Calabasas Hike: New Millennium Trail (11 Mile Loop)

The NEW MILLENNIUM TRAIL is a relatively unknown jewel of a hike that traverses the mountains of Calabasas and includes a glimpse of the homes of celebrities in the Oaks Subdivision. The trail includes opportunities to hike through native oak woodland and oak Savannah habitats including several intermittent riparian environments associated with seasonal springs.
