SUMMARY:Hill Canyon - Hawk Lollipop - Easy Intermediate\, beginner option
DESCRIPTION:5.3 miles\, 600′ gain\, Easy-Intermediate\n2 miles\, 100′ gain\, Beginner \nWe start by crossing a bridge into a wooded area and continue down a relatively flat path alongside a stream. After about a mile\, we’ll come to a junction. \nFor those that want the full hike\, we’ll turn right and complete a 3 mile loop with 500′ of gain\, stopping just before the end of the loop for a social event at the picnic table on the left. \nThe social event that will last 60 minutes\, sharing snacks and beverages (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772). \nFor those that want to keep it beginner\, pass the junction and continue for 1/4 mile and no gain. That same picnic table will be on the right. \nFor the return\, we continue the loop for 1/4 mile\, then a relatively flat walk back for about a mile. \nHike Distance: 5.3 miles\nGain: 600′\nDistribution: Most of the incline is concentrated in the second quarter.\nDifficulty (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781): Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Lollipop.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road.\nTrail Variations: The first mile is flat.\nAll of the trail is well groomed and not rugged.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: Yes\, at trailhead\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free in lot next to trail head. \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 (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772). \nHosting \nRoute: The host knows the route. The route is posted as a photo with 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. \nInteresting Notes \nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nWild Oats \nThe mature seed of the plant is used as a cereal grain. All oats have edible seeds\, although they are small and hard to harvest in most species. Oats are hard to tell apart from weedy relatives\, so the term “sowing wild oats” came to be used to describe unprofitable activities and destructive sexual liaisons of an unmarried young male that could result in children being born out of wedlock. \nRed Brome \nGrass like with thorny appearing tops. A sub-species of foxtail chess. Can lead to flash fires. Winter fires don’t kill the seeds. \nDirections: \nHill Canyon Trailhead\n10241 Hill Canyon Road (address is before trailhead\, continue to gravel lot on left)\nSanta Rosa Valley\, CA 93012\nCoordinates of trailhead: 34.226495\, -118.930374 \nFrom CA-118:\nCA-118 west to CA-23 south.\nExit 19 Tierra Rejada Rd.\, turn right (west) for 0.5 miles\nLeft (south) on Moorpark Rd. for 1.4 miles.\nRight on Santa Rosa Rd. for 3.7 miles.\nLeft on Hill Canyon Rd. for 0.6 miles.\nParking in gravel lot on left. \nFrom CA-101 (from Camarillo and farther west):\nExit Santa Rosa Rd. north for 4.9 miles.\nTurn right (south) on Hill Canyon Rd. for 0.6 miles.\nParking in gravel lot on left. \nFrom CA-23 and CA-101 (from Thousand Oaks):\nNorth on CA-12 for 3.1 miles.\nExit 16 Sunset Hills Blvd. and left (west) for 0.9 miles.\nLeft (west) on E.

(heart rate increases at times)\n5 – 7+ mile hike w/over 1500 ft. E.G. (heart rate increasing even more at times)\n6 – 7+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. E.G. (at times you might be trying to remember how to perform CPR)\n7 – 5+ mile hike w/over 2000 ft. E.G. (at times you might be muttering expletives to yourself)\n8 – 10+ mile hike w/over 3500 ft. E.G. (at times you might be angry with the hike leader)\n9 – 10+ mile hike w/over 5000 ft. E.G.

We first did this in 2016 when we climbed a rock or two searching for the cave up there while those less inclined to do so took a short break and watched. After this event\, as an option\, you’re welcomed to join Cristina (I’m sure she’ll come) and me for some BBQ at Rosies BBQ Kitchen. \nOPTIONAL ROCK SCRAMBLING:\nhttps://a248.e.akamai.net/secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/2/4/event_88560292.jpeg \nMEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: Dirt parking lot off Lilac Lane off of Santa Susana Pass Rd. at 9:00 am.\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/place/34%C2%B015’49.7%22N+118%C2%B037’59.2%22W/@34.2637984\,-118.6353007\,924m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0xd4929ee8a4883a91!7e2!8m2!3d34.2637942!4d-118.6331119 \nEARLIER MEETUP LOCATION AND TIME: Those out my way can meet me in Woodland Hills at 8:30 a.m. and take off from there in a car pool.

