SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Arlington Peak
DESCRIPTION:This week: Solstice Part 1 – Arlington Peak. Since the Solstice is Friday\, we’re dividing Solstice celebration into 2 parts. Part 1: Beautiful sunset views of our cherished town. Part 2: (following week) the easier hike and food/drink extravaganza at Dry Falls. This week we’ll meet at Tunnel Trailhead at 6:30p (please carpool). This route ascends Tunnel trail 1.0mi to Inspiration Point Trail. We’ll follow Inspiration Trail for 0.6mi to the South access trail to Arlington Peak. This segment is about a mile long but ascends 1400ft\, so pretty steep and scrambly. We’ll pause for refreshments up top and take in the views. Arlington Peak affords hikers some of the best views of Santa Barbara. The descent is very steep and requires some use of hands to navigate. At the bottom we turn right (South) for about 0.2mi where we meet back with Tunnel Trail and return 1.0mi back to the trailhead and our vehicles.\nDistance – 4.8 mi\nAscent – 2397ft\nWater crossings – NO\nRock scrambling – YES!\nBush whacking – SOME\nMaximum Grade – >50%!!\nStrava Effort – 2.4x \nTrailhead: Tunnel Trailhead (aka Inspiration Point TH)\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/ySqYW7G5Zpc7CZri7 \nStrava link\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3298516557239974610 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possible wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity. You also agree that your membership of this group is based on an “at will” basis.

SUMMARY:Spooky Story Time at the Charles Manson Family Cave 👻
DESCRIPTION:🎶It’s creepy and it’s spooky🎶\nImagine it’s 1969\, you’re 13 years old and going horseback riding at Spahn ranch. You arrive and notice the owner and ranch hands are nowhere to be seen. Instead\, you are greeted by a charming young man – the notorious Charles Manson! He saddles you up and off you go through the hills\, and the trails\, and Charles’ hippie commune. That’s my true story and I’ll tell you more at the family cave. \nI want to hear your spooky stories too. \nThe Hike\nMy 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 is not what you are looking for\, please find another that best suits your needs. Thank you. \nThis is a moderate 3.75-mile loop hike with an elevation gain of about 692′. \n\nClick here to view the All Trails map\n\nMeet me at the south side of Rocky Peak Road\, along the Santa Susana Pass\, at 3:00pm. We will start promptly at 3:10pm. Please give yourself ample time to arrive and find parking. \nOur spooky hike begins with a short walk down the Santa Susana Pass Road to the trail. We will ascend an average distance with some ups and downs before descending into the canyon and to the family cave. As we get closer to the cave\, we may find some interesting artifacts that may have been put there by Manson himself. \nWe will take a break and share our spooky stories when we reach the family cave located in a creek bed near the pass road. Spahn Ranch itself is overgrown and not easy to walk through but I will point out where it’s located which is not far from the cave. \nDetails \n\nHigh winds\, rain\, hot weather\, or fire will cancel this hike\nSunset: 6:09pm. Last light: 6:33pm\nParking: Free\nTerrain: single track\, rocky ground\nDifficulty: Fit beginner\, intermediate\nRestrooms: no\nDogs: Yes\, only if leashed\nKnown Dangers: slip and fall\, rattlesnakes\, poison oak\n\nEssentials \n\nBring 2 liters of water\, flashlights\, snacks\, electrolytes\nBring your hiking poles if needed.\nWear good hiking boots/shoes\, sunscreen\, hat\nBring a jacket for cooler weather\nBug spray\nVentura County SARS 10 Essentials\n\nDirections \n\nGoogle Coordinates: 34.267166\,-118.634895\nClick here to view the Google Map\nFrom the 118 freeway\, take the Rocky Peak Road exit between Simi and Chatsworth.

SUMMARY:Oakbrook Vista Trail and Sandstone Ridge Road
DESCRIPTION:Come join me on Wednesday\, October 29 for an intermediate evening hike! After this week with the clock change I go into hosting hibernation on Wednesdays but be on the lookout for weekend hikes!\nWe will hike to the crest of the ridge to get a good workout and also some beautiful views.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Snyder Trail
DESCRIPTION:This week: Snyder Trail. We will be ascending Snyder trail from Paradise Road all the way to Camino Cielo. This is a gentle climb with some single track and some road sections\, culminating in what used to be Knapp’s Castle\, now lost to antiquity. We’ll replenish up top and head down the same route. This hike affords some great views of the sky and stars (and launches)! \nDistance – 7.1 mi\nAscent – 1910 ft\nWater crossings – NO\nRock scrambling – NO\nBush whacking – NO\nMaximum Grade – >15%\nStrava Effort – 1.9x (Inspiration Point = 1.0) \nTrailhead: Snyder Trailhead\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/4qxJKmQW7kXPnTkv7 \nCarpool: Big 5 in Five points departs 6:00p\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/sNS6bCn9NBw8Yvyc7 \nStrava link:\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3225865253285094420 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possible wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.

