SUMMARY:Fish Canyon Narrows
DESCRIPTION:DESCRIPTION:\nExcellent write up of this hike at Hikespeak “Fish Canyon Narrows in the Sierra Polona Mountains” by Seth Snigelske. This is a beautiful area. Bring your camera. Not only is the area beautiful\, but you might see some of the endangered species along the way. Please stay on the trails here and watch where you step during the stream crossings. The hike starts on an abandoned asphalt road\, moves onto a dirt road at the north end of Castaic Lake and follows Fish Canyon. At the old Cienaga campground we split off the main trail for the trail to Piano Box Canyon\, a beautiful single track wooded trail. After Piano Box we will enter the narrows with red/orange cliffs. Our next 1.5 miles will be following a creek bed with 100′ cliffs on both sides. This section of the hike reminds me of Zion National Park. We will take a 15 minute snack and rest stop at the old Roger Camp before heading back to our cars. Be sure to enjoy and take pictures during our hike in the narrows. \nDETAILS:\n· Hike leader volunteer(s): Dave.\n· Meet: 37773 Templin Highway at 7:30 am\, departure at 7:45 am sharp (December 14).\n· Distance: ~ 11.5 Miles total (out and back style)\n· Elevation gain: ~ 1050′\n· Time: Approximately 7 hours hiking including a 15 minute snack break.\n· Conditioning: You need to be in generally good physical condition.\n· Dogs: Should skip this hike.\n· Hiking Poles – recommended (for water crossings) I wouldn’t hike the section between piano box and Rodger Camp without hiking poles.\n· Restrooms – None.\n· Adventure Pass – None Required. \nHike leader Notes: Pre-hiked this trail on 11/27/24. The fall colors are great with plenty of water. As we near the end of the year I like to toss our a tough hike. The section between the start and Piano Box is a 4 but the section between Piano Box and Roger Camp will wear you out. I have hiked this section 5 times and it wears me out each time. There is bear scat and Mt Lion tracks on this trail so lets stay together. Lots of poison oak (red this time of year). I will include photos from 11/27 hike. \nIMPORTANT NOTES: We’ll hike at a brisk pace and ask everyone to stay with the group for a friendly and safe outing. Any guest that you wish to invite should join the Community Hiking Club (CHC) to participate. Depending on water flow\, we may cross streams\, but there aren’t exposures\, bugs or other warnings.
