McMenemy traverses the hills above some of the prettiest vistas of Montecito.

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.

The show will also include several comparison views of the areas affected by the fires of the last several decades. \nBill’s life passion is photographing the California landscape from the ground and the air. Ready to take off at a moment’s notice if the day’s light and skies intrigue him\, Bill’s aerial photography is done from his Cessna 172\, which he keeps at the Santa Barbara airport. Otherwise\, he is in his four-wheel drive Subaru getting off the beaten track! \nBill also specializes in architectural\, commercial illustration\, and fine art photography. His work can be found in the collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, Museum of Ventura County\, Carnegie Museum of Oxnard\, Santa Cruz Island Foundation\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Lompoc Valley Hospital\, Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo\, and numerous private collections.

The first 1.5 miles is a workout with an 800 ft gain. If that does not leave you breathless\, the views will. \nWhile venturing through the canyon\, look and listen for the signs of life around you. Walk carefully along the trails and discover tracks of deer\, rabbit and coyote. Marvel at the delicate homes of funnel web spiders hiding in the earth’s tiny crevices. Listen for the shy wren-tit\, the “voice of the chaparral.” Though rarely seen\, its call sounds like a ping-pong ball echoing throughout the canyon. \nHike is rated MEDIUM.

This is the Wendy Trailhead\, where S. Wendy Dr. ends at Potrero Rd. \nHeading out\, we cross a creek\, turn right at the split\, then Turn right at the dead end. We regroup at the visitor center\, where there will be bathrooms. \nWe cross the wooden bridge and go left at the asphalt path. \nAfter 1/3 mile\, those that want the easier path turn left\, go 0.4 miles and turn right at the dead end. After 500′\, wait at the bench for the rest of the group (45 – 60 min). \nThe rest will continue down for 3/4 mile. There will be a porta-potty and picnic table. We’ll regroup\, then turn left and go about 1.3 miles and another 435′ of gain before turning left and heading up about 1/2 mile. \nAt the top\, we’ll head left for 500′ and arrive at a bench and overlook. We’ll share snacks and beverages for 30-60 minutes\, then head down 500′\, turn right at the junction\, and return to our cars. \nIf you wish to return before the social event completes\, study the map so you can find your way back. \nThe Route\nHike Distance: 4.6 mi / 2.7 mi\nGain: 1000′ / 320′\nDistribution: Most of the incline is concentrated in the middle of this hike.\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate / Fit beginner\nShape: Lollipop.\nPace: approx. 2.0 mph.\nTrail Type: Fire road\, double track\, single track.\nDuration: 3.5 hours\nDogs: We pass a “no dogs” sign.\nRestrooms: Yes\nDrinking Fountains: No.\nParking: Free along street.\nWhat to bring: 1 liter of water for every 3 miles.\nHiking shoes/boots. Not required\, but recommended.\nFlashlight or headlamp. Sunscreen and/or hat as needed.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share \nHosting Route: The host knows the route.\nNavigation: Host memory\, enhanced by GPS navigation as needed.\nHike type: Social. We won’t be hiking at a fast pace because this is a social hike\, not a conditioning hike. \nStops: The host may designate stopping points to let others catch up. This hike will include an extended stop for a snack and beverage share at the half way point. We will stop at junctions to make sure everybody makes any turns or chooses the correct direction at splits\, else something will be used to mark the direction\, usually an arrow made of baking soda or sticks. \nGroup separation: Hikers moving significantly ahead or not waiting at designated stopping points are on their own regarding route and navigation. \nInteresting Notes\nHere are a couple plants you will see on this hike: \nHeartleaf Penstemon\nLeaves are shiny and saw toothed\, shaped like hearts\, 2 to 6 centimeters long and arranged oppositely on the branches. Stems are red. Small scarlet red tubular flowers. \nYucca\nWhite flowers on stalk. Stalk is often missing\, leaving only the spires from which it grows. Stalks are very strong and light\, so they make good walking sticks. Needles on end of spires. Chopped up root can be uses as shampoo. Roasted root can be eaten like a potato. Illegal to remove live stick in CA. Pronounced with short u. Dried leaves make good tinder. \nRoot can be chopped up and used as soap. To eat root\, remove skin and core\, boil 15 minutes. Then fry or bake. Flowers are mildly sweet. The fruit is also edible\, but bitter if not ripe. To access fibers: Soak for a month in water\, lightly pound leaves with rock or club\, or scrape skin off skin. Roll between hands\, then pull and separate fibers. Weave into cordage. \nDirections:\nWendy Trail Head\n4128 Potrero Rd\nThousand Oaks\, CA 91361\nCoordinates of trailhead: 34.154507\, -118.950095 \nFrom CA-118:\nCA-118 west for 8 miles.\nCA-23 south for 7.4 miles.\nUS-101 North for 2 miles.\nExit 45 Lynn Rd. and south/west for 2.5 miles.\nLeft on S.

