Let's get happy by hiking the Happy Camp Canyon!

The name itself is about enough to motivate anyone to get out there and hike.

Getting a bit too sappy here.

Anyway, this is a 10 mile roundtrip loop hike.

Happy Camp Canyon Park was once part of a large cattle ranch. It is an important wildlife corridor linking the Simi Hills with the Santa Susana Mountains. It is a lush riparian oak woodland with an intermittent stream. It's a beautiful park right in our backyards.

Directions:From the 101 Freeway, take to the 23 north and from the 118 Freeway West, exit Los Angeles Avenue. Go west to 4th signal (Moorpark Avenue), turn right. Go 2.6 miles to a sharp left turn. DO NOT TURN LEFT but continue straight and make an immediate right turn on to Broadway Avenue. Continue down Broadway to the parking area.

There is a $5 parking fee payable at an Iron Ranger if you park in the lot.

Parking is free outside of the lot.

I'll collect $1 at the trailhead.