Those that don’t drive can help pay for gas. It’s about a 30 minute drive to the trailhead\, so $5/passenger should be collected by drivers. \nDURATION: 3 hours give or take depending on the group. \nTERRAIN: Single and double track trails \nDISTANCE: 3 mile loop for those preferring the easier route and a little extra for the more adventurous rock scramblers in the group seeking to see the cave. \nELEVATION GAIN: 600′ + \nTHE PACE: No faster than the slowest hiker. \nLEVEL: Experienced beginner.

SUMMARY:Condor Peak Exploratory Scramble
DESCRIPTION:Trying a new route and avoiding a car shuttle this time around. Limiting the number of attendees since it’s exploratory and going to be a long day/hike. \nWrite up is Don’s: \nThe Stats \nDistance: 16 miles \nElevation Gain: >4000 \nRating : 9/10\, for the experienced only – not for beginner or slow hikers \nTrail: Uneven rocky terrain and single track\, bushwhacking and some creek crossing\, scrambling and a bit of fire road. VERY steep uphill. \nThe Plan \nWe will meet at the trailhead for Trail Canyon Falls to start our hike. NO car shuttle this time around. The trail follows Gold Creek and goes by some rustic cabins from the 1920’s\, it continues along the creek heading up this amazingly deep canyon. At about 1.5 miles from the beginning we’ll get our first view of the falls. Our first break will be at the 2 mile mark at the base of the waterfall. We’ll stop for some pictures then venture on above the falls. This is where a large portion of our gain comes in – 3000 feet in less than 3 miles and will include scrambling on rocks. Once we reach Condor\, we will have a lunch break and head back down the regular trail back towards the falls. There will likely be a small portion of bushwhacking and trail finding as we did have some difficulty locating an actual trail the last time we did this. \nThe Story \nCondor Peak (elev. 5540) stands high above Big Tujunga Canyon\, across from Mount Lukens\, and west of Josephine Peak. On a clear day it commands superb views of the western San Gabriel Mountains. If you come in the spring when the Ceanothus is in bloom\, you will be treated to a show of beautiful lilac-colored flowers. \nThe peak is named after the endangered California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus). A hundred years ago it was a nesting ground for the “monarchs of the air”\, and they could be seen wheeling gracefully overhead in search of something dead to eat. Sadly\, the condor’s numbers have declined dramatically. The last condor sighting in the area was before World War II. \nDirections: \nLeave any valuables at home and take all important items (keys\, phone\, wallet\, etc.) on the hike with you. Don’t leave anything of any importance in your car. \n210 West exit at Sunland Blvd. (#11) and turn right (N) towards Sunland – Tujunga \n210 East exit at Sunland Blvd (#11) and turn left (N) towards Sunland – Tujunga \nTake Sunland Blvd which becomes Foothill Blvd. about .8 miles to Oro Vista Ave and turn left. There’s a Jack In The Box and 7-11 on the left and a Shell station on the right at Oro Vista Ave. Stay on Oro Vista Ave and it curves to the right and becomes Big Tujunga Canyon Road which will take you to the trailhead. The turnout\, NF 3n-29\, is easy to spot\, but not marked very well. It’s about 4.7 miles in from the curve at the end of Oro Vista Ave. It’s just before mile marker 2.05. If you pass Ottie Road you went too far. Park on Big Tujunga or in the turnout but be sure to read the parking signs and don’t block the gate. \nFor those GPS people out there these coordinates are for where NF 3n-29 meets Big Tujunga: N34 18.224 W118 15.490. \nThis location does not require a National Forest Adventure Pass. \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 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).