We will walk the road and through Sage Hill campground to avoid $10 parking fee (cheapskate). Then we walk the lovely Aliso Cyn interpretive trail which leads to the climb up out of the valley. Then we drop down to Upper Oso campground\, which is closed and overgrown 🙁 We’ll pause there for refreshments. On the return we turn left to complete the Aliso Cyn loop\, which meets back with the interpretive trail.

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.

Along the way to Ojai\, on a detour off the paved Ojai Ventura River Parkway Trail\, we will be viewing some of the remaining artifacts of the San Buenaventura Mission aqueduct. We’ll have a picnic lunch in Ojai and return via a swing by Lake Casitas and Santa Ana Rd making a loop. \nHistorical Note \nThe late 18th century aqueduct was an ambitious early-California waterworks built to bring water from the Ventura River / San Antonio Creek to Mission San Buenaventura and its fields — roughly a seven-mile system of stone-and-mortar channels\, siphons and holding tanks. \nThe aqueduct suffered over time from flood damage\, agricultural reuse of its materials\, and later development. Large stretches were destroyed in the devastating winter floods of 1861–62 and\, afterward\, pioneer settlers often removed stones for house foundations or leveled sections for cultivation and roads. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries most of the original channel had disappeared. \nWe’ll visit some of what remains during our tour. Ride is about 34 miles with 1200 feet total ascent. See https://www.komoot.com/tour/2669605438 for path details \nDirections \nPoint your gps to the parking lot next to Museum of Ventura County. We’ll meet on the Main St end of lot.

Thank you Teka\, \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. It starts out steep\, moderates for a while with some flat spots\, undulates easily for a while\, then a final steady grade (but not too steep) to the lemonade stand at the top. The lemonade stand operators apologize for never being there when youre hot and thirsty\, or not. \nDistance: 5.0 miles (I think anyway\, but 4.9 semi officially). \nElevation Gain: 1200′ \nDifficulty: Intermediate – hard for beginners \nDogs: Yes\, but must be leashed \nRestrooms: No \nWater Fountain: No \nParking: Free at trailhead \nTrail: Out and back\, single track\, rugged \nSunset: Varies\, but bring a headlamp or flashlight when needed! \nKnown Dangers: Rattlesnakes\, slip-‘n-fall\, COVID-19 infected hikers \nBring: \nFlashlight/headlamp when it’s dark \nSunscreen and hat when it’s not (It gets hot as Hades in summer) \nLOTS of H20 when it’s hot (maybe 2L if you sweat a lot) \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY: \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.

