Tear off some needles by running your hand up the stalk and smell the aroma. \nPurple Sage \nGrey-green leaves. Aromatic when crushed. Purple flowers. Aka\, Tobacco Sage\, with mild hallucinogenic properties when smoked. Can be used as a spice or made into a tea. Tea has medicinal affects: Antiviral\, gargle for sore throats\, reduce hay fever symptoms and other drying actions. In the last summer\, fall\, and winter months\, the flowers will have turned brown and the leaves we take on a greyer color. \nDirections\nRocky Peak Exit\, South Side of CA-118\nSimi Valley\, CA 93065\n34.268396\, -118.636139 \nFrom the 118\nExit 32 Rocky Peak Rd.\nPark on south of the freeway along Santa Susanna Pass Rd. \nFrom the 101 @ CA-23\nNorth CA-23 for 8.4 miles.\nEast I-118 for 14 miles.\nExit 32 Rocky Peak Rd.\nPark on south of the freeway along Santa Susanna Pass Rd. \nThe Hike\nDistance: 3.5 miles\nElevation Gain: 700′\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate\nPace: 2.0 mph\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: Yes\, at the picnic pavilion.\nDrinking Fountains: Yes\nParking: Free\, south side of CA-118\nTrail: Single Track\, Double Track\, and fire road.\nPurpose: Social \nWhat to Bring:\n1-2 liters of water.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp.

SUMMARY:Trail Canyon Falls Trail - Big Tujunja Canyon
DESCRIPTION:*** Safety Note: Rain or Extreme Heat at trailhead cancels hikes. \nMeetup Time: 7:30 A.M. (We hit the trail promptly at 7:45) \nPARKING/CARPOOLING – There is parking on the side of Big Tujunga Cyn Road\, but this is a popular hike right now and parking is limited – so carpooling is highly recommended. DO NOT KEEP ANY VALUABLES IN SIGHT IN YOUR VEHICLE! – there have been car break-ins when people left valuables visible in their car! \nDISTANCE: Minimum 4.9 miles – out and back. \nGAIN: Minimum 1276 ft \nRATED: Intermediate hike\, with some exposed hill climbs. Several creek crossings\, but you do not need to get wet. \nHIKE DURATION: About 3 – 4 hours (including a 20-minute snack time at the creek!). \nDESCRIPTION:\nWe’ll park on the highway at the trailhead. The first 3/4 mile is a dirt road that has some old grandfathered properties that we’ll pass by. At that point\, we’ll follow the canyon bottom along a well running creek\, and cross over the creek several times (you can cross without getting your feet wet). We’ll then leave the wonderful and cool creek bottom area\, and climb up an exposed ridge for another mile or so\, then drop back down slightly to the top of a really nice waterfall. We’ll likely stop there for a break/snack before returning the way we came. The temperature is expected to be in the 80’s-90’s Saturday\, but we’ll update you as we get closer with an updated forecast. \nSome scrambling Involved – To go to the bottom of the Waterfall\, you’ll need to climb down a short section of nearly vertical wall. You can step down\, but you will need to hold onto installed ropes to guide you down\, but to climb back up\, you’ll need to step up that wall\, and use the installed ropes to pull yourself up. Its only about 20 feet\, and should be doable for everyone\, but be aware. \nCAUTIONS: \n\nIf you are afraid of heights\, the exposed hill climb up to the waterfall is steep and narrow.\nRattlesnakes – always a possibility this time of year.\nParking and thefts – we saw a vehicle that someone had broken a window to steal what was inside. Do NOT leave anything visible in your car!\n\nBRING: \n\nAssume it will be warm to hot\, but it’s always smart to layer.\nPoles will be useful for creek crossing and the hill climb to the waterfall.\nRecommend a minimum of 3 liters of Water\, Electrolytes\, Snack lunch; a hat; and Sunscreen.\n\nADVENTURE PASS: Not required. \n**MEET AT: (**Google GPS Coordinates: 34.303714068691164\, -118.25772643048175**) Park on the side of the highway where available. If you’re coming from the 210 freeway\, exit at Sunland Blvd\, go north. It turns into Foothill Blvd. Turn left at Vista Oro\, go north to Big Tujunga Canyon Road\, then turn right (north) approx 4.8 miles. Look for cars parked along the highway for the trailhead. Meet at the gate at the trailhead at 7:30 am. We start hiking promptly at 7:45 am. \nLearn more: AllTrails page for this hike. Trail Canyon Falls: 4096 Reviews\, Map – California | AllTrails \nBathrooms: There are no bathroom facilities at this location. \nDogs: OK\, if well behaved around other dogs/ people with hiking poles and on a leash. Creek crossing may present a challenge for some dogs. If you bring a dog\, you likely will not be able to repell down the canyon wall to get to the waterfall bottom\, or pull yourself up with you and your dog! \nLeaders: Gary S. and Paul H.

