Welcome Trailblazers! As the days get longer we will soon adjust the start time on my Monday hikes,... for now just remember to bring a headlamp and plan to have fun.! This hike will be a moderately strenuous 6+/- out and back with 1300+/- ft of elevation gain. The western plateau is now accessible by way of the new hill canyon road bridge or from the end of rancho conejo blvd, and is expanding with the development of new trails to be enjoyed by hikers , bikers and horse folk. This area is a beautiful system of deeply eroded canyons, plateaus, and ridgelines in the northwest portion of the conejo valley. From the end of Rancho rd. we will drop down into the arroyo barranca / hill canyon area and start gaining elevation via the Western plateau trail to our first stop at Hill Canyon Peak. We'll stay on fire roads and work our way up the power poll lines and wait for all to rejoin.