McCoy DESCRIPTION:Easy Intermediate\, 3 miles\, 600′ gain\nEasier Option: 2.4 mi\, 530′ gain. 5 Washburn St\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065 \nWe’ll meet in the parking lot at the northeast corner of Madera and Royal\, just south of the Donut Delite\, on the east side of the Clinicas office. We’ll walk from there to the trailhead at 2 Washburn St. where it meets Los Amigos Ave. \nThe Hike\nEasy end of the Intermediate Spectrum\, due to the 1 mile continuous incline that can get exhausting. A fit beginner can easily complete it. \nWe cross Madera and continue through the neighborhood for about 1/4 mi\, to the intersection of Washburn St. and Los Amigos Ave. This is also the starting point for the easier option. \nWe enter a path behind the houses and proceed for 250′ to the entrance. So far\, there will have been very little elevation gain. \nWe’ll enter a series of switchbacks (zig-zag trail) for 1.2 miles to a large cross at the top. This is a steady climb across the face of the hill\, always in full view of the neighborhood below. Beginners may find this climb difficult to continue at a fast pace. There is nothing wrong with slowing down while faster hikers move ahead\, or resting for a minute several times during this climb. \nIt may seem easy to get lost because there are many different cross-paths up the face of this hill\, but they all lead to the same place. Generally\, whenever there is a choice of “left or right”\, we take the easier and more worn path. If you happen to find yourself alone and take a wrong turn (aka steep cut)\, all paths lead up. \nAt the top by the cross or one of the nearby benches\, we’ll enjoy the gorgeous 360 degree views and share beverages and/or snacks. \nInteresting Notes\nHere are a couple plants you are sure to see on this hike: \nBlack Sage\nMultiple brown buttons going up the top of the stalk\, that may have white flowers. Green leaves. Purple or white flowers that are dark brown as they dry on the plant. Squish the leaves and smell. \nA rare and sought after Black sage honey is also made from the honey of bees that pollinate the Black sage plant. Black sage is utilized in the culinary world as an aromatic and flavorful herb. It can be used in recipes wherever traditional sage is called for\, however keep in mind that foraged Black sage has a much stronger flavor than that of traditional store bought sage. \nIts flavor goes well with winter squashes\, brown butter\, poultry\, venison\, pears\, cheese\, potatoes and other herbs such as rosemary and thyme. Use fresh in a variety of different preparations or leaves. Can be dried and stored for future use as a dried herb. Black sage was used traditionally by Native Americans known as the Chumash people to form an herbal soak for the bath to be used in the treatment of bodily pain\, specifically for the feet and lower legs. \nPurple Sage\nGrey-green leaves. Aromatic when crushed. Purple flowers. Aka\, Tobacco Sage\, with mild hallucinogenic properties when smoked. Can be used as a spice or made into a tea. Tea has medicinal affects: Antiviral\, gargle for sore throats\, reduce hay fever symptoms and other drying actions. \nDistance: 3 miles (round trip)\nElevation Gain: 700′\nDifficulty: Easy Intermediate\nDuration: 3 1/2 hours\nPace: 2.0 mph\nDogs: Yes.\nRestrooms: Yes – at nearby places of business\nDrinking Fountains: Yes – at nearby places of business\nParking: Free\nTrail: Mostly single-track\, excellent condition\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK. \nWhat to Bring\n1-2 liters of water.\nSnacks and/or beverages to share\nHiking shoes preferred\, but athletic shoes will be OK.\nFlashlight or headlamp. \nDirections\nFor those doing the regular route:\n1424 Madera Rd\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065 \nFor those doing the easier option:\nPark on the street near 5 Washburn St\, Simi Valley\, CA 93065 \nFAQ\nHiking Plus Page Links\nDisclaimer / Release of Liability URL:https://dev.hikingwithdean.com/event/mt-mccoy-2/ LOCATION:Clinicas Del Camino Real Inc – Madera\, Madera Road 1424\, Simi Valley\, CA\, 93065\, United States CATEGORIES:Hiking Plus ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dev.hikingwithdean.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/118953_image_highres_530405899.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Hiking Plus":MAILTO:meetup-group-FRgxgAAf-announce@messages.meetup.com GEO:34.264806;-118.7958573 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Clinicas Del Camino Real Inc – Madera Madera Road 1424 Simi Valley CA 93065 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Madera Road 1424:geo:-118.7958573,34.264806 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251203T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251203T223000 DTSTAMP:20260408T060929 CREATED:20251107T232246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251107T232246Z UID:10000126-1764786600-1764801000@dev.hikingwithdean.com SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Gaviota Peak DESCRIPTION:This week: Gaviota Peak. Meet at South Coast Railroad Museum at 5:50p for the shuttle to Trailhead. This route ascends the South side road and Trespass Trail to Gaviota Peak. The last mile gets pretty steep\, so take your time so you don’t gas. Trail offers great views of the Pacific Ocean and Gaviota Pass. Stop at the top for refreshments. Gaviota Peak is known to be windy\, so do bring appropriate over gear. Return on the North side fire road back to the shuttle vehicles. Stop by the Hot Springs for a dip on way down (optional)\nDistance – 7.13 mi\nAscent – 2227ft\nWater crossings – NO\nRock scrambling – NO\nBush whacking – MAYBE\nMaximum Grade – >25%\nStrava Effort – 2.2x \nCarpool Spot: South Coast Railroad Museum @ 5:50p\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/v3dsFWhMT4Tb9TZE9 \nTrailhead: Gaviota Trailhead (but please do carpool!)\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/ydKmtJWe86AobHQb6 \nStrava link\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3240794108339058778 \nHike Leader this week will be Carlos Alvarez. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Carlos can be reached via text at 805-284-8137. \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.
