Saturday, October 22-La Jolla Cyn at Pt Mugu State park in the Santa Monica Mountains near Camarillo. http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/e/d/2/event_61656562.jpegThis hike will be a fast-paced 11 mile loop with apx. 800 ft elevation gain during the climb to the top of Mugu peak (1260’).. http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/f/e/0/event_61656832.jpegWhile the waterfall will likely be dry, there are views of the ocean and the Boney Mtns. Bring water, lunch, bug spray, and good hiking boots.. The parking fee is $12 at the trailhead. Also, while people often brings dogs here to hike, as this is a state park, they are officially prohibited. Meet the leader at Towsley Cyn for a 6:30AM departure, or at the trailhead parking lot at 7:45AM.

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/1/5/2/event_61657202.jpegTo get to the trailhead, drive up the coast north on PCH from Malibu. About 1.5 miles north of Big Sycamore Canyon campground on the right is the Ray Miller Trailhead, which is used to access La Jolla Valley, (La Jolla Valley http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/5/1/2/event_61658162.jpegin Point Mugu State Park 9000 W Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA 90265). An alternative route that we will be using from Santa Clarita, that seems to be faster, is to take the 101 Fwy to Camarillo. Exit S. Las Posas Rd (near the outlet stores). Follow Las Posas Rd to PCH. Go South on PCH. Pass Pt Mugu Rock and the turn for the Ray Miller Trailhead will be the first left. If you see the Big Sycamore Cyn campground, you have gone too far. Look for this LA Jolla CYN sign north of Leo Carrillo State park and south of the intersection of Las Posas Road on PCH.http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/a/5/6/event_65447702.jpeg Leader - Nikki
