SUMMARY:Conejo Mountain's Majesty - 5 mile\, 1\,100' - Gentler\, Not Beginner
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a hike to the very tippy-top of Conejo Mountain. This 5.0-mile hike has a total elevation gain and loss of 1\,100 feet (at least\, according to GaiaGPS). Because of the distance\, I’m classifying it as a Gentler\, but there are some steep spots for which trekking poles may be advisable. Almost 1\,100′ of elevation gain and loss are at the upper edge of a Gentler hike for us\, too\, so there is an option to skip some of the elevation at the cost of some distance. \nWhen I hiked this on 8/4/24\, there were some spots of loose rock\, and some trail erosion in a flat area near the bottom. \nWe will park at the Powerline trailhead on Via Ricardo in Newbury Park’s Dos Vientos neighborhood. We’ll climb the Powerline Trail to the “teardrop”\, then scale the fairly steep goat trail to the meadow at the top of Conejo Mountain\, where we’ll make our way west to the rocky peak. As this implies\, the climb from the teardrop to the meadow is pretty steep\, so we’ll take our time there. \nFor those who don’t relish heights\, this is a good place to turn around and retrace your steps down. \nHowever\, once at the top\, we’ll have a truly spectacular view of Boney Mountain\, the Oxnard Plain\, the Channel Islands\, and if it’s really clear\, all the way east to Mt. Baldy and the eastern San Gabriels. \nWe’ll descend the (steep\, but not quite so steep) route back down to the upper Powerline Trail\, and retrace our steps to the cars. \nOptional Brunch / Lunch afterwards at Three Amigos nearby in the Trader Joe’s complex in Newbury Park at Borchard & Reino. \nDIRECTIONS\nExit 101 at Borchard\, and drive southwest past Wendy\, Reino\, and up and over the pass into the Dos Vientos subdivision. Turn right at the very first right-hand turn after the pass\, onto Via Ricardo. Park in the vicinity of the trailhead / crosswalk. If you’d like to set your nav system to a street address\, 147 Via Ricardo is the closest residence. \nIf you need a restroom stop before the hike\, there are open restrooms at Dos Vientos Community Park\, just off Borchard\, just beyond Via Ricardo. \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.

Your personal safety depends on your own judgment and experience. You agree that you can navigate back to your transportation by yourself\, and agree to do so if you fall behind and lose track of the main body of hikers. \nBy now you should know the guidelines to participate in our morning hikes. Please review them before you sign up for the hike. And just in case\, here are some highlights: \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\nPlan on completing the entire hike or please find an alternative hike that better suits your hiking level.\nNo dogs on this hike\nBring ample hydration and electrolytes\nAll participants must be 18 or older\, or accompanied by a responsible adult
