The Hike
This is a moderate 4.8-miles, out and back, hike with an elevation gain of 810’.
My hikes are slow paced (1.5-2 mph) and the end time is approximate only. We take breaks, we explore, and we don’t leave anyone behind. If this hike isn’t for you, please find another that suits your needs.
Meet me at the parking lot behind Clinica’s Health Center on the corner of Royal and Madera at 6:00 pm, we will start promptly at 6:05.

From the parking lot behind the Clinica’s medical building, on the corner of Royal Ave and Madera, we will cross over Madera and walk a short distance through the neighborhood to the trailhead. We will hike a series of switchbacks for about 1.5 miles to the cross at the top, then continue to the entrance gate at the Reagan Library. This is a steady climb (about 20 switchbacks) across the face of the hill, always in full view of the neighborhood below, and of Simi Valley. At the top are panoramic views of Simi Valley, Moorpark, the Simi Hills, Santa Susana/Santa Monica Mountains, and the Reagan Library.