SUMMARY:Fish Canyon to Piano Box Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Let’s hike in search of fall colors\, this can be a beautiful spot for that.\nIt could be hot starting out (no shade) and then also get cooler as it can get windy in this area so please come prepared with layers!\nIt has been over a year since I last did this hike so nuances or changes in the trail might have occurred. Also hard to predict water level as there could be some rain that would increase the water but at this time it is probably pretty dry\, there is usually always a trickle of water even in dry times.\nI suggest due to the drive distance to try to arrive a little bit before start time. To make sure that we do not end up hiking in the dark we want to start at 2pm or as close to it as possible at my pace it should take only 3-4 hours and we will be done way before dark.\nAs a group though we should set a turn around time for any slower hikers\, to ensure we are not lingering out there too long. \nA beginner could come on their own or should start earlier in the day to allow for more time.\nDistance: 8 miles\nElevation Gain: 500\nDifficulty: Intermediate\, no beginners as we need to stay together\nDogs: A well behaved\, trained dog can join us as long as you do not expect us to wait for you\, in hot weather please understand that we might not wait for you if you are tending to the needs of your dog\nRestrooms: No\nWater Fountain: No\nParking: Parking along road near trailhead\, you will need to purchase a $5 adventure pass. Purchase at Big 5 or REI the day before or morning of. I am not 100% sure if they check for parking as they took out the pit toilet. But I usually have my yearly pass with me just in case.\nTrail: Out and back\, uneven footing\nSunset: 6:01pm we should be back before dark but please bring either a charged phone or headlamp/flashlight just in case as it might be dark in our parking area if we take more than our 3 hour time allotted (at my pace we should be done by 5:30pm latest.\nWeather: Rainy\, wind\, or unusual weather will cancel the hike. The canyon can fill up with water if there is a lot of rain. Should be dry but still plan for some water crossings. \nPlease pay attention to the weather the day of in case there are adverse conditions and then the hike would be cancelled. \nIf by the morning of there are less than 2 signed up besides myself it also may cancel. \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, slip-‘n-fall\, poison oak all can happen on this hike. If it does rain while we are hiking we would need to be careful as well (probably not likely).\nBring: a personal snack and plenty of water 2-3 liters minimum\, an extra layer in case it gets cool. I suggest wearing shoes that you do not mind getting wet\, but that also have traction to keep you from slipping on wet ground\, like a good trail runner shoe with traction. Polls are also handy to have if there is water crossings.\nFlashlight/headlamp to be safe\nSunscreen and hat is recommended because we will start in full sun. \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY:\n• You must RSVP to attend this event\, no exceptions.\n• If you choose to sign up for any event\, you are releasing the organizers of PM Hikers from all liability in case of possible injuries.\n• The organizers of PM Hikers are not trained leaders and we do not confirm the qualifications of any of its members to lead or participate in trips.

SUMMARY:Sunday Rocky Trail Hike at 4:00 4:00 4:00 pm.
DESCRIPTION:The south side of Jenga Rock with the actual Rocky Peak in the center above on Sept 7 2025. Thanks Alan and his smartphone camera. \nWhereAmEye (Tall Mark) has been doing this hike in every Sunday afternoon for over 20 years\, and he’ll be leading this event as long as he keeps getting large annual hike-organizer pay raises. This hike always happens\, even when it rains\, snows\, hails\, or blows. The only exception is when it’s on fire (or Mark sprains his knee). \nThis is a fire road with great views of the valleys and scenic rock formations all along.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Romero Cyn to the top
DESCRIPTION:This week: Romero Canyon. We will be ascending the single track Romero Canyon trail. This route starts up an overgrown road which is fairly steep\, crosses the creek and hits the intersection of the old Romero Road. We’ll hang left and ascend steadily up a single track to the intersection of that same road to re-group if we’ve split on pace. Crossing that road the remainder of the trail climbs to the overlook peak\, which is a little spur just to the left as the trail to the spool crests. We’ll replenish up top and head down the same route. \nDistance – 6.79 mi\nAscent – 2599 ft\nWater crossings – YES\nRock scrambling – NO\nBush whacking – NO\nMaximum Grade – >25%\nStrava Effort – 2.5x \nTrailhead: Romero Canyon Trail. Please park completely off the asphalt.\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/JPkPbYFytm9hpZTm9 \nCarpool: Big 5 in Five points departs 6:00p\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/sNS6bCn9NBw8Yvyc7 \nStrava link:\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3288367682117299372 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possible wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. We recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.