SUMMARY:BIKE VENTURA HARBOR TO HOBSON FOLLOWED BY CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:THE WEEKDAY TRAILBLAZERS BIKE LADY IS BACK!\nRIDE COAST FROM VENTURA HARBOR TO HOBSON\nTHEN PICNIC AND ROCK ‘N ROLL TO THE VANISE TERRY BAND \nBike ride meets and rolls from the Village at the Ventura Harbor at 9:00 AM for about 28 miles of mostly flat cycling along the coast with a mix of bike lanes and bike paths as our trails. \nRoute will take us around the Harbor\, past the Ventura Pier\, up the Omer Rains Bike Path then continue on PCH to Hobson Beach Park. We’ll have our snack/rest break at Hobson then return to the Harbor. \nBIKE ROUTE MAP : https://goo.gl/maps/CGnKu7R6ffBkYD2w8\nLink for planning purposes. Our route may be a bit different from Google’s and we may use more residential streets. Google underestimates elevation gain\, expect about 350 feet. Time estimate assumes faster speed and no break. Intermediate level pace and distance. Too fast and too far for beginners. \nTHE CONCERT\nMy friend Vanise Terry and her band will be rocking the Harbor from Noon to 3:00 PM. She has a great voice and personality. I think you will enjoy her. Vanise and her band perform at many local brew pubs\, clubs and tasting rooms. I anticipate the band will play some classic rock with perhaps some country and contemporary songs. Check out Vanise at http://vanisemusic.com/ Bring your own chair\, hat and a picnic lunch. You can also buy food at the Harbor. \nFYI\, there is also a Mental Wellness Fest at the harbor from 10-5. That event will be in the lawn area. If you want even more music\, there’s a blue grass band in that section at 3. You are welcome to check out the festival too. It will be a busy day at the harbor. \nDO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN YOUR CAR. \nWHAT TO BRING: \nFOR YOUR BIKE: Bike in good working order–chain lubed\, gears shift easily\, seat at right height\, tires pumped up and brakes checked\, extra air in MTB tires.

SUMMARY:Let's meetup and hike around a movie set
DESCRIPTION:This is monthly docent led hike that happens on the first Saturday I will unfortunately will not be doing this adventure; I also have a bike ride planned. The volunteer that does this hike is very knowledgeable and familiar with the area. \nFranklin Canyon in Beverly Hills is a nature center and park full of hiking trails. This will be a unique opportunity to step onto a actual movie set with a ranger providing some behind the scenes information. I have tested out this monthly easy hike. The outing will last about two hours with minimal elevation gained/lost. Frequent stops to rest and talk will make this attractive to some people that are not ready to climb the big hills. I do THAT every Friday evening with a Sierra Club group. If you get lost\, my cell is eight one eight 348-8884.

