Eleven-mile hike (with about 800 ft net elevation gain) through the critical ecological linkage and wildlife corridor between the Santa Monica Mountains and the ranges to the north. Along the hike we will be surrounded by rolling hills studded with valley oaks, sycamore-lined canyons, and vistas of unspoiled California landscapes. Diverse habitats and endangered species such as the California red-legged frog, the San Fernando Valley spineflower, and the Southwestern willow flycatcher can be found in this region.
Directions to trailhead:
From the 101 Freeway, exit Las Virgenes Canyon Road. Turn north (away from beach) for a couple miles until you come to end of road. Park on street.
Bring 2qt water, snacks, lugsoles, hat, sunscreen
