SUMMARY:Sunday 4pm - Hike with a possible sunset on Rocky Peak Trail
DESCRIPTION:Next week we will have gained nearly 5 minutes of daylight since 2 weeks ago with the sunset at 4:48. Better start shopping for sunscreen. See you there. Pic is Sunset on the Rocky Peak trail Oct 2023. 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.

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. 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.

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.