SUMMARY:Spahn Ranch - Stagecoach Rd - El Camino Nuevo Loop
DESCRIPTION:Our hike will be steeped in local history and lore. We’ll begin our trek at Chatsworth Park South where we’ll find our way to the Old Stagecoach Rd. From the top of the Old Stagecoach Rd we’ll hook up with the Mattingly Trail and take that to the Spahn Ranch. We’ll return via the El Camino Nuevo. \nEnjoy the history lessons below 🙂 \nThe Spahn Ranch\nThe ranch took its name from dairy farmer George Spahn\, who purchased the property in 1948. Many western-themed movies and television shows were filmed on the ranch\, including Duel in the Sun (1946) and television episodes of Bonanza\, The Lone Ranger\, and Zorro. It was also the filming location for the B-movie The Creeping Terror. \nLoading ...\nThe Spahn Ranch is notorious for having been the primary residence of Charles Manson and his followers\, the “Manson Family\,” for much of 1968 and 1969. Spahn was 80 years old and living at the ranch when he allowed The Manson Family (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson#Manson_Family) to move in\, rent-free\, in exchange for labor. \nDon’t forget to participate in a family photo! \n[vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”100827\,100826″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”img_link_large” custom_links_target=”_blank”] \nA wildfire destroyed all of the Spahn Movie Ranch’s film sets and residential structures on September 26\, 1970. George Spahn died on September 22\, 1974\, and is buried in Eternal Valley Memorial Park in nearby Newhall\, California. \nThe Old Stagecoach Road\nAnother HWD regular\, The Old Stagecoach Road was built In 1859. It provided an inland route between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara that was shorter than the coastal route. The first overland stagecoach to use the pass made its run between San Francisco and Los Angeles on April 6\, 1861. We’ll be hiking along the notorious Devils Slide segment which will be the most difficult segment with 400′ gain in half mile. \nHere we are at the 80th anniversary of the dedication and plaque installation and \n \nHere is a video from the original dedication \n \nEl Camino Nuevo\nMore appropriately known as the Chatsworth Grade Road it replaced the stagecoach route in 1895 and provided an easier and smoother route to transport goods. It was also able to accommodate motorized vehicles. It was replaced in 1917 by an improved asphalt paved Santa Susana Pass Road that is still traveled today. \nWe’ll be hiking along the old grade which was replaced by the familiar Old Santa Susana Pass in 1917 \nIn this 1900 photo of the old grade I have indicated some retaining walls built of dimensional sandstone from the Bannon quarry. The walls are still there and I will point then out during hike. \n \nFlorence and Charles Mattingly\nThe Mattingly’s lived in Los Angeles where Charles was a prominent attorney. They purchased two 160 acre properties in 1909 and 1912. We’ll be traversing this property\, however\, there is no evidence that they ever lived in Chatsworth. \n \n[vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]HIKE IS ABOUT 7.0 MILES WITH ABOUT 1\,550 FT TOTAL ASCENT AND IS RATED MEDIUM. SEE THE HIKE RATING GUIDE[/vc_message] \nDirections\nGo all the way to the west end of Devonshire and enter park. Follow Shadow Oak Dr. around and bear left to parking lot. You’ll pass some overflow parking along the way — you may need it ;). We meet at the northwest corner of parking lot \n \n

SUMMARY:Angel Vista potluck hike
DESCRIPTION:3.0 miles\, 800′ gain\, easy-intermediate. \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 our typical 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. \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. \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. \nDirections: \nFrom the 101 take the Ventu Park exit (3 miles north/west of the 23) and go South toward the ocean. At Lynn Road turn right. VERY soon you will pass an open space on your left. Watch for the entrance to Regal Oak Ct on your left\, where you will turn left. Take it all the way to the end and park. This is a neighborhood\, so please keep the noise down. \nWe will meet not quite at the end of the road. We’ll cross a gate along the side of the street and across from the houses\, then move 100 yards to the right and enter the trail. \nHike Distance: 3.0 miles\nGain: 800′\nDistribution: Most of the incline occurs in the first half\, which is a continuous climb.\nDifficulty (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879781): Easy Intermediate.\nShape: Out and back.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Double track\, single track.\nDuration: 4 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 (https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/messages/boards/thread/50879772). \nRelease of Liability: https://www.meetup.com/Hiking-Plus/pages/29622459/Is_Hiking_Dangerous/