SUMMARY:Chesebro Canyon MTB trail potluck hike - fit beginner
DESCRIPTION:Fit Beginner 4.3 miles\, 480′ gain.\nEasier Option: 4 miles\, 230′ gain. \nWe walk a mostly flat section for 1.1 mi. to the 2nd junction. \nEasier option: Continue straight for 3/4 mi.\, left at the split\, right after another 500′\, arriving at some picnic tables on the right after another 750′. \nRegular route: Left\, heading up a switch back. Right at the top\, and continue for 3/4 mi.\, turning right where it ends. Head down to the bottom\, left at the split. After 750′\, we arrive at some picnic tables on the right. \nThis is a pot luck picnic. Please bring something to eat and drink\, and a little extra to share. If your item requires it\, bring plates and utensils to share. Pot Luck guidelines Link \nWe’ll share snacks and drinks for 60-90 minutes\, then return by a straight path\, no turns. \nFun Facts\nWhat is MTB?\nAnswer: Mountain Bike (not Mountain Terrain Bike)\nThe name I see on a map is: Chesebro Canyon MTB Trail \nWhy is it spelled Cheeseboro Canyon\, Chesebro Canyon MTB Trail\, and Chesebro Rd?\nThe original owner of the land in the late 1800s was Oscar Cheesebrough. The NPS adopted the U.S. Geological Survey spelling of Cheeseboro\, while Caltrans adopted the name Chesebro.\nReference Link  \nHosting \nRoute\nThe host knows the route. A pic of the route has been posted as part of this description. The host may vary the route slightly. \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:\nWe will stop at junctions to make sure everybody makes any turns\, else something will be used to mark the direction. \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. \nInteresting Notes\nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nBlack Sage\nMultiple brown buttons going up the top of the stalk\, that may have white flowers. Green leaves. Purple or white flowers that are dark brown as they dry on the plant. Squish the leaves and smell. \nA rare and sought after Black sage honey is also made from the honey of bees that pollinate the Black sage plant. Black sage is utilized in the culinary world as an aromatic and flavorful herb. It can be used in recipes wherever traditional sage is called for\, however keep in mind that foraged Black sage has a much stronger flavor than that of traditional store bought sage. \nIts flavor goes well with winter squashes\, brown butter\, poultry\, venison\, pears\, cheese\, potatoes and other herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Use fresh in a variety of different preparations or leaves. Can be dried and stored for future use as a dried herb. \nBlack sage was used traditionally by Native Americans known as the Chumash people to form an herbal soak for the bath to be used in the treatment of bodily pain\, specifically for the feet and lower legs. \nYellow Star Thistle\nThorny. Also called yellow cockspur and golden star thistle. Generally considered a weed. Long-term ingestion by horses causes a neurological disorder known as chewing disease\, a lethal lesion of the nigropallidal region of the brain. This disease is expressed as a twitching of the lips\, tongue flicking\, and involuntary chewing. Permanent brain damage is possible\, and affected horses may starve to death. \nUsed in Turkish folk medicine for the treatment of ulcers. In a laboratory study\, aqueous extracts of fresh or dried flowers of yellow star thistle given orally showed significant antiulcerogenic activity in rats. \nOther\nDogs allowed? Yes \nDirections\nChesebro Canyon MTB trail\n5402 Chesebro Rd\, Agoura Hills\, CA 91301 \nFrom I-101:\nExit Chesebro Rd..Palo Comado Canyon Rd.\nContinue north. It becomes Palo Comado Canyon Rd and rotates west.\nRight at Chesebro Rd. for 0.4 miles.\nPark on the street.\nAfter the 1 lane bridge\, you’ve gone too far. \nFAQ\nHiking Plus Page Links\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability

SUMMARY:Long Canyon - Easy CC Loop - Suitable for Fit Beginners
DESCRIPTION:3 miles\, 650′ gain\, Fit Beginner\nEasy option\, 1.4 miles\, 450′ gain\, Fit Beginner \nThose that prefer the Easy Option\, should head UP from the trail head\, waiting when they get to the bench at the top. \nFor the rest of us: Starting from the trailhead parking lot\, we head west on the Woodridge Connector along the sides of houses\, which is the back way. This is a relatively flat section for about 3/4 mile. \nLeft at the asphalt along Woodridge Loop Trail\, immediate right at the split\, then continue until it comes to an end at a junction. Left and continue to another junction. Make a right\, go about 50′ to another junction\, make a right again\, then 300′ to Autumn Ridge Trail. \nLeft and continue for about a mile.

