Humping the Hummingbird from Rocky Peak

For this Hump Day hike we'll start at the Rocky Peak trailhead, go up a bit less than a mile to the 2nd park bench where there is a trail junction with the Hummingbird Trail. We'll take the Hummingbird down about 1.2 miles to the huge rock face facing west and camp out there to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL night time view of the Simi Valley lights (picture from one of our previous hikes here). Then we'll hump it back up the Hummingbird to Rocky Peak fire road and back to our cars. I'm guessing at the stats, but they should be close.

Distance: approx 4 miles
Elevation Gain: approx 1200'
Difficulty: Intermediate
Dogs: Not for our night hikes, please.
Parking: Free on either side of the 118, but more room on the South
Trail: Fire road and single track trail

Known Dangers: Rattlesnakes (very doubtful, but possible), slip-'n-fall