SUMMARY:East Canyon and Possibly to Mission Peak
DESCRIPTION:Come and join me on a 6-8 mile hike in the Newhall area. There can be some beautiful fall colors in this area at times so let’s check it out. \nThe plan is to hike East Canyon which is 6 miles and possibly add Mission Peak\, depending on what the group decides. There is also an optional short turnout to Rice Canyon\, that I was not planning on doing but you can do as well.\nI will pay attention to the weather and the light\, if it is extremely hot\, rainy or windy I may cancel. I also cancel if less than two are signed up besides myself the morning of the hike. \nElevation Gain: 1800′ (more or less depending on what you do)\nDifficulty: Intermediate\, we are not a slow paced group\, please do not expect us to wait for you if you fall more than a little behind\, only break will be about halfway through. There are some good turnaround spots so if you find you can not keep up you can still join and turn around when needed\, just note you will be on your own if you are slower.\nDogs: No\nRestrooms: No\nWater Fountain: No\nParking: Free on the street. Pay attention to signs as there is a pay lot as well\, which usually is not needed\nI suggest coming from the 5 freeway\, getting off at Calgrove going past Ed Davis/Towsley on the Old Road\, once you see the Nazarene church on the right slow down as the trailhead will be coming up. Sometimes they park all the way back to the church but usually not. The trailhead is on a parallel dirt road but you park on the street/Old Road.\nTrail: Out and back\, mostly wide road\, with some uneven footing\nSunset: 4:55 pm bring flashlight or charged phone\, for just in case\, we might not need a light but you never know.\nWeather: Extreme temperatures\, rain or wind may cancel the hike\nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, slip-‘n-fall\, poison oak\, can be on this hike\nBring: Plenty of water\, a snack\, extra layer just in case\, and a light\nSunscreen/hat/sunglasses since it is during the day\nLOTS of H20 when it’s hot (maybe 3L if you sweat a lot)\nWear Hiking Shoes for good traction and bring poles if you use them \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY:\n• You must RSVP to attend this event\, no exceptions.\n• If you choose to sign up for any event\, you are releasing the organizers of PM Hikers from all liability in case of possible injuries.\n• The organizers of PM Hikers are not trained leaders and we do not confirm the qualifications of any of its members to lead or participate in trips.

SUMMARY:Midweek Afternoon Hike! Plus Snack Share at Olympic Farms Overlook! Let's Do It.
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get a hike in before the forecasted deluge Thursday-Sunday! Bring a snack to share at the beautiful Olympic Farms Overlook as we revel in the midday sun. 🌞 \nThis is a pleasant\, scenic hike of ~5 miles with a total elevation of ~380 feet.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Tequepis
DESCRIPTION:This week: Tequepis Trail. We’ll meet for carpool at Big 5 and drive over to Trailhead. From the parking area near Circle V camp\, we’ll cross the creek a couple places heading steadily upward\, enjoying some great views of Lake Cachuma and the Santa Ynez Valley. This hike\, while long and covering a lot of elevation gain\, is easier than expected given that it never is too steep or requiring high stepping/scrambling over rocks. It is a steady cardio climb\, and we’ll re-group every mile or so. The trail ends at a Camino Cielo frontage road. To the right will be Broadcast Peak and to the left (or straight ahead) a short walk to Camino Cielo and views of the Pacific. Can be windy and cool up top for snack time. Be prepared.\nDistance – 8.14mi\nAscent – 2364ft\nWater crossings – EASY\nRock scrambling – NO\nBush whacking – NO\nMaximum Grade – >15%\nStrava Effort – 2.2x \nCarpool: Big 5 at 5:50p\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/htbrb94r4V4EACks5 \nTrailhead: Tequepis Trailhead\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/XdT6a3sVmFhkcjwt8 \nStrava link\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3240106330135437166 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possibly wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.
