DESCRIPTION:Hike is on!\\n\\n\\n\\nHappy Camp Canyon Park\, north of Moorpark in the Santa Susana Mountains\, was home to several Chumash Indian groups. Later\, it was part of the immense Strathearn Ranch\, founded by a pioneer Simi Valley family. They ran cattle on the land and enjoyed family vacations in the back part of the canyon.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe 3\,000 acre park has retained its natural setting and is an important wildlife corrridor linking the Simi Hills with the Santa Susana Mountains. It is a lush riparian oak woodland with an intermittant stream. The canyon is sheltered by Oak Ridge to the north and Big Mountain to the south.\\n\\n\\n\\nThis loop hike will follow the Happy Camp Trail through the interior of the park on an abandoned ranch road. The trail winds through open grasslands and the gorgeous stream-fed forested canyon. Wildlife include rabbits\, bobcats and Golden Eagles.\\n\\n\\n\\nHighlights along the way:\\n\\n\\n\\n-oyster and clam rich shales\\n-yellow and red rock outcroppings - formed from underground oil fires\\n-acorn woodpeckers\\n-ranch artifacts\\n\\n\\n\\nHike is strenuous at 10 miles and 1200 ft net elevation gain.\\n\\n\\n\\nDirections to trail head\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom the 118 Fwy in Simi or the 101/23 Fwys in Thousand Oaks\, take the E Los Angeles Ave/23 North exit. Go west 1 mile to Moorpark Av (Hwy 23) and turn right (north). Proceed north 2.6 miles on Hwy 23 (name will change to Walnut Canyon Rd) until you come to a bend in the road.
