Whitney Canyon Easy Hike

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/6/8/c/event_90886732.jpegThis is a beautiful 5 mile hike. It is in a riparian area with shade along most of the route. Your hike will start off on a dirt road, but after about a half mile, it becomes a single track all the way to a little waterfall. The waterfall is dry this time of year, but there will be wildflowers all along the riparian corridor. This is an easy hike, suitable for newcomers. Bring a snack , lots of water, sun protection.

Meet at the Whitney Canyon trail head (by the gate) at 7:00 for a 7:15 departure down the trail.

Directions: From Valencia, take the I-5 freeway south to the SR-14 North. Exit at Newhall Avenue. Take the right at the fork on http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/9/a/0/event_194114752.jpegthe off-ramp. When you reach the stop sign, turn right. This will lead you quickly to the Park and Ride. Park. Parking here is free. If the Park and Ride is full, you may park in the MRCA lot ($7.00). It is wise to come a little early to secure a parking spot in the Park and Ride. Look for your leader at the green MRCA gate by the green sign at the top/left of the Park and Ride.