There may not always be a sweeper designated to be the last hiker. \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. \nDirections\nWhere Long Canyon Rd. and S. Wood Ranch Pkwy. intersect in Simi Valley. There is a free paved lot at the trailhead on the southwest corner. \nFrom CA-23 and I-101\nNorth CA-23\, exit Olsen Rd.\nRight (east) on Olsen Rd.\, which becomes Madera Rd.\, for 2 miles.\nRight (south) on N.

SUMMARY:The Pianobox Prospect via Fish Canyon trail
DESCRIPTION:https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/the-pianobox-prospect-via-fish-canyon-trail?search=true \nHello Fellow Hikers\,\nA bit of history to the area. It’s said these hills were once inhabited by the Allikliks a branch of the Shoshonean tribe. There is also a lot of lore surrounding this place that includes talk of Indian burial grounds\, gold mines\, spanish gold\, and even ghosts. Pianobox was named for the Piano that was said to be brought up there by the miners back in the old mining days in this area. With that said one thing you can guarantee is water crossings and lots of them. The water levels are more foot crossings now which makes this trail a good time to go before the weather heats up. Carpooling at our same meetup spot will be offered for anyone who wishes to carpool or follow to the trailhead (Best donuts located 2325 Kuehner Dr # 127 Simi Valley off the 118 freeway at 8:00 am) I have attached the AllTrails link for stats and photos. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/the-pianobox-prospect-via-fish-canyon-trail?search=true \nTrail out and back\nMiles 8.2\nRated moderate\nElevation Gain 823 ft\nDogs allowed\nParking side road please note a Adventure Pass is needed for parking \nAs of now there is no sweeper for this hike so please know if you feel you can not finish for any reason please turn back early \nPlease check back on hike info as rain\, heat advisory\, strong winds or low attendance may cause the hike to be rescheduled \nWe will always follow Jim’s Golden Rules: \n\nHike your own hike\nPlease stop at every junction and split to wait for others to catch up\n\nPlease remember to bring all essentials you’ll need for a hike\n(water\,hat\,sunglasses\,hiking boot/hiking shoes poles if needed snacks) \nLiability Disclaimer: \nAnd last….The Organizer\, Co Organizer\, Assistant Organizers and Event hosts in this group are not professional guides. The function of the Organizer is only to organize the trip. Each person who signs up for an Event is responsible for his or her own safety and the safety of his or her guest. Remember this is your hike. All responsibilities are of your own once you attend. Please be aware of your limit. During outdoor activity you can encounter bodily injury\, snake bites\, sunburn\, overheating\, etc. This is not within our control and we ask that you are prepared for any of the above once you sign up for an Event. If you need to take several breaks (not counting quick breather breaks) and stops throughout a hike\, the hike maybe too much for your ability. Please check each event for miles\, elevation gain\, and difficulty rating. The higher the elevation gain means more incline and less leveled off sections. We offer all levels of hikes from moderate to hard to advanced only. We encourage everyone to not give up work on your core by joining our easier moderate Events and then joining our harder hikes once you are ready. 😊

SUMMARY:Danielson Monument - potluck hike
DESCRIPTION:6.5 miles\, 1300′ gain\, intermediate \nLet’s enjoy hiking to the Danielson Monument in the Boney Mountain Wilderness and potluck lunch! \nThis is a great way to be thankful for the beautiful nature\, our health and friendships. We’ll hike up to Danielson monument and enjoy potluck and “Peace\, Love and Joy.” \nPlease bring food and drinks to share.\nWe’ll have our typical snack-share social event at the top for 60-90 minutes before heading back the way we came. Please bring some food and drink to share. If your item requires plates or utensils (ex: rice\, macaroni salad\, etc.)\, please bring them. \nYou will see several plants of note: \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. \nHike Distance: 6.5 miles\nGain: 1300′\nDifficulty: Intermediate\nShape: Out and back.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Double track\, single track.\nDuration: 5 hours\, 3 for just the hike part.\nDogs: Not allowed in the state park.\nRestrooms: No\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along the street. \nMeet at: Wendy Trail Head\n4128 Potrero Rd\nThousand Oaks\, CA 91361\nWhere S. Wendy Dr. ends at Potrero Rd. \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\nHiking Plus Page Links\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability
