We had some hike this morning. Since the hike wasn't explained very well, we stumbled around trying
to find Chivo Canyon. We first headed up a very steep hill. After reaching the top, we could see where we
wanted to go and had to come all the way back down, then head up the canyon. We saw a couple of oil seeps, lots
of vegetation, and even some fossils. We also had to cross some dicey areas where the old road bed was washed out. It
was an adventure.

Six hikers were on the Sage Ranch hike today. We were treated to lots of wildflowers, great sandstone formations and
scenic views of Simi Valley. This short loop trail through chaparral, grassland and oak woodlands makes this a very
pleasant hike. We even met a very cool dog!
Six adventurous souls were treated to beautiful scenery, a bounty of wildflowers, and the tranquil sound of rushing water on the Trail Canyon hike today. It's hard to believe this hike is so close to home. Although there was a good many stream crossings this early in the season, the inevitable wet pants and boots were worth the effort.

Seven humans and two canines met at Wildwood Park for a hike on the
Santa Rosa Trail loop.
The wildflowers were abundant on the north side of the ridge. Views from the top were spectacular as promised. The king snake
was safely released only minutes after his capture.

Low temperatures and a bit of wind was not about to stop six intrepid Trailblazers on our trip to the
Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve today.
The dusting of snow in the high mountains only added to the beauty of the area. In almost no time, the memory cards in our cameras were full!

Owl's Clover was most everywhere on our 9 mike hike to Simi Peak today. Seven of us enjoyed the warmest
hiking day so far this year. Evidenced by carpets of wildflowers, Spring is most certainly here!

Six of us took the Los Robles Trail to the East, until we got within about two miles from Triunfo Park. We then hiked back along the Los
Padres trail. The pace was slow, it was a beautiful day and the flowers were a plenty. The pond was overflowing into the
trail and there were lots of tadpoles.
Park District group to talk about living with mountain lions. 3-12-2005 Nine hikers had a great hike in the Santa Monica Mountains. We started out on the Mishe Mokwa Trail, past Echo Point and Balanced Rock and across a stream to a rest area at Split Rock. Then up past Skull Rock, past several fields of Shooting Star wildflowers and looping around to the base of Sandstone Peak. Most of us climbed Sandstone Peak (Mt. Allen), the highest peak in the Santa Monica Mountains at 3111 feet, where we found great views of fog filled valley and ocean.
3-5-2005 We hiked 8.4 scenic miles in Malibu Creek State Park today. Starting out on the Yearling Trail, we took the Deer Leg Trail down to Malibu Creek. We followed the Crags Road Trail to the old M*A*S*H site and then on to Malibu Lake Dam. Next, we followed the Forest Trail to Century Lake and then on the visitor center (old Reagan Ranch House). We took a break at the picturesque Rock Pool and then took the Yearling trail back to our cars. You should have been there!
